I just finally got the icicles up on the eve of the house last night, and the sticky hooks I used lasted less than 24 hours.
At least the christmas tree is up and the lights on it haven't fallen off yet : ) |

Yes, Its a week after Halloween, but who cares? Its an excuse to dress up and party!
Thats right, Saturday November 7th around 8ish pm is our annual Halloween Bash. Everyone is welcome to come and bring their friends, the more the merrier. Costumes requested but not required. Food and beverages provided (unless you are picky, no need to bring your own). Plenty of crash space and we're walking distance form the metro....
Come out and join us!!!! |

I have the plague. Was the last one to fall, all my housemates and co-workers went first. Just enough so to give me a bit of hope that I wouldn't get it. No love though.
I'm not very good at being sick. |

I had a good morning at the range. Targets all very dead. Need to buy more paper plates.
I like the NRA range. Seems the other people on the line with you were more knowledgeable about their weapons than on average. Makes me nervous when someone with a hand cannon (bought probably because it was the biggest and the shiniest one in the gun store) can't even hit the cardboard holding their giant man sized target. |

After dragon con, it doesn't really seem like the people at the ren fair are wearing costumes.... what does it mean when pirates and men in kilts seem like normal everyday attire?
Looking for ward to a second day of Sam Adams Oktoberfest, turkey legs, and fried oreos for this weekend. And another day of playing dress-up! Strange that most women would probably look forward to a fancy night out where they can wear sexy dress and jewelry and fancy hair.... and I get excited about layered skirts and leather corsets and wings and such.

Our adventures in food led us to Grill From Iponema tonight. Drinks were spectacular. Food was meh, and has left me feeling like I got sucker punched by my steak when I wasn't looking. After such a great pun based name I am a bit disappointed that we won't be going back there.
Tomorrow: Mei N Yu for lunch and Marakesh Pasha Palace for dinner. Costuming and exploring in the mix also. Countdown to D*C. Still putting finishing touches on all of the costumes. And we want to try and go to the MD Ren Fest Sunday... squeee.
Got the new Playstation 3 Slim today. Now waiting on God of War III with baited breath. Trying to talk my man into playing Bioshock again... its just so pretty to watch. Might have to break down and learn how to use the X-box controller with its myriad of buttons after D"C so I can play it myself. Lord knows I'll need something to boost me out of the post con blues. Picked up a few new DS games to keep me occupied during the line standing that will be part of next weekend!
We'll be there in less than 6 days!!!!

Last night consisted of delivery Thai, three nerds dorking out with various games(Zelda, WOW, and Age of Empires III) on various media all in the same room, and followed by a stint in the hot tub relaxing.
Now, off to the range : )
To be followed by some costume completions hopefully. Con is getting close, time line for completion is running short.

a productive day: the shed is cleaned and the tools are organized, the hot tub is drained and cleaned and refilled, and the boxes of books are all unpacked and shelved. I even got to use my new vacuum a bit. Just call me Susie Homemaker.... hahaha

since my goal before I get my man back from Hawaii is to watch as many chick flicks as possible...
House Bunny was actually entertaining
Made of Honor was fun
and Blow Dry was... well its Alan Rickman (Snape) vs Bill Nighy (Viktor from Underworld) in a hairstyling competition.... it was funny and entertaining in a Priscilla Queen of the Desert or Kinky Boots kind of way.
My man is should be very happy he's not here for this ; )

Medusa's skirt is almost done, need a second pair of hands for the hemming. Sheer fabric is interesting to work with, this was my first time.
Found awesome green glittery eyeshadow on the cheap at target, so now I'll have green shiny snake type skin.
Need to finish the serpent headdress and find leggings.

|---|
Having a ton of spinach to be rid of I created my own recipe tonight that was healthy and so yumm I had to have seconds:
3 cups fresh spinach
1 cup fresh mushrooms
1 cup fresh tomato
2 cups cottage cheese
garlic powder and dried onions to flavor
pasta of choice
Place all ingredients in my Vitamix. Blend until smooth. Pour over fresh cooked pasta and add a touch of salt to flavor.
I was very surprised by the result. I was only looking for a way to get rid of some extra spinach and I think I found a new favorite way to each spinach!!! It was fast and easy AND it was good enough that I'm taking the leftover "sauce" to work tomorrow for lunch as a soup like substance : )

I'm up and running early this morning on her errand to fetch the rest of our lives out of a storage unit in Alabama. Nothing like driving the biggest truck i've ever driven full of crap I don't even remember what it is, and being limited by a governor so the trip is guaranteed to be long : )
