Word of the Week: Candy Bar Theory — Weighing the worth of something you want to buy (but don’t need) vs. an equal worth of candy bars. Works in your favor every time, since you can argue that instead of buying fatty sweets, you are doing yourself a favor. Does not work if you continue to eat candy.
Halloween is just around the corner…three days & counting…so if you haven’t yet decided on a costume, this quiz should help:
Your Halloween Costume Should Be Catwoman |
 Eerily, that fits somehow! |
A bumble bee? Really? I know I’m round but I would so have been cat woman and just let my belly stick right out there. Bumble bees are not sexy. :-(
I want to be a romance novel cover heroine in trouble. I can have my big baby belly with a dress cut up to the top of my thigh and the bodice falling down over my boobs and my hair blowing in the breeze and never getting tangled.
Ugh! I did the quiz twice. First I got Candy Corn….uh, don’t think so. Second time I got the bumble bee. Sorry, but no. I was a bumble bee years ago, back when I took dance class. I was 5.
Nope I have something much better in mind.
If I had the body to be cat woman or wonder woman I would….sadly that body is no longer…so…. I opted for a construction worker, got the boots, tool belt, (arrrh) helmet and quilted shirt and I am good to go, besides its a comfy outfit for the workday. Maisey if you have the belly just paint it to look like a Pumpkin and your good to go…. Whatcha gonna be Laura HUH HUH HUH?????
It said I should be catwoman… but my costume is already made – Officer Frisky! I guess I could add cat ears and a tail to the hot cop outfit!!!!
I luv the pregnant belly as jack-o-lantern idea!
And did I not get cat woman last year? Not that it’s not suitable, I’m just thinking I may be more predictable than I thought.
Welcome to The Dungeon, Miranda! I finally get to use my lure on a newbie
(Did it work? 
)
Oh yes – I love cookies AND dancing storm troopers!
(I’m not really sure how to add a gif to the comments, am I overthinking it?)
I’m just wearing black pants and an orange long sleeved tee with TRICK OR TREAT written in black glitter across the front.
Bzzz Bzzz – another Bumblee Bee here!
Hey Heidi I have a word of the week….Tramp Stamp. I have no idea what it is. I think it’s some kind of tatoo?????
Tattoo on the lower back, Jennifer. Particularly hot if the girl that has one has pants that are too low and too tight, creating a ‘muffin top’ effect.
Popular ‘Tramp Stamps’ include: the words ‘all aboard’, some kind of tribal design, something that looks like custom detailing from a tricked out Honda Civic and a target with a bullseye.
(do not ask)
No, I don’t have one.
I got a weird answer.
Your Halloween Costume Should Be Elvis
Eerily, that fits somehow!
Except for the possibility of a Hween tee, I doubt I’ll be dressing up at all this year. Only because I put away all my costumey stuff after last year & am too lazy to dig it out again. So let’s just pretend I could actually pull off that Catwoman look & go with that.
Oooh, good one, Jennifer. I love tramp stamps, & if I weren’t such a total wuss, I’d probably have one myself already.
Since we’re defining the term now, I couldn’t resist looking up a couple things:

)

A fave I saw recently was on an episode of My Name is Earl. A biker chick had “Wanna Ride?” tattooed on her lower back.
Apparently, no matter what our quiz results are, we’re all getting, “Eerily, that fits somehow!” *snork*
HAHAHAHA!! Love the wiki article. So intellectual! Associated with sexual promiscuity…but what about when it’s a bible verse?
I can see it now…you lean over in the pew at church to pick your bible up and your top rides up and your low rise jeans go down, showing your thong and tramp stamp…The blue hair behind you is mortified and ready to comment…but what? 1 Corinthians 13? Well, that’s okay then.
My tramp stamp would be the hottest love scene I could find in one of the romances I have…maybe something of Heidi’s? Quality reading for my husband.
Oh, but how many candy bars, or in my case, lattes and romance novels, could I buy instead of a tattoo? I think I’d rather have the lattes and romance novels…
Well I was going to be a pimpette and carry a teddy bear, but can’t find the dang costume in my size. So should it NOT rain (although the one weather man with the best track record for being right says it’s looking like yes it will) I guess I’ll wear my good ol witch costume that some people seem to think fits.
And no tramp stamp for me.
I should be a Scary Bunny. I have no idea how they got that given my answers, but I’ll go with it. Maybe in a Monty Python kind-of way…
but I don’t wanta be a candy corn….I absolutely hate candy corn…..I am stickin with my construction worker.
I got catwoman also!…not gonna happen…gonna be the witch that i always have been! I wore my coolghoul hat today with the orange pumpkin shirt to work today…the same for tonight..gonna go trick or treating at my sons college..they open the halls and each floor of every hall is different…taking the girly to get our haul! LOL
I already have my tramp stamp picked out. Well, whittled down to three choices. But again…
That’s my story, Laura…I keep my hat & broom handy every day, but only on Halloween does anyone mention it being a costume.
Pam~ Definitely a Monty Python bunny. Or Happy Bunny. He’s all snarky & even comes in a vamp version sometimes. I would *love* to be Happy Bunny for Halloween. There are a few of his sayings I’d love to have as tramp stamps, too, come to think of it.
Barb~ I’m not much for candy corn, either, but have you seen all the neat gourmet flavors they’re coming out with these days. Not your plain, old white/orange/yellow sugar-flavored stuff, that’s for sure!
I got a bumblebee…can’t see it.
Well I’m only called a witch on Halloween the rest of the year they call me the word the rhymes with it and starts with the second letter of the alphabet and capitalized as well.
I think people often mistake directness and bitchiness
hmmmm…directness? I like that. Directing people to do my evil bidding. Yeah.
Hey, I have a tramp stamp! I have Celtic scrollwork with jeweled points across my lower back. I got it back in ‘88 though along with my celtic cross and chain on one hip with overlapping hearts and shamrocks on the other.
Since my ink predates the craze, I consdier myself a trend setter. LOL
I keep saying I want a tattoo but I can never make up my mind what I want.
If it predates the craze, Grace, I think you even get to bypass the terminology of tramp stamp, which, acording to wiki, is from the 90’s.
I’m gonna get this quote, in like, medieval script, on my lower back “But it was what hung between those legs that held her rapt attention”
Both as a conversation starter, at parties or church or whatever, and to further convince Mistress Heidi that I *might* be a crazy stalker.
I was also going to ask where that quote was from, but I’m starting to get a sinking suspicion…that I should know…& that I maybe even…wrote it myself?
Would that be the case? 
Mistress Heidi, you just might be correct!
