10. I HATE to dress up.
9. Sugar makes kids crazy...and they are already crazy enough!
8. Kids, girls especially wear entirely inappropriate outfits, and I have to fight dress code violations all day at school.
7. I don't like parties. A few close friends getting together for dinner and games or a movie is a blast. Making small talk at a party with someone you don't know sucks.
6. I HATE to dress up.
5. I get sad to see old, moldy Jack O'lanterns on the side of people's houses in the days following. And, pumpkin guts are gross. I don't want to see them or smell them all over my neighborhood.
4. Dead things should stay dead. (To quote my sister-in-law, H.) A holiday that compels people to dress up like zombies, or fake horrendous injuries is not cool in my book.
3. Toilet paper, shaving cream, and eggs belong inside houses, not ON houses.
2. I HATE to dress up.
And the number one reason I hate Halloween...
1. I do not enjoy being scared. I don't watch scary movies, I don't read scary books. I have an overactive imagination. I don't enjoy it while it's happening, and I really don't enjoy the nightmares afterwards. My first real "date" in high school was to go see the movie "Seven" with Brad Pitt, and then we went to a Haunted House. Man, I must have liked that guy! (And, no, Leah, if you don't remember who I went with, I'm sure not going to remind you...it was not one of my finer moments! I'm afraid you'll look him up in your yearbook and then you'll die laughing. I don't want to be the one responsible for leaving your kids without their mom. That "relationship" did not last very long at all. A few weeks and I hated him... A hint: he was on the newspaper staff with me, and staying at his house until 4a.m. one weekend is what made my mom finally give me a curfew senior year.)

Chatting with people you don't know at a party can be REALLY fun if you've had the punch... enough said on THAT matter...
I, also, don't enjoy scary movies. My overactive imagination has GOT to be more overactive than yours. It's really rather sad, actually!
However, I LOVE the opportunity to dress up and am already scoping out Halloween costumes for next year. If Dan wasn't such a baby, he'd agree to let us go as the 50's Prom Queen and King (google 50's prom couple and check it out....ADORABLE/HILARIOUS!). I would do almost anything for the chance to wear a fluffy pale pink dress and do my hair and wear make-up for Halloween. LOL!!!
I agree about pumpkin guts. BLECK. The smell is enough to gag a person. I make Dan and the kids deal with the guts and then I'll carve the pumpkin. Ha! slave labor... gotta love it.
josh C (better leave last names out of it!), right? or no? I can't believe you knew I was going to ask, but that's the first name that came to mind!
Kristina, you're fired! You promised three entries this weekend! LOL!!
