better late than never, here are a few photos of the neighborhood halloween decorations. the people at the end of my street (right near the traffic circle) go ALL OUT with the halloween celebration. i always miss the festivities, of course... halloween is usually right in the middle of pledge drive. this year it wasn't, but i happened to have symphony rehearsal instead. bah humbug.
scary, eh? bwahahaha! good thing my poor photo-taking skills landed the camera's wrist strap right inside the frame of this terrifying image! you probably would have fainted to see the horrifying sight sans-strap!
for something more soothing, here is a picture of my favorite house in the neighborhood:
the whole thing used to be slate blue with white trim. very ho-hum. then someone new moved in and gussied it up. i ADORE this house now. the colors are spectacular.
here's a nice church sign to also help take your mind off the frightening sights above:
oh, and here are some new cute shoes i forgot to tell you about! they're from target, and are EXCEEDINGLY comfortable. i wear them everywhere. who knew that $20 shoes could be so AWESOME?
and finally, for your viewing pleasure, is a photo of my friend mary who is going quite nutty in a parking lot in raleigh. she started running around, throwing her hands in the air, and shouting "wheee!" for no apparent reason.
i personally find this photo quite hysterical, though i understand if you prefer the others. maybe you had to be there.

All reasons why I love your blog.
I SOOOOOO *heart* your neighborhood. I am going to have to just move up there!
We did have someone in our neighborhood hire a hot dog vendor to serve free hot dogs. They tasted great and everyone had a blast.
