Now that it's October I'm thinking about Halloween (and yes, even Christmas). Did you see this month's creepy confoozled.com masthead? By the way, I know I said for September I was trying to avoid the obvious themes for the masthead, and most of the time that's true. Halloween is one of the exceptions - I love Halloween, and this site's colors being what they are I have to give the holiday a nod. Other exceptions to the rule are Christmas, and sometimes Valentine's Day and the Fourth of July, which happens to be my birthday and my favorite day of the year. Hmm, I guess I use spring images in those months, too, just because I'm so happy to have winter over and done with. Oh fine, there isn't really a rule, except that it's my site and I'll do what I want. 
I do have a nice, obscure theme planned for November.
So back to Halloween. My goal this week is to do a little bit of decorating around the house. I didn't even get to decorate last year because Brooskey was into everything and, I'm sure, would have destroyed all of my decorations. This year he is much better, but I still probably won't decorate to the extent I have in years past. I imagine fall foliage garland around the bottom of the TV would be just a bit too much temptation. I need to find our existing stash of decorations, decide what I no longer want to keep and give it away to someone who will use it, and possibly pick up a couple of new, more doggie-friendly decorations.
We've been invited again to our friends Mike and Beth's annual Halloween party, and have to come up with a costume idea. I fear we just can't top Peter & Lois Griffin... Other things I need to do to prepare for the "big day": purchase candy to give out to trick-or-treaters, purchase some goodies for us, and send out some Send Some Spook this Halloween with Free Ecards from Halloween e-cards to friends and family.
