Crunch Time

Posted in Halloween on October 20, 2009 by The Adam

Halloween has come so fast this month, if only I had a few more weeks to prepare. This year seems alot more busy in comparsion to previous years. The yard haunt gets more elaborate, more props, more ideas, more fine tuning. This year, I decided to get most of the basic yard elements done, and put out the “stuff I don’t want to get stolen” out on Halloween day. I decided to take my time this year, slowly put out decorations and be able to enjoy the month. This is my favorite season of the whole year, I am going to savor it by making cookies, drinking cider, carving pumpkins and decorating at a slower pace.

Now for some news around the globe on Halloween. Apparantly Jon and Kate are going to be “Popular” pumpkin carvings this year, HA! I highly doubt that! TV land is doing a “Roseannes Wicked Halloween Bash,” be sure to tune in. The huge nightmare of the “balloon boy” is going to become a last minute Halloween costume, I have no comment on that. In Los Angeles, apparantly there is some people dressing up as “Illegal Aliens” with emphasis on it being a “Alien” costume, it says “Illegal Alien” on the front of the costume. I guess it upset some real illegal immigrants. The body of a 75 year old man body was found on a balcony, it was there for several days because people thought it was a “Halloween Prop.” Poor guy! According to a poll from rismedia, four in ten adults have admitted they keep treats for themselves on purpose and not give it all to the trick-or-treators. 30% also said they keep a handful for themselves!

  1. Was it last year they finally found out a woman had hanged herself; and everyone thought it was a Halloween prop? Not a good way to go. Poor lady.

    I’m thinking, at the moment, that I haven’t gotten what all I have wanted to get done, “done”, and I’m not going to panic. We can only do what we can do, and sometimes life, and death, get in the way. So I’m not going to be upset that our bonfire isn’t as decorated and haunted as I wanted it to be. I have decided, especially after the week I’ve had, that if I get a few gravestones out, a few pumpkins and funkins carved, and the food on the picnic table, I will be happy and satisfied.

    Happy Halloween, Everyone!
