This is my costume. I cannot express how much I hate this picture - the costume is SLIGHTLY too big and in the process makes me seem WAYYYY bigger than I am - which is ultra depressing. Plus, the black tights make my left calf look INSANELY huge, which it isn't. It's actually, in reality, about an inch smaller around than my right leg (which is mostly because of the post-thrombotic syndrome I have left over from my blood clots nearly 2 years ago).
I look in the mirror and I don't see a girl that big - yea, big, but not like that. So weird.
Anyway, excuse the look on my face - it was taken around 9 a.m. after I had already been up for almost 3 hours getting ready.
On the bright side - our department at work won the hospital-wide halloween costume contest. "most creative" I think - maybe even "most participants" (we must have won that one b/c Health Records didn't win and they have 3 times the staff as us and many were dressed up). We all dressed up as Bees. Initially they were going as Staff Infection, but b/c I had already bought a Bee costume, the idea generated into bees. So there was a "Bee-Witched", "Spelling Bee", "Bee-Loved", "Queen Bee" etc. Pretty nifty! Though our picture was taken for the hospital newsletter while I was moving the car :S So I'm not in the picture
