Halloween...The Morning After...

I had a very interesting Halloween and it did not go at all how I had planned.

Here was my original plan: Come home from work, wash off my makeup, make chili for Cameron and his co workers because they have inventory this weekend, then come home get dresses up as Pam from The Office and go to our churches Halloween Party. Then come home and relax.

Here is what actually happened: While at work I realized that I did not have all the ingredients for my chili, so I would have to go to the store on my way home...one problem...I had a giant bloody wound on my forehead with a pencil sticking out of it. But I sucked it up and went. It was an interesting experience to say the least. Most children were not afraid to say "What the?" or "I know that's fake!" It was actually really cute. I even let a few touch it. One little boy practically followed me around the store asking questions about it. Their mothers has different reactions, some gasped when they came around a corner and saw me, some stared and a few thought it was pretty cool and asked about it. The men in the store said nothing to me at all, a few stared but most just ignored me.

I left the store and got home. I started to make the chili when there was a knock at the door, trick or treaters....I handed them candy and let them admire my forehead. While this was happening my neighbor had opened her door. She asked about my makeup and then we started to chat. The kids left and we continued to talk when she just started crying. She needed to get to the Marjorie Mason Center downtown by 8pm because then her boyfriend would be coming home and if he found out she was leaving...lets just day it would be bad. But she didn't have a car and was going to have a to call a taxi. So I offered to drive her. At first she refused but I said it was no problem. About half an hour later I was driving her to the shelter.

She was a really sweet girl and I hope the best for her. You never know how your day is going to turn out.
