That's what I sing to Charlotte (sans "eclectic") whenever she has something hanging out of her nose.  Which is ironic considering that "The Electric Slide" was the only song on my wedding do-not-play list.  Then again, these days I'm doing a lot of stuff I said I never would, something I'm acutely aware of as this little rag morphs into a mommy blog in fashion-sheep-sta's clothing.

So enjoy these eclectic electric fits and the illusion of sanity that they so blithely perpetuate.  Because no one -- least of all me -- wants to see a lipstick-less lady in spit up-stained PJs.

The husband is a big fan of Edgar Allen Poe.  You'd think it'd be me, the former English major, but I've always thought he was creepy.  Not so much for the stories he wrote, but because he married his teenaged cousin.  So a few weeks ago when I was in Michaels and saw a wrapped canvas of the dark one striding down the street with his redoubtable raven, I knew I had to get it for the husband.  Now it has pride of place in our living room, and I confess that I kind of like it!  

One Halloweeny (is that a word?!) thing I have always loved is curating festive outfits.  If it's black, orange, purple, or green, then I have the best time making it kooky and spooky.  This year I was excited to bust out these asymmetrical striped tights.  I'll go against my better judgment (as I usually do!) and tell you how the sausage -- or, in this case, the sausage casing -- was made.  It's not one new pair of tights, but two old pairs.  I stuck one leg in one half of the yellow pair and one leg in one half of the orange, then tied the two extra legs at the back and bunched them under my conveniently poufy skirt.  It was more comfortable than I thought it'd be, what with the excess hosiery being so pillow-like.  Then again, I wasn't leaving my yard.

If only I could be so motivated about my actual Halloween costume.  But as always, I remain laser-focused on fun but unnecessary pursuits while procrastinating about the stuff that I need to get done.

Fellow Halloween partygoers, don't be surprised if I show up in a sheet. 👻

It's true.  Somewhere out there, singer Charlie Puth and X-Files alumni David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are discussing super heroes and aliens to the tune of Puth's "One Call Away":  

"I'm only one call away

I'll be there to save the day

Superman got nothing on me

I'm only one call away"

After all, Superman's an alien who hails from Krypton.  But unlike the little green men rumored to plot against us, Superman is one extraterrestrial who's always got our backs (albeit not quite like Charlie).

Nevertheless, when it comes to jewelry, it's the green guys who are the good guys.  Especially UFO Flo orbiting Earth with her oh-so-sweet smile.  She doesn't look like she'd hurt a fly much less a human.  

Then again, cuteness is my kryptonite.
