Halloween Festivities

I’m so excited it’s almost Halloween and I get to dress up two days in a row! Even if my costume isn’t very fancy, I’m excited to wear it. I started off the Halloween week festivities with fingernail painting. I did ghosts, witches hats, and pumpkins on mine, Sun’s, Chalices and Grandma’s nails all by hand! Last night for sorority we did an exchange with a fraternity and carved pumpkins. My partner and I decided to do our pumpkin as Pinocchio because it couldn’t stand up like a normal pumpkin and it had a long nose. I’ve attached the picture of it.

Grandma's lovely nails


Mine, can you believe I did it left handed!



And Suns' she's never had her nails painted before.

Yay the weekend!

Wow, work is sloooow today. Interesting since it’s a Friday. I’ll ramble about some of my latest outings. Last night I had my hair colored. I have a love/hate relationship at this point. I was so excited to get rid of the blonde highlights, now they’re gone I kind of miss them. I went darker with a hint of red, goes good with fall I suppose. On Wednesday I went to the Rho activity. We had our “Rhomeo” pageant where boys from some of the fraternities put on skits, did interviews, basically a watered down Miss America Pageant. It was funny, they each had to take a turn being Romeo and Juliet and acted it out. Wow, those are pretty much the only exciting things I can think of besides just work. I’ve been doing a lot of reading. I’m currently on a Jack Weyland kick. I read Charly, Sam, and Adam’s story. I guess you could consider it a series. I’m currently reading Ashley and Jen, I also read one by Michelle Ashman Bell, I really like her writing style too. I’ve been spending my Saturday’s watching college football, I’m only mildly obsessed J too bad we don’t get the channel the Utes are on. Last Sunday, I went to an awesome fireside with Elder Scott. He did a question/answer thing it was way cool. He talked a lot about dating and how he feels bad for us girls, I couldn’t agree with him more. Well, hopefully with Halloween this next weekend, I’ll have lots more to report, including attaching a picture of my costume, I still have yet to wear it. Wow, work actually started getting busy including a credit card loan. Well, I’ll keep it at this for now, yay for the weekend!

These are a few of my favorite things about fall…

-Starbucks Pumpkin Frapacchino with cream no coffee (I was craving this in church so you know its addicting)
-Starbucks pumpkin loaf
-Starbucks hot chocolate when its pouring rain and the lobby is freezing at work
-having a Starbucks next door to work
-the crisp fall air
-not needing air conditioning or the heater at night or in the car
-rain
-wrapping myself up in a blanket during the rain with a good book
-FINALLY not being in school for once in my life so I can read for fun (although I still miss school)
-the start of all these amazing sports: college football, basketball, world series, NFL
-my new Lovesac (not really with specific to fall, but I just got it this fall)
-Diet Coke (who am I kidding, this applies year round but lately its tasted extra good)
-Halloween, I love all the decorations and everything, I’m even going to be a Dalmatian this year, I’ll post pics
-Halloween day at work the one day a year we don’t have to dress up
-the thought that Christmas (so even more decorating) is coming up
-having an excuse to wear orange finger nail polish
-pumpkin pie
-Columbus Day holiday (yeah I know lucky working in the banking industry, I'm loving the idea of paid holidays)

And probably many more, I just love the season changes and this time of year!

Nothing noteworthy...just an update

I haven't had any earth shattering events happen. I go to work each day, come home and repeat the process. Sometimes I mix sorority, other church callings, reading, craft night and doctor's appointments in there. In a way it's nice to have a semi-quiet life with no big happenings going on. And really if I think about it some big things have happened they're just over now, it's not completely worth getting into. I will have another thing thrown in the mix. My wrist after all that is still not getting better. It swells up noticeably almost everyday and just gives out all the time. I went to the doc, who re-xrayed it. No fracture again and now he wants to do physical therapy. In a way I wish it had just broken, like clean break that's it nothing else wrong, but no. I'm hoping going to this just a few times will make it better, stronger and no more worries. It's kind of pathetic what two stupid actions can get you. Oh one crazy piece of information Cameron hit his six month mark. I can't believe it's been that long, it's funny how some of it goes fast and other parts its slow. Well, hope you all enjoy the week I'm just looking forward to my three day weekend (I love Columbus Day)
