I want to wear a cute costume but 2 years ago I was just 10 days out of my body lift and still had tubes in me (not so sexy ), last year I was moving and this year I will just have had a baby and I'm sure I won't fill up to doing much but taking the kids to trick or treat. So to all the hotties that are going to dress up and look HOWT have fun, and have a drink (or 3) for me!

I goto 2 holloween parties every year and usually have a blast. But this year i will not be attending any, mostly due to the fact that i have given up drinking. It will be hard to avoid drinking and smoking , not to mention all the food that is there. So to keep on track i have made the decision not to attend

Just think of all the parties you will get to go to after surgery.... I am actually kind of excited about going to a costume party on the 18th .. I usually dont go to parties.. but this year.. I have kinda turned into a social butterfly...


Now to find a sexy costume to wear..

I can't wait to lose all this weight so I can wear some catty costume...among other garments. My mom had the bypass and has become a clothes freak since.

I love the wonderwoman costume

Wow, seeing these costumes brings back some memories for me... I recently left a position at a costume company. I actually worked with some of those costumes (the Wonder Woman one, for instance).

A couple things to keep in mind if you really want a certain costume for this year:

1.) Order early - this is the busy time of year for costume companies (duh, right? - the company I worked for did HALF their yearly sales in the six weeks prior to Halloween) and they may run out of your costume if you wait too long.

2.) The sooner your order, the better chance of getting a replacement if the costume you receive is defective or not the right size.

3.) You get what you pay for. The cheaper priced costumes tend to be of poorer construction and lower quality materials. If they have the same or similar costume in a deluxe, you might want to consider going with the higher-priced one.

Ah memories...

Have fun!

This is the running amount of money saved by not having to spend so much eating out. Number based on spending $20 a day on food. And that very conservative!!!
