The big day finally arrived, the Halloween festival has came to town, and the entire town is involved in it. Traffic has been closed down in the middle of town, the location where the greatest part of the celebration will occur. There are few businesses open, as no one would bother to try to shop at this point. A live local band has been brought ( Read more... )

"I thought I might take Stephie trick or treating..."

"Oh," Anne replied hesitantly. "You mean she didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"She's spending the evening with the McGuffins. They've got this whole thing they do at the church. You know games, prizes, stuff for kids. Most of Stephie's friends are going..."

"Ah."

There wasn't much else I could say. Anne of course would be enjoying the festival like the rest of the town, and I didn't need to ask with who. I already knew ( ... )

The morning starts out well. I get up, clean, dress, and eat breakfast like any normal person. Toast and a fried egg, with nothing stronger to drink than coffee.

After that, I force myself to do something I've been hoping to avoid. It can't be put off any longer though. Wiping my finger over just about any surface in the house reveals a layer of dust an inch thick. This place is simply too big for me to take care of alone. Any place would be too much for you, Rick would have relished telling me. Whatever the case, I call the Gazette and have them run an ad in the classifieds:

Domestic help needed. Weekday afternoons only. Good pay.After that, I rush to the store. Soap, cranberry juice, fresh produce, scotch--I'm out of everything. It's lucky I get there when I do as the cripple man who rings me up says they close early Festival night. A town Festival? How yokel can you get, huh ( ... )

The time for fun and foolery is here! farah_clothilde October 29 2007, 14:30:44 UTC

I’m SO excited! It’s just great to get the chance to dress up and become someone else for a while and leave the real world behind ( ... )

I was at the school late yesterday, helping one of the girls finish her costume. I barely made it to that new store, Rococo, before she closed. In class, while the girls are cutting out fabric, they talk about that store a lot. And it's worth the talk. Rococo is the right name for it, too. Everything about the store is decorative. There's absolutely nothing anyone really needs. I could live there. I find a plain black velvet domino mask, with a red lining. It's like it was made for my costume. The girl who owns the store is really nice, and so are her cats. I found a pair of black nylons with red spiderwebs that work with my costume, too. I had to leave before I bought more stuff. I have to remember that starting next month, I have a higher rent payment, but I'll also have someplace to decorate ( ... )
