I must apologize for the fact that it is currently Monday, not Thursday, and this post was meant to be up on Thursday. It’s been a crazy week just passed and it’s only going to get worse as we get closer and closer to Desert Bus. Speaking of which, there are going to be a lot of exciting announcements on the Desert Bus site this week, so check in every so often, and keep an eye on the Desert Bus Twitter and Facebook feeds! One thing I will tell you now is that the Craft-Along items will be posted on Friday, for you to gaze upon in wonder, drool over and plan to bid on. There are so many amazing items this year, and even if you can’t afford to bid on things, see if you can’t stash away $10 or $20 or $30 for the event, because we’ll be doing a bunch of donation drives where you can donate and be entered to win some really really awesome stuff.
Ok, moving on to the actual blog post, this week’s (er, that is, last week’s) post is going to be a straight picture post, showing the decorations and foodstuffs I managed to throw together for our Halloween party last Wednesday. We categorically did not have time for this, nor was it a great idea to have a party mid-week, but as our friend (and a fellow Desert Bus planning crew member) Kara said a while back, “I miss Halloween!” There’s never enough time anymore to do stuff for it, but dammit I like dressing up and having parties. So we did. Even though it was a terrible idea and we didn’t have time. And everyone had fun, and in the spirit of special holiday times, I didn’t even strangle our friend Kathleen for showing up covered in craft herpes (translation: glitter). Amazingly, while she did attempt to rub glitter on other party-goers, very little of it actually transferred to our apartment itself. And when I saw her a couple days later it appeared she had managed to remove the shimmery covering from her own self. I’m convinced she’ll be trying to clean glitter out of her bathtub for months, though.
