Halloween

Let me describe my Halloween for you.
5:37 in the afternoon, seventy-nine degrees outside. Candles are burning in the kitchen, the TV is on in the den. I'm sitting on the couch in sweat pants and a U.S. Marines t-shirt that I got from who knows where. Arlo are Dapper are near, enjoying the quiet sound of typing and Emiliana Torrini singing from the computer speakers. 

Kathrine was over for a short three hours. We made milkshakes and cookies and talked about how healthy we are. We put on our dress up dresses, reminiscing about previous days.

I have approximately twenty pages left in the book A Wrinkle in Time which I intend to finish tonight. I'm hoping the weather will drop thirty degrees to justify a fire, though I'm planning on having one regardless. Chai tea, a good book, and a fire will perfect my enjoyable day. 

I suppose the simplicity of this holiday would be boring for most people, but I'm content and happy. :) 


I don't even remember what year this was!
