Back to School and Early Halloween

Posted by Mary McCarthy Aug 4, 2009

Nothing like going into a big box retailer to make you feel like you're late for something! Back to school shopping apparently happens earlier in the summer than I ever remember to do it- I'm always the one scrambling around to find the black and white sold-out composition books, or making my kid use a Polly Pocket folder when they really wanted a Harry Potter folder, because THOSE sold out in JUNE!

I've already seen Halloween decorations in the store- and I am excited about the beginning of the Halloween season. It's my favorite! I just reached 200 articles for Suite 101 this month (woohoo!) and the bulk of them have been Halloween articles. I even started my own Halloween website, and published a Halloween book! (of course, this has left me with little energy for Halloween decorating this year and I'm scared the neighborhood kids will be disappointed. Well, I'm sure I'll throw SOMETHING together!)

Now, what am I going to be for Halloween?!
