Uh oh! Halloween is right around the corner, (or for us church kids Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat) and you don't have a costume yet! Ah! Here are five costumes you never considered.

1. With the outbreak of Pokemon go, around 90% of the female population are going to be cute Pikachu's. Why not try being a different Pokemon instead? Who could resist this adorable jiggly puff?

2. Cursed Child is finally out, so of course we have to celebrate with some great Harry Potter costumes. Everyone loves a good Harry or Hermione outfit. But why not go for broke and be Lord Voldemort or Bellatrix Lestrange? (Disclaimer, I am a hufflepuff and do not support the dark arts whatsoever)

side note, Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them comes out November 18th. SQUEE!

3. We all love to be Disney Princesses. Why not celebrate the fall festivities this year with a tribute to our newest Disney favorite and dress up as a sea critter a la Finding Dory? Dude, these guys "crushed" it all the way to the EAC.

4. If you live in a state where the weather is still warm in October -coughs Georgia coughs- a tribute to everyone's favorite IT girl is definitely something to consider. No longer chic New Yorker Serena Vanderwoodsen, Blake Lively plays surfer girl Nancy Adams in this years feature film, The Shallows. A surfing costume is fun, fierce, and totally righteous, dude.

5. Of course, if your like me and your only in this for the candy, you may want to consider the ever overlooked "Candy bag/bucket" costume. Just throw it straight in my mouth yall. Upside down, but you get the idea. I'm only in it for the food.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
