Do you think it would be offensive for me to be Elizabeth Smart for Halloween?
All I need is a blond wig, sensible flat-heel white pumps (with bow), and a generic floral-print Laura Ashley dress, with white lace around the collar so it looks like I stuck my head through a paper doily.

Last year for Halloween Patrick & I were altar boy and priest, respectively. I was happy with the idea because we were cutely themed (if politically incorrect) and we didn’t run into any other couples in the same costume, though I did hear later there was another floating around Salt Lake.

So, New York was awesome. It was one of my best vacations ever. Maybe because I needed it so badly.
I feel kind of like a heel though, because I didn’t tell any of my friends in the city that I was coming. Or that I was in town. Or that I was there and left. [...]

Baby, I’m drunk. Let me be bossy.—Jessica Simpson to Nick Lachey on MTV’s Newlyweds.
I need to try that with Patrick.

Thanks to Aaron for capturing a great description of Zionide (”Rationalizing myself back to sanity”) from one of my previous posts. He extracted it some time ago, and I liked it so much I made it my new sub-head.
