Happy Halloween.

I have been in costume from 7:30am - 4:00pm and then again from 5:30pm - 8:300pm. I am just now begining to warm up from being outside scaring the little ones. I was threatening enough but then you also had my mom and Eric to deal with. And I am so happy that we all had such a good time! Pictures are up already! However there will be more soon of my sisters...

Aren't we just goulish? You have no idea how many kids we scared - young and old. The parents even jumped now and again. The parents cracked up almost every time their kid flew back five feet. Tonight we even had little girls run away without getting any candy!

New Obsession.

The girl that is labeled the treehugging hippie at home at work at school. The girl that has a stack of paper to reuse at home and at work. The girl that flips out if you put your plastic soda bottle in the garbage and not in the recycle bin. The girl that thinks that soda is bad for you anyway drink water - its cheaper. The girl that started picking up garbage on earth day at the age of eight of her own free will. The girl that does all of that has a new obsession. Catalogs. I know it is horrible and bad and all of that... but I love looking through catalogs. I have even tried to just go to the website but it is just not the same. I am ashamed to admit it but I cannot stop.

On another note, when was the last full moon in this area? I am not too sure and I don't have a calander near by but I did find the following on my digital camera. (The drunk girl can take nice pictures of the moon...)

By the way...

The archives wont be here for a while, not like you care anyway because I sure as hell don't read your archives.

That fatal button.

So yes, I too have the curse of the fatal button. The delete button should not be accessable to me. I, for a few days, was considering to keep movable type uninstalled and code this site completely by hand. I even figured out how to use snorcomments2 which could be useful in the future.

For Halloween I have decided to try and really scare the kids - a jet black coffin with red interior. I will be dressing up and giving candy out of a black cauldron. I am praying that it does not snow on Halloween, I can tell already that I will need to be wearing my thermal underoos. We also plan on making tombstones, any suggestions on who should be burried in the front yard? I of course thought of Janis Joplin but I would love to hear any cheesey dead names you have for me!

I really don't want to jinx myself but I have been fairly happy with my job lately. I think the teamwork is really begining to show. I used to get all freaked out about everything but I would try to not let it show. Now I don't freak out - C'est la vie, what will be will be. Perhaps it is because more and more people (our clients) are missing deadlines and meetings and it is okay.

Tonight there is a new episode of my all time favorite show - That 70s Show. I think if I had to pick only one program to watch for all eternity it would be That 70s Show or maybe XFiles. Okay so sock it to me Give me 1. the best tombstone name and 2. your all time favorite you cant live without it tv show.

Guess who is back? My Mommy! she is now back on land... no more crusin' for her.

I adore browsing the differnt sandals, clogs, and shoes at Birkenstock.com. They redesigned their site, I think it appears to be more user friendly. On another note, I bought myself another present. I am spoiling me.

I ordered something from Oldnavy.com and it arrived today! I got a black one and just love it. The best part of all is that it was only $25.

Yummy yummy yummy there is bean dip in my tummy!

1. Two cans of refried beans
2. One jar of Salsa
3. Cheddar cheese to taste
4. Chopped onions to taste

Mommy! Come home we all miss you! Eric misses you, I miss you, Mary misses you and so does little Julie Bug! Your kitty misses you, my puppy misses you... everyone misses you!

Over the weekend I was introduced to the Sims. It was the first time that I have ever played the game, and it was quite amusing. I was upset about the money situation so my younger sister showed me the rosebud cheat and now everyone will be millionaires.

Eric and I never even stayed long enough to see the Dave Matthews cover band at the Chance. It doesn't matter because like I had said earlier "I haven't even seen Dave Matthews, Why would I want to see a cover band?" We only decieded to go because our friends were going and we wanted to hang out. But there was something good that came because of the evening. We were introduced to Solid Jackson and if you go to their site you can download their entire album.

Tonight Eric and I are headed to a Dave Matthews Cover Band. Only eight ten bucks to get in... woot! Hey ma, if I don't get home in time to see you on the webcam I am so sorry... (I think it is broken anyway, the date on it says October 2 and although there is a time differnce I don't think that it is more than 2 days...)

Apples, grapes and bananas. I used to snack on cookies, or a bagel or bread with peanut butter and honey. Now if I want a snack I will eat fruit! Talk about revoluntionary. Let me tell you why the breaded snacks are easier. No washing involved. You can eat it right out of the package.

For a while I would cut up green, red and orange peppers, carrots and cuecumbers leave them in a tupperware container and eat them with veggie dip. That got time consuming. I should really start doing that again, but I would want to avoid the veggie dip.

What in the hell is all of this rambling about? Well I am going to admit this for the first time on this site I think... I want to loose weight. It has always been in the back of my mind. I don't want to get skinny and I don't see myself as fat (or really fat, just larger than needed). I would like to just be two or three dress sizes smaller. I really don't care about actual pounds because I weight a lot. I am okay with that, I know that I am a strong woman and muscles are heavier than fat. Eh, in short everyday for breakfast I have fruit not an egg and cheese on a hard roll - which I really loved. For lunch I have a salad instead of something on a hard roll. I have been doing this for about three weeks now and I am okay with it. Keep everything fruits and veggies...

Of course there is one tiny thing I have to admit. I also eat a Snickers Kudos Bar and one hershey's minature a day. I know if I cut out chocolate I will end up eating way too much of it all at once. The best part of the kudos is that it tastes just like a snickers but with much less everything...

And one more thing, I talked to my mom today. She is in paradise and trying to have fun...

Hey Mom! I miss you mom! Let me know how you are doing and when you are going to be back in New York again!

Breasts. Am I missing something here? A ten year study suggests that doing a Breast-self exam does not help detect cancer. It also stated that to teach the proper way to do it is very costly. What? There is no equiptment used, there are no medicines given. I don't understand how it is so costly. And another thing, there is a pill that can make a man's dick hard but to create a mamogram machine that is not tourture is unheard of. Maybe I am just pushing it but isn't that what I do best?

I added more.

What in the hell are you thinking?

Hey Ma, do you remember the back of dark chocolate hershey's minatures that you bought me? I had my last one yesterday! Now I need another bag to calm my addiction to dark chocolate.

Okay so I must be a little behind in the news or something. For a few days now I have been wondering what in the hell happened to jambands radio maybe just maybe this explains it.

Psst, I redesigned my art section. I will be taking pictures of my work as soon as the battery for my digital camera finishes charging.

Okay I admit that I really like the idea of artist of the month but I realized that there are just tons and tons of pages dedicated to artists. Why should I even bother? I just spent the last hour trying to put together a page on Artemisia Gentileschi. Duh! I have stumbled across at least five pages about her, with little tidbits here and there. Just go read one of those if you feel the need.
