Revisiting Halloween

Here is the Halloween that you haven't seen yet!

Our work put out a call to dress up, and though not too

many of our employees did, a few of us heard the call loud and clear! I was having a hard time figuring out what I was going to wear, so Thursday my coworker sent me home with two bags of costumes that her daughter (about my size and age) had kindly leant out to me. I found a great greek costume for both aaron and I to wear, but for a "work" atmostphere, I felt it was a little too revealing, so I was back to square one.

I dove in to our spare closet to see what I could find from my past halloweens and one by one I tried on every costume and stretch of a costume I could come up with from Army Chick to Indian Girl to Go Go dancer, and one by one I elimated the outfits as ei

ther too risque or too tight that I could not fit my self into it (gogo dancer, can-can girl, fairy- each more and more depressing as I realized just how much weight I have gained and how sickening'ly skinny I once was- dang I wish I had that body again!). So what did I end up with? Well the only thing that Really fit me....my Grandmother's Authentic 1984 L.A. Olympics Staff Jog Suit, by Levi's! If you couldn't already pick me out of a crowd, you sure wouldn't miss me now in this BRIGHT ORANGE & YELLOW Outfit. Hey, I made it work, and everyone loved it....not to mention it was totally comfortable, so there!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...... You want to see Aaron and I in our Toga's? Well....... fine! Here you go!

A Dinner with the Kipp's

So Now we are going to head back a week and touch on the great night we had the Kipp.'s! Mike and Jos had us over for a great dinner (as always) and Aaron held the Baby practically the whole time....sounds like someone has the baby itch....good thing it is not me ! hahahaha!

Here are some great pictures of the night a great video of Justice showing off his Darth Vader (sorry I couldn't get it to flip) costume for us! Hilarious!

2 weeks of posts coming!

Well...at the very least I suck at this blogging thing. When I first started this over a year ago, I was really good at posting everyday, now you are lucky if you get something every couple of weeks. But you have to admit that when I get some content I stretch it out right!? So we have had two VERY full, consecutive weekends, and this week you will hear all about them, starting with Halloween. SWEET!

Every year, I host a halloween party at Mikey's house. Really it's his party, but I run it cuz he is not too good at planning....and needless to say, that is one of my strengths. So this saturday marked the Third Annual Halloween Party, and it wouldn't have been complete without a Costume Contest and a NEW trophy! Though Aaron and I dressed up in cute Roman Outfits, we weren't the winners... (no real big surprise when you see what we were up against!). The winner's were our four friends Mikey (Host), Eliot, Gene & Eric. The fantastic four dressed as the crew from the movie The Hangover. There costume was hilarious and right on! Mikey even drove around with the baby (a CPR baby from Eliot's work) all day and had a couple of Cops give him some double takes.

The runner up was Nate, dressed as a cop from Reno 911 a hilarious show on Comedy Central. He and Erin made his costume, we all thought he bought it from a party store, but it was not so.

All in all the costumes were a hit with the Taylors being Mormons, Erin S. a vampire, Jill as Tinkerbell, and much much more! I can't wait until next year to see the great costumes that everyone comes up with!

P.S. Stay Tuned for a GREAT video tomorrow, from the party!

TWINS!

So it looks like Sarita is going to have twins! Mom and Dad and Baby makes...FOUR! It is not for certain, but two heart beats on opposite ends of her uterus makes the doctors think that she is carrying two! Hey sara, now you can eat for THREE and not feel bad!

We are super excited for her, and trying to pump her up...she is "trying to come to grips" with the whole "twins" possibility! I for one think it is awesome! Aaron and I hope that we get twins somewhere in the mix! What I told sara is, the best part- you get rid of two kids at once in 18 years! HAHAHA!

Well, that is about it. It was awesome seeing the girls this weekend and having a reunion (pictures to come). I am hosting Mikey Palmer's 2nd Annual Halloween Party (again) on Friday, Trying to get lame people to RSVP sucks, I even sent the easiest invite in the world and evite and they don't respond. Oh well, I figure the majority of them will show up anyway. I just don't know if I will have enough food for them. That's thier problem. We are having a "Best Costume" contest and I making the trophy for that (in progress- but will post pictures when I have them). The theme is famous person or couples from a TV show or Movie. I have heard what a couple people have come up with and it will be interesting and fun! I will post the winner's picture, if it is appropriate.

That's all, I really need to take a shower and get to bed. Have a good night...day....morning, whatever time it is for you!

Peace Out- and VOTE Sucka's!

Happy Merry HallowThanksMas!

Dude! So I was in a store maybe it was yesterday or maybe it was today....gosh one day bleeds into another when you work for a living....anyway all in one aisle I saw:

• Halloween
  

1. Candy- What!? Who's buys that this far in advance?
2. Costumes: Isn't that like a last minute decision thing?
3. PUMPKINS!- HELLO! It is still September! The pumpkin will wilt and die before halloween night comes! What the F!

• Thanksgiving:

1. IT'S STILL SEPTEMBER!
2. We aren't even close to Halloween, let along thanksgiving. That is another 10 Weeks; 69 days (hehe); 1656 hours!

• Christmas:

1. Please just reference all the above comments.

I just don't get it. Do the stores really think that we prepare that early?!!! REALLY! I mean here is what I do, and I know there is a ton of you who do the same:
1. I buy just under a year a head for the next years holidays (i.e. I hit the sales the day after the holiday event)
2. I wait till the very last minute to buy the crap that has to be bought near the day of the holiday event, so I can garuntee to get the best price possible, and only buy what I need.
3....and I am not even "poor".

Do you feel me or what? I just hate seeing all these holidays bleed into one, and get promoted way too early!

So that is the post for today. small but to the point.
Hope you are enjoying the blog so far. If you think someone else would enjoy it, pass the link on!

"ok, peace out"
