Our workplace goes all out.  You should see our building, with almost 300 people, in different teams, with all the teams choosing themes and decorating to the hilt based on the theme they have chosen.

Our team chose American Idol.  Now I don't even watch TV, so I had no idea how to dress or who the people are (yes, I have heard of Simon who's nasty and Paula, who isn't there anymore, but that's it).  I couldn't name 1 of the contestants if I tried.

So I had to laugh when one of the young gals announced, "Renee can wear her red Renaissance dress and be Stevie Nicks."


Mind you, they tell me she's never been on the show, but since they have celebrity guests, she COULD be on it sometime.  So tomorrow Stevie Nicks will drive 40 minutes to Dubuque, Iowa and work as a Customer Service Rep for the day.  lol         ;D

I got a costume from party city, its supposed to be medusa, but there isn't really anything that says why... it's just a black "crushed velvet" greek style dress that is slit up one side with see through sleeve "wings" but I got my specially fitted vamp teeth to go with it, so I'ma be a greek vampiress

I don't know what to do this year! Tonight at the caf, they had the yearly Halloween dinner, and I wore my garb, but I couldn't even stay for the costume contest, since I had to run off for my wig call for Sweeney Todd. I debated about dressing up tomorrow for class, but I don't really know if anyone else plans to. And then on Sat, I have a 2pm and an 8pm show of Sweeney... So I'm bummed. Because Halloween is my favorite holiday!

I have plenty of garb... no where to wear it to, just at home. If it isn't raining/snowing again, I will be sitting out on my patio, in case any kids come over. My grandaughters are wearing their garb, I know.

I wore a mini witch hat with my normal work uniform tonight. I got lots of smiles. lol

I've got a party at my sister-in-laws tomorrow.  Since there will be a bunch of kids at the beginning I think I will go as a pirate so as not to traumatize them with a bloody zombie.

Ya beat me to the punch! Lol. I finally decided what I'm gonna be & got some of it yesterday: I was gonna be the swine flu but all the pig snouts were gone in the places I went to (go figure), however, I did find a cow snout & a chicken snout so I was debating weither to go as the bird flu or mad cow disease...I chose mad cow so I got the cow snout, I'm gonna paint my face white w/black cow spots, then I'm gonna put red spots & blood trickling down the sides of my mouth & carry a box of tissues. I still need the ears w/horns & maybe a tail so I'm hoping I get lucky & find those today...
Why be mundane when you can be a Rennie?!

I work in the OR...but my Elf-self woke up and I went to work with my ears on...One of "my" surgeons had to go get his camera. I'm waiting for the pic, but the responses were great!

Here it is the day before Halloween and the school district I work refuses to let us dress up...so I, being the rebel that I am, decided to wear a special headband that just happens to have kitty cat ears attached  :)
As for tomorrow, I still have not decided...my son is only 1 so I am not really taking him for major trick or treating, just a couple friends houses, so it will probably be something very simple...he is going to wear his Pirate costume though...unless it gets cold, then he will wear his Bat hoodie

Tomorrow night, I'm going to an open mike poetry event at a local Barnes and Noble.  Originally, I was going to dress as a pirate to go along with the poem I'm going to read.  BUT, I'm now seriously thinking about going as Lieutenant Hagen Luke, United World Flying Corps.  He pilots a Besler Arabian, the finest steam-powered, propeller-driven attacker ship in the world in the War, begun in 1895, against the remnants of the merciless invaders from Mars.  After destroying his family and turning his world into a smoking battlefield, Luke lives for the day when the slimy "octoes" are utterly eliminated.  He grew up reading "adventure poetry" like "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson and "Paul Rever's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and "The Derelict" by Young E. Allison.  It would seem quite appropriate for this daredevil to read "A Tale From Devil's Tavern"!  Of course, I'll have to check the flying schedule to make sure that I'm free for the evening . . .

I'm going to be a Phoenix so I can show off and use my new tattoo as part of my costume!! 



I bought a really pretty red slinky dress, pinned a red feather boa on the bottom and feathers on the top.  Then I spray painted white angel wings pink and yellow and hot glue gunned red feathers along the edges.  I'll be wearing yellow leggings, yellow shoes, red long gloves, a yellow beak, and a bunch of feathers in my hair along with pinned in fake colored red and orange hair strands.  It should be pretty rockin'!  I'll post a pic or two after this weekend. 

We're going to a big party downtown at the natural science museum with a live band, costume contest, food, and a magician show...
