Halloween Recap

Open Letter to Whomever Packs My Bags At the Grocery Store:
Please do not just randomly shove my groceries into the bag with no regard for their shape. I realize most people just throw the bags in the car right away but I have to spend 15 minutes walking home and I’d rather not have to do it with a pineapple wedged into my back. Also, when I tell you to pack everything into my reusable bags I do mean everything. Don’t start putting things in plastic just because your half-hazard packing job didn’t allow room for more than three items. Maybe I look like a fragile, waif woman to you but I can decide for myself if my bags are too heavy to carry, thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Jess

Not to sound bitter or anything 
So, I promised a Halloween Party recap and I never delivered. I will try to remedy that now, but I’m not sure how much insight I can give seeing as how I don’t remember most of it . . . yeah, it was one of those. The upside is that I no longer feel like I’ve gotten old and never party anymore. I obviously haven’t adjusted to my new alcohol tolerance level, though, because I really didn’t drink that much. That shot of absinthe certainly didn’t help though . . . yeah.
For my costume I decided to be some kind of moth creature, mainly because I found cool wings at Value Village but also because I’m a little obsessed with moths. I tried to do some cool makeup but I’m a little out of practice since I no longer wear makeup on a daily basis.
Here’s the before picture:
And the kinda creepy after:
Yeah, there was pretty much no lighting by the time I was done and I suck at self-portraits, but you get the general idea. Here’s a sort-of full length shot of the costume:
Anyway, people started arriving just after 7pm and probably by midnight I was passed out upstairs with vomit in my wig. I’m so gross. Luckily, I didn’t actually manage to take any pictures of the food, but then I don’t think I ate much of it. Dan had it worse than me, he had four drinks of absinthe on top of everything else. Note: this is not his costume.
That’s my boy. I swear I picked the least indecent pic of the lot.
Unfortunately, most of the pictures have all my friends in them and I didn’t think to ask if I could post them online so I’m going to protect their innocence and not They’re all pretty blurry anyway, as you can imagine. Here’s one last one of me mid cigar puff. I don’t usually smoke but I enjoy the occasional cigar or shisha a couple times a year.
I’m really lowering the bar on what should be included in a health blog here. This is not exactly usual fare for me, but I love all things in moderation. Okay, I could maybe do without the absinthe, but there’s nothing really moderate about absinthe.
I have some post ideas lined up so hopefully I can get some actual content up here with some degree of regularity. See ya soon.
