Halloween and a day of Susan

Happy Halloween

It is Halloween day and I have the day off and am looking forward to some Susan time. Now I do remember years ago before I started to go out as Susan I did go out dressed briefly to like a store and let everyone think it was just my Halloween costume but over the years I no longer view it as a costume but a big part of who I am. Actually back on Halloween of 2009 I did my first female costume, Wonder Woman, yes this is me and ever sense then if I went out on Halloween I had an actual costume one not just dressing as a female.

I slept really well last night and got up today at 7am and quickly got ready to take my car in at 8am. Now I di have my nails and did take time to put in a little mascara but I was really wishing I had gotten up early and dressed as Susan as today would have been the perfect opportunity. Yes I don't like it when people think this is just a costume but I realize that at this time of year and especially today some people will think that. Toyota was busy and no one said a thing about my nails. I waited for my car so I had my computer and a man did sit down next to me at the counter with is computer and he never said a thing but I know he notice my nails as a couple times he asked me to hand him little advertisements on the counter to look at plus I did have a cup of hot chocolate that was on the same side as he was. My car was done a little after 9am and I stopped briefly at the library downtown before going home to get ready for the day. Now I plan to go out today as Susan and yes probably a Starbucks and some shopping but I am already thinking about tonight being Halloween.

In years past I have had years I had no kids trick or treating and sometimes I have had maybe 40 kids and I will be handing out candy with my nails. The question is do I stay as Susan or change back to my male self. I really am leaning to being Susan as I am sure most of my neighbors have seen me and have a good idea and this might let them see me close up instead of just driving by in my car. I guess I will make that decision tonight.

I started getting ready about 1pm and took my time as I wanted to look really good in case I hand out candy as Susan. By the way I figured it out, I am going to leave it up to fate. I am going to go to Starbucks by my house and write my blog from yesterday and stay there till 4:30pm. When I leave I am going to call COSTCO and order a pizza for dinner and when I pick it up I will see if they have any Halloween candy left, if they do I will buy a bag to hand out as Susan and if they don't I wont worry about it as I won't have candy, I am guessing they will have candy though. I was all ready by 2:30 and a little more fancy for a daytime look as I wore my red sweater dress, black tights and ankle boots.

I got to Starbucks and went in and they were not really busy. I went in and ordered my drink and sat down and worked on my blog. I was looking forward to people watching as I wanted to see some costumes but really no one came in wearing costumes, one lady was all in black with cat ears on and the tip of her nose was black and she had drawn whiskers on her face but that was it. I finished and posted my blog from yesterday and just checked things out on my computer till 4:30 before leaving.

I called COSTCO and ordered my pizza for 5pm and was n my way, it only took about 15 minutes to get there and they were actually busy. I went in and asked if they had any candy left and the lady told me where it was and I went to check it out and they had pallets of candy. I bought a big bag and went and paid for it and then went and paid for my pizza and still had to wait about 5 minutes for it to be done. Now I didn't notice anyone looking at me as I really didn't pay attention but I am guessing some did after all I was in a short red dress and 3" ankle boots, not the typical look of a COSTCO shopper. By the way the bag of candy was $19.99 but I got probably 5 times what I would have gotten at Fred Meyers and those bags are $6 to $8. I really hope I get a lot of kids tonight or I will have a lot of candy left. I got home at 5:20pm and had some pizza as I waited to see if I would have any trick or treaters. I am a little nervous though as I am sure my neighbors know it is different answering the door to them this way, of course a lot of time the parents stay at the curb and let the kids come to the door.

Well I didn't have to wait long as my first group of 4 kids showed up a little after 5:30 and yes there was a woman with them. I actually had 4 groups of kids before 6pm and the second group had 2 women with them and there were 2 men standing out at the street. The other two groups the parents stood out by the street, Now coming this early it was still light outside as it didn't get dark till a little after 6pm. I was actually having fun though and was looking forward to more kids but it turned out that was all there was, those 4 groups with 18 kids so I have a lot of candy left over. I didn't recognize any of them but I was really looking at the kids as I put the candy in their bags. Now being small groups like this I am guessing they are from my neighborhood so I guess I took a step forward.
