At Hallowe’en you can take on a different persona. To date, I’ve been a cat, ER surgeon, hippie, cop, goth punk rocker, witch, devil, princess, angel, and She-Ra. I’m not sure what I’ll go as this year, but I always think of something.

Oh my gosh! There are so many great costumes available for infants, children, adults, and pets, but these ones for kids definitely take the cake for the cutest and/or funniest:
When Life Hands You Lemons, Dress up As a Lobster
The vibrant, imaginative Lobster getup fits infants 12-18 months old. It’s too adorable for words with its funky extra legs, hat with antenna and eyes, plus hand covers in the shape of claws. There’s even a special zippered area so changing diapers won’t leave parents feeling like the adults in Robert Munsch’s book, Thomas’ Snowsuit.
Let This Black Cat Cross Your Path
Okay, so I’m totally a sucker for felines! You’ll fall for them, too the moment you set eyes on the black Cat’s Meow Hoodie Set for very-young infants aged 0 to 3 months. The hoodie has spunky cat ears, and there’s a small bib that says ‘Meow’ in a white scripted font.
It’s Alive!
Give some love for the insane Doctor/Mad Scientist Roleplay Costume that comes with a white lab coat. Wear it with Coke-bottle glasses and a crazy white wig. And don’t forget to fill a plastic test tube with neon liquid for extra drama. This outfit fits children 4-6 years old.
Come take a look around today at Toys R Us! There’s so much to see, and my entry doesn’t do their selection justice. Buy something for your child(ren) and maybe even a fun outfit for yourself!
I’m definitely not a gamer because in order to call yourself one, you have to be able to play for longer than a few seconds without ‘dying’. Why is it that whenever my character has to leap across a cliff, I always fall to my demise? I guess I need more practice. Well, I need that and some talcum powder for my hands because they sweat when I get nervous taking that jump.

September 29th - I know, I don’t need to remind you what day it is. Mondays are tough, I’ll give you that. But they can be great when you start them off with a hot cup of java…flavored java…like pumpkin spice, cinnamon, French vanilla…oh! and Irish cream. Sorry, I got a little carried away there. But, if you stock up on some of these delicious flavors, I guarantee you that your Mondays will NEVER be the same!

1982 - First Broadcast of Cheers on NBC-TV - This show was great! Especially when Woody would be behind the counter. Poor guy didn’t always catch on when people were pulling his leg; jokes would go right over his head. But my favorite part of this show was the theme song…”You wanna go where everybody knows your name…” It’s true though, when someone uses your name when they’re talking to you, it feels more personal. So, the next time you’re buying someone a gift, personalize it with their name or a phrase that identifies with them. PersonalCreations.com has dozens and dozens of ideas for you to choose from.

Confucius Day - I don’t need to go into a whole description of the man in today’s holiday. It’s Confucius, one of the greatest philosophers of all time (I think all philosophers were pretty great). There’s no escaping his teachings and wise sayings. I love quotations so therefore I’m a huge fan of his sayings. Although, you know how the saying goes “don’t believe everything you read,” well, it’s true. You’d normally find Confucius sayings in a fortune cookie and often times it would have a humorous twist to it. Chances are if you’re reading a humorous limerick that has Confucius’ name below it, it has most likely been slightly altered. I’m not sure why people would alter his teachings and sayings. I enjoy them the way they are - thought provoking and deep! We should totally celebrate today’s holiday by taking a glimpse at his famous life lessons and reflecting on them. OK, we’ll start with me since I have my personal favorite ready to go, it reads “Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.” What’s your favorite? If you don’t have one and always wanted to read more about this philosopher (or others), then check out Overstock.
