Black, Orange and Nothing to Wear

So, Halloween is 3 days away, and in my normal fashion, I still don't know what I am going to be. Well, for the Halloween Party at work on Friday I have a costume that is part of a group, but as for a costume for the main event, I am drawing a blank. Sure, I could buy a pair of wings and be an angel (which would only be dressing up in my true colors) or find some typical costume that lacks creativity. I just can't seem to think of anything to be.

And when Halloween comes, I can't help but think of one of the best movie quotes I have ever heard, compliments of the movie Mean Girls. "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. "

Now, I am not innocent when it comes to taking a perfectly wholesome costume and turning it into the scandalous version. Like, when I was homemaker Barbie - complete with a slip, apron, spatula and heels. Or a cowgirl in platforms and a tied up flannel. It is not hard to find a cute idea for a costume, cut the amount of material needed in half and have a nice "adult" version of the costume!

I just can't haven't found something that I really want to be. Everything I find is either too time consuming to create, too boring or just not fun. So, hopefully I will be inspired between now and Saturday when it is time to go out. And if not, well, Michael and I will just wait to go out until later when everyone is drunk and won't remember that we don't have costumes. hahaha

Thanks Mom...

I know that getting traits from you parents is inevitable. These gorgeous baby blues that look at the world everyday are compliments of my mother (Crazy Sue), while my height I can thank my father....err....maybe that skipped his generation. Well, if it didn't come from my Dad, I do think it came from that side- somewhere. So, thanks! My point being- everyone is bound to be a combination of their Mom & Dad's looks to some degree.

The thing I find funny is the personality traits & weird quirks that you inherit from your parents. What made me think of this was the fact that I am sitting on my couch writing this after I just rearranged my whole living room (Michael is going to be so excited when he gets home). I tend to rearrange some part of the house every few weeks, and this is definitely something that I got from Crazy Sue. I remember coming home from school - or waking up in the morning sometimes- to a whole new kitchen/living/dining room. Crazy Sue would get the creative urge, and instead of making a greeting card or baking a cake, she would move furniture. And I am not taking swapping out one picture for another on the mantel. She would take furniture that was in the living room to the dining room and vice versa. It was like a puzzle that could be fit together 20 different ways- and she was bound to do it ever way possible.

So, while I was pushing my couch from one side of the room to the other, I just burst out laughing. Partly because I am not sure if this new arrangement is going to work, and secondly, because my Mom would be so proud that she passed this onto me. Oh Crazy Sue!! I guess there are worse things I could have gotten from my Mom- like how she says "roll-y-coaster" instead of "rollercoaster." Michael is going to go bonkers when he gets home, but I guess that's what he gets for being gone on a Saturday when I am feeling 'inspired.'

So, now, I will enjoy this new set up- until I come up with an even better one in my head.

Just so everyone knows- this musical lifestyle is re-enforced every week when I watch Glee

Where Is My Backround Music?!

I am shocked that I haven't shared with ya'll the fact that I wish my life was like a musical. And I am being 100% serious. Sometimes, when I walk down the street or am in a certain moment in time- I think it would be 100% appropriate for some background music to que in, or to be able to break out in song like a Broadway Show.

Do you know what I mean? Like, sometimes, I am walking to work, fresh off the T MUNI, and am feeling great about the day ahead of me. The sun is shinning (rare here in SF) and it seems SO fitting for a song to slowly crescendo while I walk down the street so I can strut my stuff down 3rd Street and walk right into Yelp.

Now, I know that I can't be the only person to think this. I know that everyone has had that moment in their life, when they have done something great and just feel the need for the Rocky theme song to start blasting in the background.

And if I am the only person that thinks like this, well, I am ok with that too. But, I have a strong feeling that I am not the only one.....

TGIF!!

Oh. My. Goodness. Friday, you could not have come sooner. You know when you wake up on Tuesday and are CONVINCED that is has to be at least Thursday?! That was this week for me. I need some time to catch up and sleep! Plus, Michael was in Las Vegas for a work conference (I know, right?!) and so it was not as fun here as it normally is.

So, what is the best way to spend Friday night?! Just like we did- catching up on all out favorite shows that were DVRed (CSI, Grey's, SVU, etc), and Chinese food!!! We tried out a new (to us) place that was super tasty and I am not sitting here in a Chinese food coma, which is always a good sign! Sometimes, this is my favorite was to spend Friday night. Then it is like I have rested up for a good weekend and am ready for fun!

Anyways, no major plans for the weekend. Gonna head to the farmer's market for some fresh yummy fruits & veggies, dinner with a friend and maybe torturing myself with some football tomorrow. But, at least it will be with fun people. Well, that's all for now!

Introducing...Mornings on Muni

I have decided that now that we live in SF, BART tales would be few and far between. So, for your reading pleasure I'll try to do a morning segment I'll be calling "Mornings on MUNI.". Too many crazy things happen on public transportation not to share them with all of you. So, with no further adue...

I understand personal space may not be able to exist on a crowded bus or rail car. I know I will probably have to get too close for comfort to the dingy looking man getting his nap on the T-train. BUT, there is NO reason for personal space not to be allowed on a wide open platform. So, to the mother and her child who felt It necessary to practically lean on me yesterday at the 4th & King station - please allow me 3 minutes of platform breathing so that I can hold my breath until I get off at my station. Thanks.

Whatevs...

Sorry, I am not regular. With blogging - get your head out of the gutter!! Sitting outside of Michael's karate school waiting for Michael so that we can head to sushi and see a movie! I am so excited for sushi - not even that I am that adventurous in my raw fish consumption, but I love sushi!!

And then, we are going to the movies - either Extract of Julie & Julia - depends on who wins the battle I guess, me or Michael. I'll report back. It is gorgeous weather today, and I was able to get some color on my pasty skin!! So exciting!

Just wanted to say hello to all and wish you a wonderful weekend! Enjoy the rest and the people around you!!

xoxo and much love,
