Whoa, watch the pretzels!

The weekend has passed too fast.

And now I can't believe it's November. Before we know it snow will be on the ground. The only good thing about cold weather is the accessories. I look good in hats, but they leave hat hair. So I guess the bad cancels out the good?

At the Halloween party I attended I was a witness to Chex mix/pretzel abuse.

Seriously.

The Hostess of the party lost her ipod. She accused her multiple guests of taking it. When she realized she wasn't going to get answers she started cleaning. This cleaning involved consolidation of snack foods. Unfortunately, the pretzels reminded her of the ipod and she threw them into the Chex mix. It was quite dramatic.

And very comical.

But then I was scolded for laughing.

Gosh, some people are really attached to material possessions.

Look at the apple pie I made:


It is so yummy. I love making pies! I wish you all could partake in the cinnamony goodness.

Ten Inches Tall

Today I felt very Metropolitan.

I left work fairly early.

Ran to the market and picked up the makings for a delicious dinner. (Chicken and pasta pesto with garlic biscuits and cheap wine).

I caught a bus and actually grabbed a seat.

All was going well.

Then I tried to cross the street.

And fell down.

Like a little kid.

And scraped my knees.

Luckily the bottle of wine was ok.

Now I'm getting drunk on cheap wine.

Some days, that's all you can do...

Another Round!

I am the proud owner of a VEHB. That's right. I broke down and bought myself a bag from the VEHBD. Meet Julianne:


Ah, it is so nice! And the smell! Oh, I love the smell of leather!

I also have someone else I would like you to meet:

I have decided to call him Howard. He has been hanging on my window screen all day. Why? Good question, I have no idea why. At first I thought he was a leaf.

Tomorrow I have the day off. I have a list a mile long of things that need to be done. Number one being "Find a new job". Wish me luck!

When it rain and rain and rain and rain

I can't believe it! I found the Youtube channel of the guy who stood in front of me at the Mika concert. I know it's him because he was so tall that I mainly watched his camera instead of the actual stage.





I love his new stuff as much as his first album!

In other news, the creativity bug got me today. So here's what I did:




I made pj bottoms! They are so cozy!!!

P.S. Thanks for the texts and messages of support!

Where is the “good” in goodbye?

Today's post was going to focus on the Mika concert I went to last night. I planned on giving all of you details and pictures.

But, as we all know, life happens and this entry is about something entirely different.

I have sad news.

My dog, Maggie, has passed away. She would have been 13 years old this coming month. A good long life for a good dog. Oh, how I will miss her crazy barking, and annoying way of pushing you if you didn't pay attention to her.

We Are Golden

The Mika concert was AMAZING!!!!!!!!

All I can say that if you get a chance to see him live you must! He is so fun and energetic!





Happy Birthday Toi!!!

So Close...

The postman dropped off my packages today.

They are now locked behind the management office door.

I received a note in my post office box telling me I had two packages waiting to be picked up in the office.

Why is nobody ever in the office?



In happier news, I have tickets to see Mika on the 20th!!! I am so excited. I just need to find something cute to wear. I was thinking of my green dress, you know the one I bought in Boston. I could wear it with my new boots and leggings. That's right. I now own leggings. I blame it on this city. I was, and still am against leggings as pants, but they make a great substitute for tights on the really cold, windy city days.
