15 Halloween costume ideas

Is it too early to do this? Maybe. But I usually end up waiting until the last minute to think of one, so maybe this will help.

  1. Karen Kilgariff from My Favorite Murder. This would work best if I could get a friend to be Georgia Hardstark, but mostly it would just be fun to be allowed to talk about true crime the whole night.
  2. Chance the Snapper. Never turn down a chance to be an alligator/crocodilian.
  3. Lizzie Borden. I think I'd pretty much just need a fake ax and then creepily say the rhyme in people's ears.
  4. An alpaca farmer. I saw an inflatable alpaca on Amazon and I want a reason to buy it.
  5. Nailed It contestant. I have a Nicole Byer shirt (well I will when it arrives) and then I can put on an apron, a gold baker's cap, and carry around ugly dessert. I think I'd be quite popular.
  6. A nightmare. I think this would involve dark clothing, creepy makeup, and a pillow.
  7. Impeachment. Not 100% sure what this would look like, but maybe I could carry around a bunch of peaches.
  8. Pumpkin spice. I would likely cover myself in as many labels of pumpkin spice products as I can find. Or maybe I'd try and parody a Spice Girls outfit.
  9. Bureaucracy. I think I would be covered in paperwork and I would hand out forms and red tape throughout the night.
  10. Mannequin. Honestly, I have this idea because I find them terrifying. I would paint myself pale and find a very catalog-y outfit. I would also freeze at random points in time.
  11. Medusa. Why wouldn't snake hair be fun?
  12. The Try Guys. I'd need 3 buddies, but this could be a very fun group costume.
  13. Velma. I do want to do a Scooby Doo gang group costume at some point in time.
  14. Another democratic candidate. By Halloween, this may not work as well, but I thought it could be funny to pretend to be yet another candidate. And honeslty, how many would people know I wasn't one?
  15. Deanna Troi. She was one of my favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation characters growing up and I think her outfit wouldn't be too hard.

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
