A Lot About Nothing

As usual, promised myself last Halloween that I’ll get started on my costume early enough so that I wouldn’t be rushing around at the last minute putting something together.  Did that happen? Of course not.  My procrastination came to the forefront again.

After Googling costume ideas yesterday, I came across an interesting one: Cat Burglar!  And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.  I just went to the dollar store and picked up some ‘theif gear’ (binoculars, flashlight, toy tools), I already have black fitted clothing, I remembered picking up a free black toque from work last year, and I have a pair of black Nike sneakers.  The only thing missing was the cats.  Since I can’t trust my own cat to stay cooped up in a backpack for a couple of hours, I picked up a couple of life-sized Ty stuffed animals (Carlton Cards had buy one, get one 50% off).  So my entire Halloween costume ended up costing me less than $25 (the darn cats were the chunk of it… too bad I didn’t have a thrift store near me at the time… but they’re soooo soft!).

Be safe tonight and try to pace yourself with the candy.
