Our Halloween: As told to me by those who remember

It's Halloween party recap time! You might have noticed that we've been a tad quiet around here lately. First, an apology. We really have no excuse except for the fact that we might have killed most of our remaining brain cells on Friday night. I don't think it was any crazier than any other Halloween celebration we've had in the past 10 years, but there is one small detail this year that makes all the difference. We're all a year older! I am beginning to see the hangovers last well into the next day, if not the day after the next day. But that just means that Friday nights are the way to go and I can't feel guilty for remaining immobile all day Saturday. Small adjustments make all the difference. Oh and water water water.

Live at PJ's was our bar of choice for the second year in a row. It's not that we really love this place, it's just that none of the college kids that go here are smart enough to call in advance for a table. That means that we get the pickings of all the tables in the place, and this year we moved on up to VIP status with our corner lounge area. No more fighting that slutty nurse for a place to stand, we had our own couches (to stand on). When we got there at 9pm, my heart sank to see the place completely empty, but then I remembered that people in A2 don't party like us geriatrics in Plymouth. They come out at 11 (remember those college days?). Thankfully by 11, there was a sea of costumed revelers and the hot mess could truly begin. The next thing I know, we're eating at Panchero's, I'm wigless, and it's 3am. Fortunately, Leigh is always there at every sloppy moment to capture the memories on film. I'll just share a few of our faves and maybe not so fave moments from the night. The rest was just a fantastic blank spot in my memory. Shout out to Deb though for being entered into the "Best Costume" contest. I don't think she won (mostly because we were all too busy jumping on couches to know she was in the contest), but she won in our hearts!
