This week it's all about Abbie & we begin Halloween(Fest)

I have two major goals in my quest to be a grown up, the first is to get a job that I love and the second is to over decorate my (bazillion dollar) house during major holidays.

I'm working on it (both the loving job AND the cheesy decorations), this year being the year I bought a crap load of purple lights and stuck them up all over the outside of the house. (Of course my across the street neighbors have been in some kind of 3rd grade copy cat war, I buy paper spiders they buy paper spiders, I buy a smashed witch for the garage, they buy a smashed witch for their garage, I buy a crap load of purple lights...last night I peeked out the window and saw their... crap load of purple lights.)

Anyway, Halloween takes preparation and provides for creativity (lots and lots of creativity) and in San Diego, Halloween provides for AMPLE celebration opportunities. We're gonna start all things Halloween this week (yep, bust out your sexy costumes, dress like the tart you've always wanted to be and call it a night). You've only got so much longer to walk the long walk in Balboa Park or check in at the Haunted Hotel in downtown (but will you check out? oooooooo).

Also this week: All about Abbie! Abbie is a writer/ future contributor who will be sharing her thoughts about love and relationships in a weekly feature for My San Diego... Your San Diego. This week Abbie will tell us all about her San Diego (Wednesday) and we'll learn more about her during the week. Look for her article next Monday!

On a more personl note, I'm feeling less "ooo, snarky, snarky, witty comment about San Diego" this week then I have in the past. I don't know if it's because Fall is here, or maybe because my house is a mess, but my brain has been wandering the last few days, so bear with me.

On to the show...
