Eve of the Eve of Hallows' Eve

Who knew this was a thing? But yes, my work team and I are definitely focused on the Eve of Hallows' Eve because tomorrow is our last day in the office for the week and we have to celebrate Halloween a day early!

No spoilers. Just know I had to work a few connections to get part of my costume. And then, naturally, count on Amazon for the rest! Hubby rolled his eyes pretty heavily when I had him take a photo of me in costume last night. He just doesn't get how fun Marketing people can be!

Of course in the back of my mind, I've already moved on to what sort of costume or "accents" can help my twin sister and I when we perform our annual Opening Act this weekend? Well, I had a mission to find one thing (times 2 that is) and failed. The Halloween shelves are mostly empty and, facing them on the opposite side of the aisle, are Christmas items already!!

I get that people turn to my favorite holiday as early as they can. But, since Jim golfed this afternoon, I can't quite wrap my head around merchandising something that is 2 holidays away.

Also, that's why I'm a writer for a living and not a numbers gal.

And, although there was slim pickings, I did manage to get some treats in case any ghosts, goblins, ghouls, princesses or dinosaurs show up on our doorstep Friday.  Like Motel 6, we'll leave the light on!
