Saturday was Halloween, and it was relatively low key. I woke up early, thanks in large part to the extremely courteous dog who started barking at 8am and was still going strong at 8:30. I ran some errands (grocery store, bank, post office, car wash, etc.) and then came home.
Mike came over around 2 and surprised me with a gluten-free pumpkin pie (which was SO good, btw). He then spent the next half an hour dancing around gleefully decorating. My apartment looked like the fall fairy had whipped through there. It did provide some nice Halloween ambiance for an otherwise sunny and beautiful California day.
First on our "Halloween movie marathon" was The Nightmare Before Christmas, a movie I love and quote frequently. I sang along for most of it, but then fell asleep for about 20 minutes during Jack's present deliveries. When that was over, Mike got up to make us pizza (on gluten-free crust of course) with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Michelle also decided to join us for the next two movies.
WE watched I am Legend and the original Halloween, which I had DVR'd and neither of them had ever seen. Sure, by today's standards it's not anything fancy, but there is something disturbing about a man who doesn't speak, never moves faster than about half a mile an hour, is insanely strong, and has had no compunction about killing since he was 6-years old.
After the movie marathon, we cleaned up and went to visit Mike's sister, who was housesitting two large and extremely fuzzy dogs. I gave one of them the nickname Demon Dog because his one blue eye glowed red in the dark.
Lastly, we went over to Mike's and watched Prom Night, during which, I fell asleep. Yeah, it was THAT good.
Overall, Halloween was mellow, but fun. We only had one group of trick-or-treaters, and so I have leftover candy :)
