Halloween Costumes For Lazy Redheads

Today I am thankful that I have red hair and an enormous wardrobe; it makes Halloween easier.

Halloween is next week.

This is the costume I originally chose.

I own the dress. I own the shoes. I have many gold belts.

I have seashell necklaces, lots of pearls and a golden girdle. I have lots of cute little cupid pins and bracelets.

And, originally Aphrodite was a redhead, so I wouldn't have to mess with changing my hair.

Oh, but there is one problem. I dress like this in June sans the head-dress. People won't know it is a costume.

Maybe I should do something a little different.

Hmmmm.......

If I don't want to buy another outfit, I could always go as the Black Widow.

But then, I dress like that most of the time (without the guns Black Widow is known to carry). I am said to be a Libertarian gun nut. So people won't know it is a costume either.

Maybe I should try a little harder.

How about Poison Ivy?

I just need to straighten my hair and rip apart the fake ivy in my living room to glue on a dress and I'm ready to go.

Hmmmm......I hang out with conservative politicians. Showing off my boobs is a no-no. They hate the green movement, global warming, energy rate-hike conspiracy. I don't want to get people talking.

I'd better pass.

Crud....what now.

Hmmmm.......

You know, maybe I could go as Medusa.

I think I have a similiar dress. I can glue little plastic snakes to barrettes and stick them in my hair.

This may be the winner.

I have lots of plastic snakes as the neighbor boy likes to hide them in my garden to scare the heck out of this old lady.

Gotta love little kids.

Besides, it would be fun to chose to be a woman who can turn all the men around her into stone.

I love it!

Medusa it is (unless I donated the dress).

Thanks for helping me.

Happy Halloween.

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing? I imagine they sing songs like this. I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call but wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again. I probably should document this somewhere. My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis. She is his cousin. I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law. She wanted me to plan interventions. This happened with a baby shower. It also happened with a wedding. The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car). I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004. We ran into her at a Wal-mart in 2005 and my keys went mi

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe. It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house. I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling. I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here. It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve. ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb. The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear. Fear that he won't honor his financial

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much. People change over the course of their lives. Healthy people grow. Unhealthy people either stay static or regress. So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies. If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors. I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories. From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory. A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory. When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP. My ex is a ESTP and when he is stressed out
