I dressed up as a bag lady for Halloween.

By that, I mean I wore two ginormous sweaters, my Big Lots slippers and tucked my leggings into knee socks.

I could barely sit still yesterday. I was so anxious to see all of the small tots dressed up as Elsa’s and super heroes I have never heard of. I even put the candy in a porcelain bowl & lit all of my pumpkin candles. I was ready! Prepared for a full night of trick-or-treaters! Unfortunately, there was a really adorable mini Luigi with a lil mustache & he won me over & I gave him all of our candy so our porch light was out by 6:15 p.m.

There was also an edible lil Pikachu who yelled at me for giving his friend the good candy.

I was born in the wrong era.

I think I would excel in, like, the 50’s.

I went to a Leon Bridges concert this weekend. *SwOoN* That old-timey, doo-woppie music speaks to a part of my soul that is buried deep beneath a love of indie folk & Kelly Clarkson.

I want to go to a sock hop in a hot pink poodle skirt with lil bobby socks and saddle oxfords on. Afterwards, I want to hit up the local soda shop & sip on a root beer float. I would like Garrett to wear a little letterman cardigan & ask me to go steady by giving me his class ring. He would also drive a red ’57 Chevy and we’d go to the drive-in and he’d try to put his arm around me during the flick. *Gasp*
