I was not going to dress up for Halloween this year.

Just wasn't feeling it.

As I sat in the parking lot at Rite-Aid, checking "to do-s" off my list while waiting to begin Will's Kindergarten Halloween party, I thought "I'll put a little white cream on my face real light and be a Twilight Vampire."

You can't be a Vampire without sparkly skin and Wednesday was very sunny.

You've got to be authentic you know.

So I used spray on hair glitter on my face and hands.

Gold glitter to make "amber eyes" because I'm a vegetarian vampire of course.

Found an excuse to buy the disgusting bag of blood that has been calling my name for a month. Health nuts snack! In my quest to be healthy I have learned that you always keep a supply of "fuel" with you just in case you get hungry. You don't want to "eat" the wrong thing in a moment of weakness.

I have to admit. I was one impressive vampire. Even though Reed kept asking me why I wouldn't wear plastic vampire fangs. He'll have to wait a few years to read Twilight and find out for himself.
