Oh the joy of becoming someone else for a night. Leaving the "Good Girl" "Red Head" and "Mr. Mischief" tags at home and taking on a totally different personality...
Well, at least the "Good Girl" and "Red Head" can leave their tags at home. Little Mr. Tyler can't be anything but cute and mischievous... no matter how we dress him.
Our favorite part about Halloween in Southern Arizona is that we don't have to plan the kids costumes around the weather. Big difference from North Idaho and Chicago. Gone are the days of a costume under a Winter Parka, or picking out the kids costumes based on the "roominess" or "nice bulk" so you can fit lots of layers underneath. Plus you can stay out as long as their little legs will hold up and get LOTS of CANDY!
Although, the great benefit of nice weather, is probably one of the drawbacks too... after the kids were in bed, the most imaginative/immodest costume showed up at our door... this teenage girl was a bloody belly dancer... didn't have the courage to snap a picture, so you'll just have to use your imagination. But sufficeth to say... nowhere near a cute as our Midnight Witch, Zombie, and Fireman!
Happy Halloween! Hope yours was as memorable as ours!

Great blog title. I could write a fascinating paper about 'border areas' using your commuter patterns as a case study. The 'space in-between' is a very sexy topic right now both in history and literature. And I would get to work use cool words like 'marginalize' and 'trans-national.' It would be riveting.
So was that a 'bloody belly dancer' in the gory sense, or in the British-profanity sense?
Either way, the story just works.
Wow, marginalized, and trans-national are words I use to describe myself almost every day... maybe we should get together on a paper. Sexy is another word I use to describe myself, so this is really looking good.
I'm going to post a "day in the life" blog here withing the next few weeks, trying to show the adventures of my daily commute.
Although, you know what would really be cool, is if you could get your school to send you here on a "research" assignment - then you could do a ride-a-long, kinda like those trainee cops do. I'll show you my marginalized, trans-national, sexy life first hand. Sounds fun right?
Just let me know if your in, and I'll get the ball rolling!
