HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Because my boyfriend has a super-demanding job and had to be up at 2 am on Sunday morning for the Marine Corp. Marathon, I went out to Georgetown with my girls for Halloween! SO MUCH FUN! Picture a lot of people just walking down M St. and Wisconsin – everybody in a costume!

I, naturally, was a Marine – I wore Andrews BDU’s. (Hey don’t knock a free costume!) This was a huge mistake. All night long I was approached by Marines going, “Where’d you get that uniform?!” “Its my boyfriends,” I say. “Well, that’s a real Marine uniform – that’s what we wear.” What did they think, my boyfriend wasn’t a real one? That I got some bootleg version of the new digital BDU’s? I started telling them in response, “Oh really? Cause my boyfriends part of that fake Marine Corp squad that only works 25 hours a week instead of the usual 80 and wears a high and tight haircut only to look cool.” What the heck?! Maybe they just wanted to express their pride in being a Marine. “We wear that uniform too! OO-rah! God Bless America! YAY Marines!”

Anyways, come Monday, I went out and bought all this Halloween candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters. Another huge mistake. I only had 7 trick-or-treaters – and they all came at once. All wearing the same costume. It was like the mom went out and bought 3 of the same costume and distributed the pieces among the kids. One kid was wearing the body suit of the Superman costume while his kid sister was wearing the cape. The other two were wearing the big “S” and one kid just had a mask on. It was weird. Anyway, now I have all this leftover Halloween candy!

Not only do I have it all over my apartment, people are feeling the need to bring in their candy to work and leave it on my desk. Its because I’m in an admin space where everyone can walk by and see everything. I seriously have mastered the art of opening a Twix candy bar. One of these nights, my roomate’s gonna come home and find me buried under endless amounts of candy wrappers. I seriously don’t think I can eat anymore of it! I wouldn’t be surprised if I turned into a bite size Snickers!

So I figured out a way to get rid of all our leftover candy. I’m just gonna start chucking it down from the balcony at the sliding glass door underneath us. I don’t feel bad considering their loud music and the fact that their Mexican illegals. They’ll probably like it cause its free anyway!

I like my plan.
