YOU think of a creative title.

We're going to Disney World soon for the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party.  It'll be a first for us.   I've never been more excited about something in my whole life.

Sadly, that last statement is almost true.  

Piper will be going dressed as a bumble bee and I will be a lady bug.   When I say I'll be a lady bug, I mean I'll have a headband with antenna glued to them and wings strapped to my back.   ...In Disney World.  ...A place where people don't understand personal space.  Or deodorant.  In fact, if it goes well I might end up wearing these wings every time I go and just twirl around a lot.  It seems like the best way to keep them out of my sacred personal space.

I don't like people in my personal space, did you know?  

...Unless it's Carey.
...Or Piper.
...Or really any family member.

Well, I'd rather Lindsay didn't touch me, but that's a story for another day.

And while we're on the subject.. Am I the only person who thinks it's rude for a perfect stranger to touch a baby?  I probably am but it's really starting to irritate me.   Like for example, a really young girl at Rack Room suddenly appeared in front of Piper's stroller and proceeded to hold her hands, stroke her face and rub her head.  She almost let Piper pull her finger to her mouth for gravy's sake!  I still don't know what I would have done if she'd have asked to hold her.

I'm sorry, friends.  Call me over protective and crazy but it's flu season.

And everybody seems to have some kind of virus right now.

And I don't know that you're not one of those crazy... I mean misguided... I mean ill-informed people who doesn't get immunized and might infect my not-old-enough-for-all-her-shots-baby with some deadly but preventable disease. (I did. I said it.)

And let's not even mention that I have no idea where she or her hands have been.  I can only assume, AT BEST, they've been in shoes that loads of people's funky feet have been in.  At worst...   I can't.  I just can't think about that.  

Sorry, I have to go take a shower now.  Good day to you.

I said good day.

  1. I have to say, I enjoyed this and I think you know why...well minus the fact I am the ONLY family member who is not allowed to come into your personal space. People will think I'm gross or something and I not....no really I'm not.
