Shiver me timbers!
I love Halloween season. I'm watching Psycho and last night I watched Final Destination 2. I like scary movies this time of year when the weather gets cold and I can curl up under a blanket on the couch. And it certainly is getting cold. My thermometer says it's like 40 degrees, I need to pull out my favorite sweatshirt! Brrrrr. Despite the cold, I'm getting anxious for my slightly-skimpy costume to arrive. I can't wait to try it on and get all the details together. Apparently pirates are popular this year, according to the Observer. Although I pride myself on being an original, I'm kinda looking forward to being in kinship with others this weekend. It'll be fun to
say "argh" to my fellow pirates (including Tré!). I have to get shopping though ASAP. I'm getting an early start on the day, at least for me, because I'm going to lunch with Tracey. Which means I need to get in bed; six days in a row of work has worn me out. My boss said our numbers on the weekend are now meeting our weekday numbers, which means I'm doing a good job -- but 100,000 people checking the site when it's all up to me, no pressure there! At least I know I'm doing my job well, the kind of reassurance I never got from my last job. All compliments were swiftly followed with a slap in the face. Maybe I will be a success after all. Now if I only had a pirate's chest of gold so I could quit working and start writing a novel. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just follow our dreams?

It be so good to hear ye be joinin' the ranks of the pirate nation, lass. And in a skimpy outfit, no doubt. Aaarrgh to ye!
Your picture in this post made me think--I should get a giant Jolly Roger flag and carry it around behind me... or better yet, turn my car into the piratemobile! Yeah!
A Jolly Roger flag would be a great prop. If you could turn your car into a ship that would be cool too, but I don't think you want to stand next to your car all night.
Trace and I are going to Carolina Place Mall after she gets off work to find the rest of our props. You should come, you work skipping slacker!
ok i'm glad it snowing here was important enough to make into your blog because for me- it was extremely important. i even texted you at like 9 am so that you'd know it was a big deal. but its ok, when i only have like 3 fingers left in march from frost bite, you'll realize it. and thats weird b/c i totally watched pirates of the caribbean the other night too. claire and i stil have no idea what we're going to be :( and we have halloween things to go to almost every night this weekend! HELP!
