In the spirit of team building, I was encouraged to dress up today for the office Halloween contest. Imagine my surprise when I show up and am the ONLY one in costume at 9 am. The vote wasn't until 3 pm and the other 4 ladies who participated changed into their costumes right before, had their picture taken and then changed out of their costumes. I call that cheating. While my getup is funny on it's own, it might be helpful for me to explain that I was actually dressed up as a particular person. We have a dock builder (who I have dealt with on numerous occasions in enforcement) who always wears a cowboy hat, a LARGE belt buckle, a plaid flannel shirt and alligator cowboy boots. I was unable to wear my ostrich boots as part of the outfit due to my feet swelling (not for lack of trying this morning I assure you) so I had to settle for John's boots instead. The outfit would have been pretty comfy if the horns on my "steer" belt buckle didn't keep poking me in the stomach. I'll let you know if Emmaline and I win!
