1. Beauty supply stores are freaky, godawful places that frighten me. Like that first time you stepped into Babies R Us for a shower gift and had to run screaming from the place. It's like that, but with wigs.
2. I also went to Auto Zone and bought new wiper blades. That was much less baffling, but still not my regular kind of venue. Wiper blades always remind me of my friend Emily, who once had a mechanic tell her that "all right-thinking people change their wiper blades every six months." I hope she doesn't use that mechanic any more. Because all right-thinking people are obviously like me, and change their wiper blades three rainstorms after it becomes painfully apparent that their wiper blades are shot.
3. [hysterical aside] HURRICANE SANDY IS GOING TO END US ALL! AHHHHHHHH! (I bought the new wiper blades before I learned a franken-cane was going to kill us all to death, bee tee dubs.)
4. Numbers 2 and 3 have nothing to do with Halloween costumes.
5. My son refuses to wear a fake braid.
"Hoods are better than braids," he told me, as he casually leaned against the couch this morning. Here's the photo his father took at the preschool costume parade this morning:
Lula is going to be Leia on Bespin, and Lumpyhead is going to be Darth Maul. If the HURRICANE OF DOOM doesn't get us first, that is.

Oh how I miss the [name of preschool] Halloween fest. Nathan, Jr., is adorable. Still, this makes me long for disheveled Sir Topham Hatt.
Halloween is still not so big here in NZ. TLM went to a school disco yesterday - the kids were supposed to dress up as their favourite star or space character. But because I'd had to spend the previous 3 days out of town for work, all I had time to do was draw a big star shape on one of her tshirts. She decided to just wear her favourite dress instead...
