Happy November 1st. Hope the rest of you are sleeping right now.

It's currently 3:30am on November 1st 2012.
 It has been one of those nights of laying in bed, staring at the ceiling, and wondering why my body insists on being wide awake. I've been having nights like this for the past two weeks. I'll have a couple of really great nights of sleep, and then one really bad one.
Apparently my dog is having sleeping problems as well, he's gotten up and moved to a different part of the room about 20 times.

I know that in a few hours I'm probably going to hate everything.
 That bird chirping a sweet song up in the tree... "Bird, you shut up or I'm going to throw this rock and knock you out of that tree."
  My dog comes up to me, wagging his tail in greeting... "YOUR TAIL WAGGING IS SO ANNOYING. GO CHASE A RABBIT OR SOMETHING."
I drink a cup of coffee, drink too soon and the result is a scorched tongue...throw coffee cup across the room.
  Put on socks... "These socks make my feet so stinkin' hot! I HATE SOCKS." ...I go barefoot... "DANGITT, STICKERS AND ROCKS...oh great, now my feet are bleeding."

You get my point? This girl needs sleep.
 
 So yesterday was Halloween. Not that you needed to me to tell you that, I'm sure all the ghost, goblins, and zombies running around gave that away. This was the first year in my life that I've ever done anything for Halloween. My church hosts whats called 'Trunk or Treat' You decorate your car trunk, and yourself, and there is a hayride that goes around to the different churches.
 My friend and I went for a 1920s/Classic Hollywood theme. I went with a flapper girl, because well...to be honest I like their look. I actually like a lot of the looks from back in the 1920s and up, I would have liked to have lived back in those times.

Admittedly I really liked getting to dress up. I'll be honest here folks, there is still that little girl inside of me that loves to play dress up. Also, I had a bunch of candy leftover...probably should just make an appointment with my dentist now to get cavities that I will probably soon have fixed. 
 I got that dress at Goodwill for 10 bucks! $40 for a costume from the costume store? No way pal.
 We had a lot of fun, a bazillion kids came through. Some with some of the CUTEST costumes I've ever seen in my life, others that made me go... "Your parents are failing for letting you dress up like that." But its probably best for me to not get into that....

Well, I think maybe I'll go try to get a couple of hours of sleep in. If that fails I'll just make me some coffee and try to do something productive...
   I may be found curled up on the bales of hay later today.
