I Left My Dignity At The Office Halloween Party

it's true. i was trying really hard to win first prize ($100) in the costume contest, so i dressed up like the queen of the renaissance fair. despite what i thought was a totally bitchin' outfit (it was real, from a real renaissance fair,) i only won $25. so i achieved 1/4 of my goal. which is better than zero i guess. it was fun though so that's okay. there was all kinds of yummy food and fun games, and lots of people dressed up. i was disappointed in a few people who did not dress up or bring food, but because i have no idea who reads this thing i will refrain from naming names. you know who you are. like i said before, this is an office halloween party. check your dignity at the door.

i would like to make special mention of liz, who dressed up like a penguin, which i did not see coming. that made me happy.

today is the last day of october, and i plan to spend my afternoon watching nebraska kick baylor university's booty, drinking cider, watching it's the great pumkin charlie brown, and handing out candy to all the kids who come to my door. i could not think of a more perfect afternoon/evening. it gets even better tomorrow because tonight is the end of daylight savings time so i get an extra hour of sleep, and also at church tomorrow alison is singing a solo so i don't have to get there super early, and when i do get there i don't even really have to do anything and i get paid anyway. can life get better? i submit that it cannot.

Been A While, Much?

holy crap i haven't posted since june. i'm so lazy. here's what i'm up to now: this weekend my cousin tiffany made her national television debut on the animal planet series "i'm alive". my cousin sebastian got married. i spent nine hours on my couch in my pajamas crocheting a doily and watching the america's next top model marathon. you haven't missed much.
