It’s been a long, long week. I think I may have over-extended myself just a bit. Between the preparations for the Halloween Party and packing this place up to move out by Friday, 11/2, I’m going insane 🙂

The party is over, however, and now I can fully concentrate on packing. The party was loads of fun, and I got to spend a lot of time OUT of the kitchen this year thanks to an easier-to-prepare menu –which turned out to be awesome since I was able to bring Tyler along 🙂 He had loads of fun helping us set up, and then he played games for awhile, and then he ran the Creepy Cupcake Walk. We both went home happy and exhausted. Pictures of the party are here : Flickr. Tyler even let me do a little photo shoot in his Ninja turtle costume…at grandma’s house and at St. Mary’s. I think the kid humors me 🙂
I didn’t mention this earlier in the week, but Thom showed up at work on Wednesday night with this awesome bouquet of deep pink roses and a card to officially ask me to move to Arkansas with him since he never really asked. LOL. Have I mentioned that? That he never asked me…that I just announced that I was going to move? Does that make me a pushy girlfriend?
Anyway….I have to get packing…and later today is Scott’s birthday dinner. Hope you all had a great weekend 🙂

…Word of the Day

impecunious….this word totally cracks me up because it’s a great adjective that totally describes me.

Without looking it up……guess what it means and leave me a comment! No peeking…Treats for the closest guess!

…Ponderings and an Introduction

Several times in the past year I’ve noticed lone shoes laying in the middle of roads. One shoe. I’ve seen them on the highway…on back roads…and on city streets and I’ve wondered how one lonely shoe was forgotten or lost. Did some drunk dude trip and lose it while stumbling home? Did they fly from a too-fast moving vehicle? Was it used as a flying-projectile-weapon in some road rage incident? I don’t know…but I do wonder 🙂

Moving on…Lisa at work got a new puppy last week. I’m so jealous. He’s adorable. Meet Just Jack McFarland. I’ll have to bring over Charlotte Yorkie so they can become friends.

Hope you’re all having a great week!

….Family Fun

Got together with the family on Sunday to celebrate Dad’s birthday. Per usual the cameras were out in full force. Poor Dalani will probably grow up fearing paparazzi 🙂

…Eva (Longoria)

She was hit by a car on Saturday and she died at the vet’s office. I’m saddened at the thought that she won’t be around anymore. She was a good dog who just wanted the chance to be free and run, and to feel the wind flap her ears and let her tongue bounce wildly in the breeze. I’ve never been a dog person….but I really, really liked Eva.

So long, girl.
