The Ghosts of FringeFamily Past

FringeLovers

I know that some of you have seen these already, but today I’m reflecting on where I’ve been and what I’ve become.

FringeGirl 2007

Once I was full of good ideas and creativity.  One electrified look from FringeMan would make my hair stand on end and turn green.

To clarify, I wouldn’t turn green, just my hair.

But now I’m left with only frizz and gray.

FringeMan 2007

There are no electrified looks from FringeMan, because he can’t see me through those long locks, dreadlocks.

FringeKid 2007

At one time I could convince my child that she was a cat.

FringeBoy 2007

I nearly talked FringeBoy into coming back from the dark side.

But….

FringeGirl 2008

something happened to me.

My hair grew in.

I became a hardened, almost plastic woman.

FringeKid 2008

I fear for my sweet babies.

I’ve seen the same plastic look on my darling little angel.

FringeBoy 2008

This year I’m left with nothing.

FringePup 2008

I cannot even think up a costume that my dog will wear.

I think I lost all my zeal when I promised not to steal candy from children’s goody bags.

Chocolate is why I dressed up.

Chocolate is why I went door to door in a plastic mask that cut my oxygen supply so much that I became terribly dizzy.

I’d be willing to pass out in the middle of the street for a Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup.

I’d be willing to humiliate myself in costumes that no self-respecting woman would wear for a 3 Musketeer.

This year there is no costume.

There is nothing but a vow NOT to eat chocolate.

Excuse me while I go mourn my candy.

Enjoy the weekend and eat a Snickers for me, will ya?
