Upcoming Holiday
We are fast approaching Samhaim. One of my favorite holidays. I love getting dressed up. I plan to go to work in costume again this year. I went last year as the queen. I make my own costumes and had a crown and everything. It was cool but I was the only one who dressed up. This year I plan to go as a belly dancer which works out as halloween is on a Wednesday, the same day as belly dancing class. The instructor is having Goddess night, which almost makes me question what her beliefs are. I think she might be Pagan but not necessarily Wiccan. We can wear costume, makeup, bindi’s ( that’s the thing on your forehead between your eyes.) basically anything different than the usual. It out to be fun. Then she is going to have a Halloween ball the Saturday the 3rd. There will be a band and dancing and the teacher is going to perform. I have never seen her do a performance but she moves so well when she demonstrates in class. I think it will be alot of fun.
Does anyone else have plans that day? I’d be interested to hear about it.

I am such a geek, I’ve always dressed up too, even when I have to go into work. I lucked out this year – I’m a children’s librarian now, so it’s not weird at all for me to dress up. I got to dress up 2 days in a row, too! The day before Halloween we had our children’s party, so I dressed up as a good fairy, then on Halloween day I dressed up as a bad fairy. Everyone loved it. The teen librarian dressed up as Lady Macbeth, complete with blood on her hands – it was awesome. I can’t wait to get the pictures done!
