I Predict--VICTORY!!!!!!!!!

I don't mean to brag, and I know I haven't blogged in a while, but I did win the best costume award at the Halloween party last Friday. Now sure, it was a small party of primarily English teachers, and it was the equivalent of winning the "pork queen" title in a small Midwestern town, but it was a victory nonetheless. When I get the video, which does the costume justice, I will post it, but for now, I will post a couple of pictures here.

Notes of Pride:

• The whole thing collapsed to fit in my car and assembled in minutes.


• I ran a light from the strand into the crystal ball to light it up.


• I wrote my own fortunes that dropped from the platform into the slot.


• I painted eyes on my eyelids for an authentic plastic, creepy look (shown in photo).


• The lights were activated by a start button and played a creepy song.


• I could actually move around pretty well, even in the booth.
