what is white on rice, anyway? that was my aunt sandy’s guess as to what randy was for halloween. kelly guessed that he was a slug.
randy was… A SALT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON.
i think he had the idea for a long time, and he got sidetracked briefly when bev really wanted him to be salt to her pepper, but somehow he managed to get somebody to make that great big white thing, which was…a grain of salt. he carried around his box of morton salt, even though i suggested more than once that he make a morton salt costume, which would have been easier to figure out.
he won the people’s choice best costume award because i think he went up to everybody and told them what he was, and everybody really always loves randy’s costumes, no matter how obscure or odd they may be, no matter if he did look like a big marshmallow…
but right now, randy is in line for the OPRAH WINFREY SHOW. he has a reserved place in line, because he donated some money to some charity on barbra streisand’s website, and when you donated you got a chance to wine the tix to see barbra on the oprah show, and RANDY WON! when he called me on tuesday he was fairly hysterical about it, but i just thought he’d be one of a hundred people who won. but no, he seemed to be the lone winner, and there certainly is a chance he’ll get to meet barbra. he took his mother with him, and she was also hysterical because she loves oprah and randy has been trying to get her a ticket to see the show for years, but the line is always busy.
right now, waiting in line. as soon as he tells me how it went, i’ll let you know. it airs next thursday. he must be very, very excited right now. his mom bought a new purse for the occasion.
halloween is finally leaving my house, except today i found a random eyeball on the floor. we have a few plastic eyeballs and i washed them off to put in the punch but i forgot, and they must have rolled around all over. i keep finding other random things – a halloween coaster i missed, a halloween snow globe – then there’s the odd collection of costume parts, including a pair of black women’s stretchy shorts, a maid’s feather duster, some googly eyeglasses, a corncob pipe…i guess i’ll just put all the stuff into the big tub of costume things, unless anybody claims any of the stuff and actually comes over and gets it.
ok then, more later,
mrs. wednesday grace.
