Something wicked this way comes.

Have you decided on your halloween costume yet? If not, here are some helpful ideas for you, your canine, and baby.

First, some pictures stolen from my favorite obsession, Pinterest:

Love that the dog is dressed up like this guy.

Rainbow Brite and Twink.

The A Team

How adorable is this little girl?

In case your were wondering, my roommate's pup Finnleigh is still deciding too. 

Frog, pumpkin or bumble bee?

And lastly, some personal highlights from  over the past few years.  

My friends are very creative and quite silly; I hope they inspire you.

Charlie Brown, Elmo, and Big Bird.

Inspector Gadget's helicopter actually worked.  

He practiced his french accent for weeks.

We are the members of the All-American League. We come from cities, near and far.

The Spice Girls. 

The KFC guy was not only funny, but also delicious.

This year, I'm attending the 90s prom hosted by FNX.  

I'm thinking of going as Janet Jackson in Rhythm Nation.  

I just have to work on the moves. What ideas are you considering?

"Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is." ~ German Proverb

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face... The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it... You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Last week, Finnleigh took a cue from Eleanor Roosevelt and faced her fears. That's right. She took on the evil-haunted-mobile-smiley-balloon. (You may recall that a balloon is haunting my bathroom.)



“Many of our fears are tissue paper thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them” — Brendan Francis

She was scared at first. But she slowly reached out and poked that creepy balloon in the mouth. Face to face. Mano a mano. Errr. Paw.

Finnleigh's bravery is an inspiration.

It is spring. And a new month. Not to mention, 2011 is your bitch.

Why not face one of your fears this week? Pick one. Take it down. And tell us about it. I'll do the same.

It can be a small little fear, or something huge and awful that has plagued you for years. Like spiders. Or alien abductions. (Not that I would know anything about fearing aliens...)

Don't be scared. We've got your back. That's what wolfpacks are for...
