Now, are you dressed up?&#8221; Methinks I need to re-evaluate my work wardrobe.<\/li>\n<li>One guy from the office actually recognized us without being given a hint, &#8220;AB FAB!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Another one asked if I was Amy Farrah Fowler off of Big Bang Theory and I had to concede that perhaps this year I&#8217;d stumbled on a double costume!<\/li>\n<li>I swung by the HeB (grocery store) on my way home. A couple of teenage guys approached me and the first one said, &#8220;Nice costume!&#8221;. I replied, &#8220;Thank you&#8221; and smiled. The second and less quick-witted one followed this up with, &#8220;Is that a costume?&#8221; I just continued smiling, nodded, and kept walking.<\/li>\n<li>A four or five year old little boy in the store gave me a, &#8220;Cool!&#8221;&#8230;.he was evidently sure it was a costume.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, another fun Halloween! Thanks for the great costume idea, Edina! And points for great execution to Patsy!<br \/>\n<br \/>Ps. I almost forgot, when TH saw me, he said, &#8220;are you allowed to wear a skirt to work?&#8221;. He cracks me up. But, I do love some pants\/jeans.
