Every child has something they grow attached to. When I was little, I had a "wooby" (a baby blanket) that I carried everywhere. Heck, I still had it in college. I would even sleep with it when I moved in with Jeff. Yikes! Should I really be admitting that?My parent's tell me that they took it away

When I began to start thinking about Halloween and costumes...I do what I do every year...rack my brain for good costume ideas. And, just like every other year, I usually come up with nothing good. Have you ever been on the halloween cosutme websites? Every year it's the same thing over and over. So
