Halloween 2013 Chronicles - Perfect Preppers

It's right around the corner... HALLOWEEN!

Hubster and I were quite busy this weekend with our prep; within two hours and four stores we were able to procure all the items (save three) that we need for the party. Here's an x-ray filtered view of the collection.


At this point, we need to finalize the character backgrounds which will likely be completed this afternoon. It is rainy and dreary outside, which happens to be perfect for the theme and we can get in the mood.  Might even have a mini fire if we can get some thunder and lightening.

If that gets done, we can have everything ready to print and put together for the invitations. Those should go out in the next week.

So far, I've hinted that the theme involves the work of Tim Curry.  No one has guessed correctly, though Devo's idea of Rocky Horror Picture Show was smart. (Maybe we'll use that next year.) The only thing that made it better was Rhett's FB posting about Tim Curry's best role was actually in Loaded Weapon 1.

Real Eck Abode Convo #345

Me: (calling from work) Hi love of my life, what are you up to?
Hubs: I cleaned out the foyer closet!
Me: Oh yeah? That's awesome honey! That closet has been driving me crazy. It's so messy and cluttered. Thank you for doing that.  What did you do with the extra stuff?
Hubs: Oh, um... I moved it.
Me: Moved it?
Hubs: Yeah, it's been reappropriated.
Me: Nice use of a $2 word.
Hubs: Thank you. See you soon. 

(I get home, check out the foyer closet and then completely forget about the closet remainders. 2 hours later I go to the HALL closet to look for toilet paper.)

Me: OMIGOD THERE ARE DEAD BODIES IN OUR CLOSET! (running away) AHHHHHH!
Hubs: (giggles)

Now I know where our Halloween stuff is.
