i promise i have more pictures than just of amy and jim…but they looked SO FUNNY!\u00a0 plus they kept dancing around like hillbillies, and amy kept talking with her hillbilly accent.<\/p>\n

here is darling Ruth, 91 years young, with her mask.\u00a0 she pushed her walker around the table and loaded her plate with food, setting it on the little seat part of the walker.\u00a0 when she got to the far side of the table she got stuck by the pet fountain blocking her path, so i got some people to help me push the table out.\u00a0 but then she made her way all the way around and got stuck again, so more table pushing.\u00a0 luckily the candles didn’t tip over and ignite anything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

john and katie, justin bieber and…well, a sexy wounded schoolgirl.\u00a0 katie was talking about who she was planning to be, somebody dead, but then it was too much trouble.\u00a0 she’d have given our sexy costume winner a run for the money if she’d gotten to the party a little earlier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

kim and jasmin, who never knows what she’s going to be then always managed to come up with something good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

here’s cute jeromy, randy’s friend, who came despite randy not being there.\u00a0 he did know a couple of people at the party, and somebody said he could have won the chicken prize…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

…but then he zipped up his hood and MAN was that effective!\u00a0 he really couldn’t keep it up, though; it was even worse than the big rubber masks that other people wore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

susan was a spectacular aphrodite, with a beaded cap and gold feathers, but by this point in the evening she’d pared it all down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

debi iams wore a funny fat that twitched back and forth when she pressed a button.\u00a0 this year i decided i wanted to announce everybody, so that people could thoroughly look at all the costumes, and she twitched her hat so everybody could see.\u00a0 this was good, but it was a drag doing all that announcing – we used the karoake microphone and it wasn’t loud enough, plus it took too long.\u00a0 next year, no announcements.<\/p>\n

we need to do like they did in a recent hilarious episode of “the office” – dwight bellowed the name of each guest as they arrived at a party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

jim patton, looking very dapper as some kind of old-fashioned guy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

fred and jonell baskett, who arrived late – but they had been to another party and were going to another one, plus they haven’t been to one of our parties for a few years.\u00a0 i’m glad they stopped by.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

lara, sexiest costume, and her friend gail.\u00a0 how is it possible that lara is single?\u00a0 not only is she beautiful, she’s a smart doctor and a really nice person, plus she always wears fabulous shoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

on the right is beverly ryan who should have won a prize!\u00a0 i didn’t realize the fabulousness of her costume til later in the night, after the prizes had been awarded.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

karen, who was really funny, but once again, a costume that wasn’t so easy to maneuver in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

tim and gena, who arrived kind of late and looked cute as usual.\u00a0 people want him to come back as the pillsbury dough boy again, though…that’s the single only time that there’s been a request for a repeat costume.\u00a0 we might even get aunt sandy to come back to a party if he wears that one again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

two flappers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

this is my absolute favorite picture, and i think i’m going to print it out and hang it up today.\u00a0 that would be quite an achievement, since i just printed a few photos from last year about a week ago and put them up.\u00a0 it looks like lara is the devil mom and amy is her hillbilly daughter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

we always have at least a coupla nuns.\u00a0 jasmin with lenore, both very authentic-looking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

bill castor, who is a TROOPER – he and linda flew in from san francisco and came right to the party!\u00a0 i had told them that they could do it, but i wasn’t sure that they would since it seemed they’d be kinda tired after being in san francisco plus the long flight, but they did come, although not in costume..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

katie, john, and jeromy.\u00a0 it was so dark in the house plus i was so distracted, i didn’t even notice that john was wearing a wig!\u00a0 no, his real hair is not that shiny.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

shirene is in a play so she came really late…she played a 70 year-old in the play and made a really quick change into her sexy Candy Corn outfit.\u00a0 this is why i usually have two sexiest costume awards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

linda, shirene, and her date, mark, who seemed like a very nice guy.\u00a0 i know this is the only year that linda won’t be in costume!\u00a0 i wanted to get a picture of mark with mollie, who was sitting at his feet for a long time as he tried to eat a little food in peace.\u00a0 at this point most of the eating was over, so mollie was getting desperate to find people who still had food.\u00a0 “I only have a brownie!” he said plaintively to her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and that’s it…but i know i’m missing photos of a few people, like jim and nan lieneke.\u00a0 we gave nan BEST COSTUME, even though she was just dressed like a cardinal fan – we did it to make a point about how awesome it was that the cards won the series.\u00a0 jim looked really good too; also dressed like some kind of old-timey soldier.\u00a0 damn, maybe somebody else has photos of them.\u00a0 i also didn’t get a picture of grace and pj nanavati, who came to the party for the very first time this year.\u00a0 he was a cowboy and she wore some fancy long dress and a luxurious black velvet cape.\u00a0 plus kevin brown and his lovely wife lola came to the party for the first time, even though they had to have been exhausted from having their own party the night before.\u00a0 she was dressed in a fabulous medieval costume, and i’m sorry i don’t have a photo of her.<\/p>\n

we always invite all the neighbors in the lane but only one or two have shown up.\u00a0 this year, in addition to our neighbor chris, mary loken showed up, but only briefly – she’s been to our parties very briefly every year.\u00a0 she comes in, wearing a costume, circles the table and gets lots of food, and then i’m pretty sure she just leaves.\u00a0 so she goes to a lot of trouble getting dressed up to get some of my delicious party food.\u00a0 last year she stayed a while because she knew somebody, but maybe that person hadn’t arrived yet this year when mary showed up.<\/p>\n

our neighbors ted and jean smith came for a while – ted had walked by the other day and told kevin they were thinking of coming, and ted says kevin told him that “only diehard people wear costumes.”\u00a0 i thought this was pretty funny.\u00a0 maybe, if we have the party enough years, we can lure more of our neighbors in.<\/p>\n

this morning kevin had taken down quite a few decorations, a very good thing to wake up to.<\/p>\n

ok then, it’s NOVEMBER already,<\/p>\n
