And I’m having a virtual costume party!

To get the ball rolling, a few friends volunteered their favorite childhood costumes:

Lisa Hunter: Princess Leia, complete with double-donut hair and a dress my mom made from living room drapes.

Sally Kuhlman: One year when I was a teenager, I dressed up as Santa Claus for Halloween and little kids kept saying, “Look, Mommy, there’s Santa!” and wanting to come up and talk to me.

Sharon Roemmel: This isn’t from my childhood, but apparently people call me “Peter Pan” when I’m not around and I kind of remind people of a wood nymph or pixie. So this year I’m going to get elf boots with a wreath of leaves in my hair and many find some pointy ears.

Joanne Scharer: I went as a garbage bag one too many times (Mom wasn’t into costumes) and I was Strawberry Shortcake once.

Inspired Spouse: The Devil. Many times – because I liked the horns and the red costume… plus I was a little devil myself.

Jen Hofmann: Hands down, being a butterfly in nursery school was my very favorite costume. Nice job, Mom.

Costume Party instructions (there’s candy involved):

Mention your favorite childhood costume before Saturday night and get a chance to win some really good candy. We’re talking treats, not tricks. Winners chosen at random (it’s ADD day, of course it’s random!).

What was YOUR favorite childhood costume?

I blew up.

A bottle of cola, that is. With Mentos candy. Have you ever tried that?

My friend and adventure buddy, Lisa Hunter of Inner Business Diva, put me up to having a little fun she calls an Adventure in Free Time. (Really, Lisa Hunter is the only reason I’m even remotely cool.)

Here’s where it all the exploding fun happened – including a photo of me suited up in rain gear (to protect me from the downpour of cola). Check it out:  geyser drinking!

Sally’s going for the MINI!

My friend, Sally Kuhlman, dreams about Mini Coopers the way most people dream about Hawaii or winning the lottery. She’s Mini-obsessed.

And she needs our help.

Her Cooper dealership in San Francisco got wind of her Mini-passion via twitter. She plans woo them into winning a Mini by tweeting and blogging about it in a big way.

You know I’m a believer in big dreams.

Here’s where you come in:

All you have to do is cut, paste, and tweet the following phrase:

I believe in @Sally_K’s dream, do you @MINISF? #MiniSally

Or you can improvise – just make sure you use the hashtag. I promise this is not a scam and that Sally is a real person. I know her. She’s adorable and amazing and wants to drive a Mini. Will you join me in helping her out?

The ADDness goes on, but I’ll stop here for now. Have you any quirky, fun or random suggestions to add?
