[taking a break from serious pumpkin carving - meg, my little sister]
[meg]
[our pumpkins actually got carved this year!]
halloween day was spent being lazy and staying close to home, visiting grandma and a sick mum, feasting, carving pumpkins, sipping spiked cider, and watching movies.
not a bad halloween weekend. though, i will say that it made me realize that i slacked a lot this year with preparation. next year it will be different! watch out!
our weekend included spending some much needed time with some of the most amazing people we know, seeing Monster Squad for the first time(for me anyway), having "wolfman's nards" while watching Monster Squad: "my nards are showing" "top 'em off!"!
wolfman's nards:
1 1/2oz vodka(we started off with svedka, and then went with pinnacle's whipped cream vodka..amazing)
1oz kahlua
3/4 oz cream
lindt chocolate truffles dropped in
my wolfman apparently had a cryptorchid....heh.

[the pumpkin carving skills there were amazing]
on sunday we made it back over the mountain to go see the first show by Brighter Fires, two amazing and talented people(see also Andy Deane of Bella Morte). they did wonderful for it being 36degrees outside, and their first live run through! i'm glad that we were able to make it to support.

work work work. i've been doing a lot of it. in some weird way, both jobs seem to balance each other out. a good thing? it's also so hard to believe that we're in entering the last week of october!? it's flown by, but i knew that it would. my only heartache really is not knowing how to dress for halloween. well, that, and not knowing what we're even going to be getting into? maybe not all bad. it's been quite awhile since i've had a laid back halloween, and maybe that's in order for this year. i guess we'll see what happens!
i also want to say hello to my new watchers :) i've enjoyed what you share also, and thank you <3
i hate summer. really. i know that sounds harsh, especially with all the lake and outdoor gushing that i've gone on about in the last two posts, but really i do. i can't get comfortable, i can't layer, i live in the south so the humidity paired with the heat makes being outside unbearable at times. yeah yeah i should break out some cheese with all my whine..
but then it seems when it's the hottest out, michael's crafts is already gearing up for the holidays and halloween is always the first to peek it's head out. seeing this makes the last two months of summer a little more bearable because i spend a lot of time daydreaming and planning about the change of season and everything that comes with it.
