As an off-duty star trek communications officer; I wore a red long sleeved shirt with gold insignia paired with black pants. So I still looked like a crew member -- just a more laid back one. (I was minus the weaponry and the urge to 'boldly go' & explore and all that. : )) My brother dressed as Spock: Costume, weapons, wig, eyebrows, ears and all!
We had lots of (geeky) fun!
The photos should materialize later this month and a few of them might make it onto our Christmas cards. ; )
Dear Sisiotta, I'm the one who needs to apologize to you for not rating sooner! (I've been on quite the candy bender and have absolutely shirked my swap-bot duties.) This Halloween I was a skeleton, an orange M&M and an off duty star trek communications officer -- but not all at the same time, of course! (ha ha) Your package was so rare and lovely that I'm doing something that I've never done before....... I'M GIVING YOU A HEART. Please forgive me Sisiotta for being such a slow rater.
Thank you for the profile compliment -- it's nice to be appreciated! You sound like quite a baker. My kitchen most of the time wishes I would just stay out of it! I realize after reading your profile that I haven't added a thing about food on mine! (I'm adding it now)
I hope that the partner sending to you takes note of your likes and sends you bunches of Halloween cupcake papers and Halloween theme sugar decos and sprinkles! Talk to you soon!
