Now I'm on a mission to make a Halloween costume that meets these criteria.
- Inexpensive. I am not spending $40 for a costume that I will wear once. I don't go to Halloween parties and, other than the doctor's office and work, I probably won't wear it again.
- Something I can easily change into in the rest room at the doctor's office or, that I can wear while I drive to her office
And the most important criteria ...
- Won't get me kicked out of the Outpatient area of the hospital.
While bemuses stares and giggles are acceptable, having security called is not. Therefore, the suggestion of going as a witch is kind of out. I thought about going as Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I have the hat. It was a Christmas present from a friend one year. I could use a broom handle as a walking stick and making a long cloak out of black fabric wouldn't be that hard. There are patterns to make the knights' costumes from this movie so perhaps there is a pattern to make the cloak.
So far, the suggestions have been to go as a teapot, a panda or a crayon. I've seen the crayon sewing patterns. While that is a fantastic idea, in the end, I think it will be too expensive.
Then, I was in Target and walked by the lingerie department. Christmas gift ideas are out and they had a rack of these.
I think there's potential here.
Beverage: Huckleberry tea

ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm almost positive we have the same doctor since mine is Dr. Francis, too. Sure, there's the issue of us being on different coasts. A minor detail.
Well, my Dr. Francis is available on Wednesday - Friday. She could see you on Monday and Tuesday and then fly to Chicago Tuesday night. It wouldn't be the weirdest commute I've ever heard of.
