I got all Birmingham on my cottage the other day and cleaned the hell out of it, even taking a moment to scrub the burners on the stove. They don’t even touch food! (FYI for those of you who don’t know it, when it comes to personal living space, Birmingham is the cleanest person I’ve ever met. I think he vacuums his vacuum with a dustbuster.)
So when I was finished with my cleaning task, I decided it was appropriate to put up some fall / Halloween decorations. All I had hanging around were some leftovers from when I went as the “Ghost of Halloween Past” to last year’s kickball party, plus a really melted pumpkin candle. I decided to hop on over to the dollar store to see if they had anything else that might be fun for decorative purposes. And what I saw when I got there was: fake spider webs, fake spiders, fake bats, fake vomit and fake blood. It was then that I realized I could spend $8.65 on 8 items (including tax) or I could have just not cleaned my house.
Happy Halloween!
(I’m thinking about reinstating the 30 activities project for NaBloPoMo, so I may not post again until the craziness starts on Thursday!)
