I had my birthday, Halloween, and wisdom teeth surgery all within three days of each other, and I currently look a lot like a chipmunk. Apparently, swelling is worst around a few days after the surgery operation, and for some reason one side of my face has decided to be particularly swollen despite the fact that I had teeth out on both sides. Safe to say, it's not very fun, but it went well with my last-minute dormouse costume, LOL. Halloween was spent inside with Charlie Brown and my mum and brother and pureed pumpkin. A LOT of pureed pumpkin.

It's been difficult not getting to have "real"-feeling foods like a bowl of warm brown rice and broccoli (oh, how I miss that!), but my mum and I have been making the best of the blender. My chosen birthday meal was "pudding" made of pumpkin puree, a banana, and a tablespoon of carob powder. It actually tastes quite fun :). I've also been having baby food. Whoever decided to combine apple sauce and blueberries into a little container of mush is my hero.
Back to Halloween, though...when I was little, two of my all-time favorite movies were The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride. My mum remembers hearing "This is Halloween," the intro theme from the former, playing in the background while she was working. I realize now how creepy the song actually is, but I was super excited to see the DWTS dance cover of it. The dance moves are as creepy and spidery as the lyrics!
