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.

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
