quesarahWould anyone like to go dancing this weekend? I'm up for anything, house, techno, hip-hop, industrial, goth, whatever just so long as I can dance my ass off all night.

I'm going to decorate for Halloween this weekend. Not sure if I'm just going to pick up simple stuff from Target et. al. or if I'll look for more interesting decorations. T and I had a great witch decoration made from natural materials; she had a great craggy look to her face, and her coarse dress draped perfectly over her broom. I wonder where we got her? Hmmm. Regardless, I want to decorate because for the first time in many years I live in a neighborhood with lots of children. I want them (and their parents) to know that my dwelling is a safe and welcoming spot for them to visit on Beggar's Night. Our front porch light doesn't work (faulty wiring in the fixture) so I figure some decorations and lights will compensate.
***
Have I mentioned how much I love this time of year? :D I think I'll do some kind of private ritual to mark the season, some meditation. The idea of thinking about loved ones who've passed is resonating with me. I'm missing Gertie lately; she was the kind of grownup who gave out full-size candybars to trick-or-treaters. Almond Joy and Mounds bars, those were her favorites.
I miss my Mamaw Lelah too, and Jamie, and Jenna. Man, I have a list.
