This is about Halloween...

Buzzzzz



Usually I am stoked about Halloween. Usually I can’t wait in JULY to start planning my costume (this year I started a plan in May). But that plan fell by the wayside and this year I’m just not feeling the Halloween buzz.

Maybe it’s because I lived in a house last year that had a ton of kids visiting for treats and this year in a basement apartment I won’t be handing out candy.

Mainly it’s because at Halloween all the good costumes for scaring people are mostly for men and all the women’s costumes that are any good are skimpy and sized os or one size fits most. One size does not fit most. It doesn’t fit me, I barely fit the plus size costumes which are at about a 12-16 size. So I tend to make my own costume, which is fine, but can get expensive if you can’t find what you need at your local thrift stores.

Take last year; I was a bee, or Abby (that’s my name for those of you who don’t know). Finding a bee costume in my size was nearly impossible so I made one from a sewing pattern. It was not the easiest as the costume pattern I liked was too small too and I had to alter the pattern.

Anyways I guess I had planned on losing weight by the next Halloween as I usually do and as usual I did not and couldn’t buy a costume this year once again. It’s really disappointing after a while of years gone by wishing you could lose some weight but not losing any – if not gaining.

I’m recycling last year’s costume and being a ZomBee, (cute eh?) this year. It’s not what I really wanted but it will do. And this is a really depressing post….

But I am excited about Christmas already!! I have big plans! BIG! Lol. So don’t worry I may not have great expectations for Halloween but Christmas will be great! And frugal! (I’ll write about it in a few weeks.)

Happy Halloween!
