I had a group of trick or treaters tonight!
I had just cooked my dinner, sat down in the living room (thankfully the curtains were shut) and had like two bites of dinner and the doorbell rang. I freakin' froze, they kept ringing the doorbell. Finally I succumbed and opened it. It should be noted that I was wearing by hubbie's Gap pajama bottoms that are completely baggy and basically hanging off me (blue stripes) with a gray long sleeved shirt that totally didn't match. So, here I am answering the door only to find like ten kids standing there yelling trick or treat with all of their dads standing out at the sidewalk. OMG! I had to say sorry I don't have anything and attempted to explain that I just moved in. The kids kept yelling trick or treat and the dads said something but of course I couldn't understand their English! I said something about next year I'll know better; what the hell? Who cares about next year? Only when I shut the door did I realize what the hell I was wearing. OMG again!
I went back to the living room literally had five more bites and the doorbell rang again. This time, I didn't answer. When I thought the coast was clear I slithered to the back of the house to the dining room, shut off all the lights at the front of the house and have been hiding back here ever since. Nearly two hours.
It's just past 8 and I'm wondering if it's safe to go back to the living room. I think I'm going to make a go of it again. One can only sit at the dining room table for so long.

OMG - I could not quit laughing reading this - I can just see you doing all of this!!!!! Too fricken funny!!!!!!!! And then try and explain why you didn't have anything - you didn't have any tofu to give them - and then the dad's in the background - too pissin funny - I was almost in tears!!!!
LOL - no tofu. But I was eating tempeh for the record.
I do wonder what the dad's were saying to me. Of course I asked what? But still didn't understand them, I just kinda laughed and slowly shut the door on the kids.
I was half waiting for the front door to be TP'd or have a few eggs on it this morning. Fortunately that didn't happen.
You are funny - I love reading about all of your experiences - can hardly wait to come out.
