Thor as the Mickey Mouse Wizard in Disney’s Fantasia
How are you guys doing? Did you enjoy the extra hour of sleep this weekend? I’m feeling really great. Lots of energy and feeling productive:)
However, I am so sick and tired of this election now, I can’t wait til it’s over tomorrow! It’s one thing if media wants to puke campaign stuff all over you for a few weeks before the election, but here in America it starts a year, or rather two years before. This whole year has been about the damn election and I’m sick of it. I’ve been avoiding social media the past few weeks cause not only do people post about it and share articles with false info, the apps are filled with reminders. When J took T out this morning he had seen a line going from the church next door to us (voting station there) and all the way to downtown, people will probably stand in line for over two hours. Insane. Why the heck did they not vote before? My husband voted by mail weeks ago, super easy (I can’t vote since I’m not a citizen).
Ok enough about that.
We had no good ideas for what to dress Thor as for Halloween this year. Our building has a competition for the pets and we wanted to join. I ordered a kinda boring costume just few days before, it arrived on time but it was waayy too small (Thor is a tiny dog but it still didn’t fit). So I came up with something in the very very last minute. I put Thor in one of my long sleeves and put J’s Disney hat on him. I’m quite proud of the pictures I took, and also proud of the photoshop edit I did:) This was obviously not a costume T could walk around in, so he had to wear some of his other shirts during the day. Our building had a grab-n-go of treats in the lobby – to avoid trick or treaters coming to peoples doors – this is not the year for any kind of holiday or event celebration, we can all wait one year.
I bought a headband witch hat a few weeks ago. Felt silly to dress up, but this is the one time of year when I like to have fun with makeup, so even if we were just staying home I “dressed up” (only from the neck up though haha). J was wearing his Svengoolie t-shirt. In the afternoon we watched a favorite movie of mine, “High Spirits”. That movie is so bad that it’s good. I must have watched that movie like 5 times a year as a kid hahah.
Looking on social media I can definitely say that the majority of humans was dressed as the tiger king (like why? that documentary is old by now) and the majority of dogs was dressed as ghosts. At least we picked something creative for T this year.
On Sunday we enjoyed sleeping in and then we walked to the diner next door and picked up some waffles for breakfast. J watched football most of the day while I was housewifing; did some laundry, cleaned the apt, hand-dished (ya, I made that word up), baked an apple pie and cooked us dinner. Also took a quick snoozer in front of the boring football game at one point:) Pretty easy weekend but that fit us well.
And speaking of nothing, how cool that it was full moon on Halloween/All Saints Day. Also cool that October had a full moon twice, that’s rare.
Seriously, he’s too damn cute!
Both J’s phone and mine always want to create albums called
“cat” when there’s pictures of Thor🤣 So he was my cat on Saturday
I really miss Swedish candy, but boring american candy is ok on Halloween
