Halloween

This year, I felt like I had to be dragged to any/all Halloween festivities. Why? I have no idea. Other than I think my friend Bethany summed it up nicely: Halloween was way more fun when we were little. :) Or...at least it seemed to have more of a purpose. Candy, candy, and more candy. :) We had a great little work get-together with some of the best chili I have eaten in a VERRRY long time, and I successfully got donut icing in my eye during the donut-eating contest. Clearly that takes talent. :)
In other Halloween events, I did manage to get dragged to our ward halloween party by my very persistently social and stubbornly involved roommate, Shallie. :) (That's a compliment, Shall!) It was fun. I just absolutely did not care this year. Agh. Lame, I know. But I didn't feel lame about it! I did what I wanted to do. Which was practically nothing. :) It was a long week at work, so on the actual halloween night, I came home and watched "what not to wear" and "she's the man." I feel that was enough people getting dressed up in one night. :) Mehehehe...I usually care. Really. At least enough to put forth some real effort...like the year my roommates and I decided to absolutely destroy our hair and be treasure trolls. :) That was probably my favorite halloween costume of all time. And no, we did not go naked with little jewels on our tummies. Gimme a break! Khaki pants and skin-colored shirts complete with a jewel-shaped foam cut-out safety-pinned to my skin-colored shirt covered tummy. :) Thank you very much. :) I don't think my hair has ever been so ratted, pink, or high before. Or since. :) Ah, but it was fun!

Have I ever told you that I love how you write? You just have such a great/funny/creative way of putting things :) I love it!
Ah yes, that was a great Halloween costume wasn't it?! I'm pretty sure I had a headache for DAYS after having a kitchen CUP on top of my head with my hair piled around it :) Good times, good times.
Oh how I miss you! I'm going to be in Utah this weekend...it's packed full of family things, but I at least want to see you! You gonna be around? I'll call ya :)
