Ode to a Holiday Dedicated to the Pursuit of Sugar

I can't believe that it's November already. Where did 2006 go to? It doesn't feel so long ago that I was ringing in the New Year, and now it's about time to do that all over again.

Yesterday was Halloween, and although not many kids showed up at my door, I carved pumpkins and passed out candy and pretended I was twelve years old again. I baked pumpkin seeds and ate too much candy and laughed until my face hurt. And then I curled up on my couch with all the lights out to watch scary movies.

I miss being twelve.
