A couple weeks ago I went to DC for the week for work - commercial space stuff. I left on a Friday after work and spent the weekend with Jenny T (again!) and family. I like this "getting to see Jenny often" stuff. It makes me happy! We hit the outlet mall, had a bunch of laughs and even had dinner with me, Jenny and Kim (she's on my work trip with me) girl's night out style in Reston Town Center at...the Something Tavern. Dangit, I should remember the name...oh well. It was a lot of fun reminiscing about the last time we 3 got together at Mamacita's here in TX. For those who know this story, it was a brutal night for us all (most especially Jim!) capped off with a super dose of pain cave the next day. Ahhh, memories. We had a great time in DC and I can't wait to return to see JT and her awesome new digs again! Yay!
Charlie went to Minnesota for a birthday getaway to spend time with his friends and family. From what I hear he had a great time and really enjoyed seeing everyone from his Army days, playing football and hanging out with his family. There was something in there mentioned about hot tubs and pull tabs, a shed and drinking beer...that I couldn't quite follow, but it all ends with a happy Mar. That's what I like to see!!
Halloween is upon us and while we didn't go crazy this year with the decorations, we did put some up and at the moment Charlie is carving pumpkins for the front porch. The weather here is gorgeous (cooler, but not cool just yet) and perfect for Halloween-ing. We went to party thrown by a coworker of Charlie's last night - the theme was Seven Deadly Sins. What a FAB idea! She went all out on the decorations: bloody tarps, a fog machine, strobe lights, outdoor projection screen with the movie "Seven" playing, and then seven stations around the house, one for each of the deadly sins. In case you don't remember your 7 Deadly Sins, like I didn't, they are: Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Wrath, Envy and Pride. Each station had a special shot, game or activity of some kind and decorations to match (a bedroom dec'd out for Lust, mirrors for Pride, casino area for Greed, a red velevet pig cake for Gluttony and so on...).
It was a good time and a great party idea! Charlie and I dressed up as Ninjas to represent the sin of Wrath. We had homemade nunchucks, chinese throwing stars, a wooden staff for smashing people and awesome homemade outfits. Note: Our ninja skills did not go unnoticed (or undisplayed - we OWNED those fools!!). It is entirely possible that I ran around the party declaring important things like "Chinese star to your face!", "Ninja knee to your ribs!", and "Hi-YA! You got Ninja'd!". I'm just saying...
Tonight is Halloween, happy tricking and treating to you all!
