That's right....full size....we don't skimp on shoveling sugar into your kids mouths....they're not my problem. I just love to see their eyes light up when you say....YES! Please take two or THREE! They almost cannot contain themselves....almost like I can't.
Halloween is by far both mine and Bayou's favorite holiday. We actually met at a Halloween party that he threw...in the very house we both now live in.....Vomit. Sorry....back to spooky.
Anyways...I know it seriously just turned October on Monday but I already feel behind and not in the spirit. See....I have LITERALLY an entire closet full of decorations. I love dumping it all on the floor, to have the dogs drag most of it into their crates...turn everything on..listen to all the spooky sounds. Watch the animation. I love it all. The scarier the better.
Just take a look at this creep I built as part of the haunted house:

But this year? Boo on Halloween. Yes...I said it. Boo-urns. I am knee deep in attempting to get our living room "renovated." And by renovated...I mean, slapping some paint on the god-for-saking textured wood paneling that makes that room look like a dungeon. Oh...and the faux brick....yes, we have both dark wood paneling and faux brick on the walls....OH! And I almost forgot. The "architect" added "beams" to the ceiling to give it extra character....and by "beams" I mean sculpted and painted pieces of FOAM that have been glued to the ceiling. Classy. I'll do a post later of a before and after of the room...You may poop your pants because it will look so awesome when it's complete.
So since I am rather handy and Bayou doesn't have a choice....we are renovating. I plan to paint the "brick" a nice creamy (gross), off white color with high gloss to make it look like tile, while the wood walls will become more of a nice grayish/brown color (not poop colored..I said NICE). We will FINALLY add base trim and try to "hide" the ceiling beams by re-painting the ceiling all white. I have already ordered a fancy storage bench for the front door complete with hooks for purses, bags and coats. I also have new drapery...a nice pewter blue color.
We are still on the hunt for a rich colored brown leather sectional sofa to replace the tattered one that Burn destroyed...I would eventually like an unusual looking wine hutch and maybe a small-ish table and chairs for dinner....bar height....cafe style. But it all costs $$...and I have few these days.
I guess I feel like I can't add to the junk I have to move around in that room until at least everything is painted. Which means no decorating, if at all...until a couple weekends from now. How many weekends does that give me to enjoy my spooky decor? 2? I don't think that's enough...I like a month at least.....is it wrong to just keep them up through Thanksgiving? Those decorations are dumb....leaves and shit. Blegh....
What about a Halloween decorated Christmas tree? Don't judge...I actually think that would look relatively awesome. Nightmare before Christmas style...but I digress.
I can't even think of what type of costume I want.....at all. Maybe something fancy with face painting. The last party we threw at our home...I went as a Dirty Pirate Hooker (idea came from Anchorman)..and Bayou went as Captain Ass Pirate. See?

| No...that's a fake ass....not his real one. Sorry ladeez. |
And then last year I went to work looking like this:
Yup....rode on the train....in public...all the way downtown like THAT. Full face make-up...the whole shebang. I was up at 4am to start that shit and it came out AWESOME if I do say so myself.
Hopefully I will have some pics of decorations and a costume in the weeks to come....if I can suck it up and get excited for Halloween that is....we'll see.
Boo-urns.
TBag. Out.
