My Gosh TC, I don't mean to ignore the meat of your post but as I was reading the part about your halloween costume, I was thinking "What is she thinking, Halloween costume? and why is she shopping for Halloween costumes this time of year?" I had to scroll up looking for the date of your post because I thought this must be an old post or something. Then I realized, it's almost the middle of SEPTEMBER! I feel like I've been asleep or something for months! See what stress does to you? Anyway, I thought this was funny so I thought I'd share.
