Last night was really funny. First, it was bright and sunny when the trick-or-treaters started wandering around our neighborhood…at 5:30 PM. CU and I went for a reallllly long walk, during which we encountered a young girl engaging in a blood-curdling screamfest. I think she was yelling for everyone to come to her house…I think. Any other night of the year I might have been concerned but on Halloween, even if she really is getting chopped up into a million pieces, what are you going to do?

When we made it back to our house, people were setting up camp in their front yards, ready to hand out candy. Our neighbor across the street even had a box of Franzia…we assume…for the parents? Maybe it was for him, who knows.

After we showered and cleaned up, we headed over to Posados for dinner. For those of you in and around the DFW area, you’ll know that Posados is always busy. Always. So busy in fact, we usually have to park rather far away. Last night, though…rock star parking. Right in front. Heh. When we showed up close to 7, we were one of about four parties in the restaurant. I’m not kidding. That place was dead. After dinner we went to DSW Shoe Warehouse and I picked up some really cute shoes, then we came home.

Heading back, the crowds of candy beggars had increased significantly…as did the shock value of the costumes. We saw a couple of young ladies whom we affectionately named “Slutty Pirate Wench” and “Slutty Something With a Short Skirt.” Parents, do you really let your daughters out looking like that, or were you at Posados with us and as such, had no idea what they were doing? I also spotted a roaming gang of young men, shirtless and with saggy pants. Fortunately, they were roaming away from our street.

But, another Halloween has come and gone…anyone have any good stories?
