I wish it wasn't 11:25 PM because
I should be in bed. Very very soon though... So I've been sick
the past couple of days. I had to take off work. I had a fever,
head cold, etc. It wasn't much fun. Bah. But I had a nice weekend!
Friday night I cooked Yellow Chicken Curry with Sweet Potatoes.
It was AWESOME. So that dinner
was awesome, I cooked it for Adam, Summer, and Jason. Unfortunately,
I underestimated how complicated it was, and I was at least
an hour late serving my guests. Oh well. I'm making it again
this Friday, except this time I'm going to do most of the big
work the night before. Whew! Adam's friend Marc is coming into
town so It'll be Adam, Marc and I eating it this time. Mmm...
After that, Jason, Summer and I carved pumpkins. I made a
cat. Summer made a fancy pattern with leaves and little faces,
and Jason made a desert scene. It was REALLY cool. Maybe I
can get him to get some pictures of it. Summer went home after
pumpkin carving, and Jason and I played this VH1 Pop Up Video
game that my aunt gave my mom to give to me, apparently my
cousin left it behind when he moved to Texas. It was pretty
fun.
Saturday is when Summer and I were embarking on our costume
adventure. We decided we were going to be bunnies for Halloween.
So we went to the fabric store at eleven o'clock Saturday morning.
We bought all the materials we needed, and drove out to her
house to get to work. We spent 10 hours on Saturday working
on them. I took a break at one point to whip up some chili
and cornbread, while Summer continued to sew. We got a LOT
done. That night, Jason and I went uptown at midnight. It was
homecoming, so there were a bazillion people in town. We ran
into some friends at Tony's and hung out with them. Afterwards
I decided to host an impromptu afterhours party. It was just
the Jason, me, and the four people we met up with at Tony's,
and it only lasted about 45 minutes. But it was fun!
Sunday I went out to Summer's at one to work on the costumes
some more. Six hours later, we were DONE!!! They look AWESOME.
Mine is light gray and Summer's is dark gray.
There are only a couple last minute things we need to perfect,
such as making the tails stay on better, and adding lining
to the entire costume. Right now only the hood has lining.
Summer is in Vegas right now, but she's coming back on Saturday,
and on Sunday we're going to do the finishing touches. Of COURSE,
I will post more pictures, when I have pictures of both us
us, and pictures of us with some face paint on and stuff.
Eeeek I'm excited because this Saturday I get to go to a WEINER
ROAST!! It's a work thing, and it's going to be FUN. There
will be so much awesome food there, and I can't wait to pig
out! I loooove fall.
Oh,
I have some new pictures to show! In early September, a friend
of a family friend drove into Athens from Chicago.
She has hand-beaded and decorated her entire car, as a tribute
to her father! My whole family was out in the yard, staring.
It was unbelievable. There were a million different cool things
to look at. My uncle took a bunch of pictures of it.
