Halloween Hijinks

Traditional Holiday Cheek Tattoo

Some people have the idea that my work is all fun and games. Probably because I do a lot of updates like this one. ;-)

The employees on the second floor of our building were all invited to participate in Halloween activities today and I think most of them are. It’s pretty darn festive around here!

Of course, we’re decorated to the gills. Flashing skulls, graveyard scenes, screaming and howling devices, old movies playing on the wall, cobwebs, etc. abound. Most of the front area of our department and the training room are done up.

First activity this morning was a food contest. People were pretty creative and there’s some really good stuff in there for our potluck. I think some people are running around now to do the costume judging contest. I’ve seen a zombie, a witch, a guy in drag, a garden gnome, a hippie and Billy Idol wandering the halls. They guy in drag bought brand new high heels that he’s giving away...they were just “that” much too big for me. Dang it.

There’s so much food, or should I say, there are so many desserts! I counted and got to 26.

Here’s a partial listing of what we’re stuffing ourselves with today:

Chips and homemade salsa
Spinach Dip
7 Layer Dip
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Two different Pasta Salads
Baked Beans
Shredded Pork
Spanish Rice
Green Bean Casserole
Three different Graveyard cakes
Sweet Potato Pie (which is delish!)
Cupcakes galore
Cookies galore
Mini Ghost Cakes
Bunch of other cakes
Pumpkin Bars
Rice Krispie Treats
Assorted Candy

Good thing we’re going bowling this afternoon so we can work some of the food off.
