HARPY HOOOOOOOOWLEEEEEEEN!!!!!

A funny thing happened on the way to the thrift store...

Actually, it all started yesterday, when I realized that Halloween was in three days, and I didn't have a costume. And not only did I not have a costume, I didn't have any ideas for a costume. Only one solution was available. Our friendly local thrift store! which has remained friendly only because, I suspect, the employees only speak Spanish, and can't understand what I'm shouting.
So anyway, Mom and I are at the thrift store with ten minutes to choose a costume before we have to leave for Literary Club. We rummage through the racks, coming up with vague ideas and adding them to our mental shopping cart with the red plastic seat that kids can sit on, but only if they're four years old and under, and of course you can't leave them alone for an instant cause then the cart tips over, and meanwhile Big Sibling is jumping on the rail in the back of the cart for a scooter ride.
Right... um... my costume. OK. We did come up with some pretty good ideas. Like the white suit that would have been perfect for one of those people that take the crazy people away. Or the shimmery coat that would have made a beautiful angel on acid. And then, we found some pretty blue velveteen pillow cases. "Perfect!" I said. "I'll be the Whether Woman for Halloween!" All we'd have to do would be cut head and arm holes in the pillow cases, get a bunch of stuff to sew on, (like clouds, lightning bolts, etc, etc, and so forth) and a big tie-dye question mark for the front. And a wacky hat. And shoes too, of course. And we only had a day and two halves to make it. So, for some odd reason, I gave it up. I'm not sure why, I can't remember.
Instead I'm going to be half-and-half. Not the milk, idiot. Half of me is going to be right brained, and the other half will be left brained. I'm gonna cut two outfits in half and sew 'em together.

Here's hoping your Halloween costume gathering was easier than mine!
and have a HARPY HOWLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!

The Whether Woman
Ruler of all that's Good/Evil
