Now that Thanksgiving is officially over, we move on to the season of Christmas carols, cheesy Hallmark movies, and ugly sweaters. I am unclear on the origins of this hallowed tradition, but does that stop me from participating with my whole heart? Nay, it does not.

According to Wikipedia, Stone Mountain is a pluton. Basically it's a huge piece of rock that's sticking out of the earth. So naturally I had to to check it out. I once again tagged along on Mom's business trip and had a morning to kill so I trekked on down to Stone Mountain.

It's All Hallow's Eve Eve and if you're like me, you have no costume planned yet. Enter the Lazy Girl's Guide to Halloween. You may think you have no costume, but your closet (and your parents') is a treasure trove of costumes waiting to happen.

Lady Sybil
Do you have genie pants and a crazy headband? Bam! You're Lady Sybil from Season 2 of Downton Abbey. Bonus points if you can find a handsome Tom Branson to take you to the Halloween dance.



Dave
Go to Target. Get a "Hi, my name is..." tag. Write "Dave" (or any other name you fancy) on it. And you're Dave à la Jim Halpert.



Dwight Shrute
Does your dad have a mustard yellow dress shirt? Pair it with some khakis, part your hair down the middle and you're Dwight K. Shrute, my friend.


Snape, Death Eater, Favorite Hogwarts Students
If you've graduated recently and had to purchase an exasperatingly expensive graduation gown, your moment has come. Dust off the old cobwebs of that gown, pick up a stick from your backyard and bask in the glory of your Harry Potter costume and the knowledge that you're getting some use out of the grad gown.



Tourist
Grab that selfie stick your parents picked you up in Rome and you're all set. Go all in and wear an "I Love NY" to up your game.



Muggle
This one is fool proof. You've been perfecting it your whole life. In fact, you're probably already in this costume so head out the door and let the Halloweening begin.

American Apparel declared bankruptcy last week. But Ed Sheeran covered 5SOS's American Apparel song it's going to ok.

This is also a petition for Ed to sing everything.



Last week mum had a little business trip in Atlanta and I got to tag along. Mostly I just ate at one delicious restaurant after another. There are just too many to put into a single post, so these are my favorites. Next time you're in the Atl for 24 hours, eat at these places and you won't be hungry or disappointed.
