So my Willa girl's turning 8 on the 14th and I finally got my act together this year to put together a party for her. Saturday October 15th at the park from 1 pm to 3 pm.

Also she really embraces being an October baby so there's a mash up of fall and spooky happening. If your kid would like to dress up, they are more than welcome to because Willa certainly will be. I won't be but if you're feeling in the mood, go for it.

OKAY. So, let me break down a few things here. I need everyone's attention here, it's very important and well at least it's in written form so you can refer back to it later and not feel like you really missed anything. Which I guess kind of ruins the 'hey it's important, pay attention' vibe I was going for, but maybe we can just flag it with an exclamation point or something? That way it's something you can come back to and--

Sorry, sorry, getting off-topic.

Steve. I was able to track down a few of the more important things I threw out of your car, in case you still need them. The tire iron and a few cassette tapes, specifically. Burrito is long gone. I think a raccoon stole it.

Nancy. Clothes trip! We gotta get ready for the speed dating and I do not have my coolest clothes from home. We can maybe find a pretty dress for you, too.

Eddie. I found a gift for you, please bang your head appropriately! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gimmemobile&hl=en_US&gl=US

Chief Hopper. I am still very sorry about the tire iron! But at least it didn't slow you down? As an apology, I got you a Jim Croce CD, but then realized you might not have a CD player, so uh, I've got you a shiny metal disc that may be useless.

El & The Gang. Hey I found a big box of dungeons and dragons books at the thrift store. I really don't know much, or anything, about it or if you already have these or anything, but I thought you all might like to have them so boom, purchased and I even talked some guy into bringing them through the waypoint for me. Now they're all strapped to a luggage cart for easy pulling. All yours! -- any chance it's enough of a bribe to get some help prepping my store for Halloween?

Ten years ago I was very dead and stuck on the Other Side, just two years after finding out I was actually a witch, not thinking I'd make it past 18.

Ten years later I'm now:

- Posting in a public network to remind people that an entire city is about to decent in Halloween and Samhain insanity, it's kind of a big deal around here. Some witches and others with magic look at is a New Year, and the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. Expect a lot of celebrations from your local covens. (Similarly, Halloween. Get your costumes now before you're scrambling to find something last minute like the majority of the population. Just don't buy pieces of your costume from actual magic shops. That's how you get cursed.)
- Still trying to convince my son that "Pants" is not the best Halloween costume. I'm still losing.
- Getting a second chance with my favorite person, who I actually used to hate at one point.
- Wondering how Caroline did what she did as I'm trying to get my own grasp on Thurvishar's job as Magic Lead.

Time is weird.
