When I was young, one of my favorite pretend pastimes was to pretend to be a mermaid. This usually took place in the pool at the local YMCA, but I'm sure I wasn't alone in this game of pretend. This is a reason I am surprised that I have never before been a mermaid for Halloween. I guess that I can chalk that up to growing up in North Idaho, where Halloween costumes usually involved bundles and layering. Now that I am in a warmer climate, I can comfortably wear less. (Especially because the party I'm attending is two houses away...) Are you doing anything fun this weekend?
