Mermaids and too few Hours in a Day

primsongExtra projects I'm having to help with this month and next are interesting but sure put a dent in my ability to enjoy the pleasurable company of my lovely people here online - so if I seem to go missing, I'm just in "quick lurk in between stuff" mode for a bit.
Our church is doing a "Trunk or Treat" again this year, where everyone dresses up their cars with a theme and we all hand out candy from the trunks of our cars - lets kids do an entire neighborhood's worth of people in one parking lot instead of going to houses and is good fun, we had a TON of kids last time, almost ran out of candy and did run out of hot-dogs. Anyway - this time my big station wagon, being a 'land yacht' is going with a nautical theme. I'm using netting, rubber urchins, mylar fish and a giant stuffed marlin pillow we have for ambiance and Starbells and I are dressing as mermaids - found great glittery stuff at Goodwill we can layer for outfits, and Swedish Fish candies to hand out. :-D Now to just figure out how to get some blue christmas lights in there.
Have a nice weekend!

I've seen people plug theirs in that way but I need to go hunting for whatever type of converter is needed to do it... or maybe a string of LED lights that run on 12-volt? Or maybe I'll just steal the backup power supply from my computer for a couple hours, heh... we'll see what the store yields up this afternoon.
