Halloween: Nailed it.

It was a dark and stormy night on Halloween Eve... The husband had had a long day at work... and was getting home late.... close to the witching hour... Since it was the night of the ghostly apparitions... I decided to give him a little SURPRISE ATTACK FRIGHT when he got home.

So I hid in the cupboard.

With a sheet on my head.

Waiting in the cupboard.

Several minutes pass.

Several more minutes pass.

Message Husband: "oh Hey! let me know when you are nearly home so that I can "heat up some dinner" (yeah, right)... tee hee hee"
Husband: "Am just on the way up the hill - will be home soon!"

with a sheet on my head]

(I'd just like to mention: I'm 28.)

More minutes pass.

"Lol! it's gonna be SO great!"

More minutes pass.

Several more minutes pass.

And here is my GRAND MOMENT!


(there was a little snippet before this that I had to cut - all it was, was me saying 
"Husband attack - I'm under a sheet" But, I think it's pretty self explanatory. Lol.)

Surprise attack husband from out a cupboard on Halloween with a sheet over my head.
I win at being a wife.

Me: YOU SEE!! I knew you were getting home so late from work and I wanted to LIFT your little spirits by BEING a little spirit! See what I did there?! BOOM!
Husband: Hahahahaha! Don't you mean... BOO! mmm ?!
Self: No. 

But good try though.


To sum up: I take my role as "household entertainer" very seriously.

JOIN ME ON MY ADVENTURES!

the end.

PS. I cannot WAIT to have children. 
I'm gonna HALOWEEN-THEM so hard they won't sleep for a week.

Halloweeeeeeen night  - it's never been a huge thing in South Africa, but somehow being in London right now - I totally feel like I have missed a massive opportunity to dress up. Am pretty gutted about it.

Oh well, next year.

Happy Halloween

On Friday night when i got back from gym, I developed a severe neck pain. i took a break from gym yesterday but it still is pretty painful today and kind of makes me creak my neck out like a dyslexic meerkat. Anyway this new horrid condition plus the (obnoxious) halloween costumes that we have been made to wear the entire month have resulted in this:

a perfect little halloween treat.
im glad that worked out so well.


trick or treat
