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.

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
