here kitty kitty kitty.

tonight, i dressed up as a black cat for halloween.
i know... pretty original. ha. but it was a last minute decision to actually dress up and go out.
so my friend carol let me borrow her ears and tail from last year, and i just wore a black leotard [found in the children's section since all mine are in fallon.] and a pair of leggings.
i'm actually glad that i made the effort to dress up though. it was pretty fun to be festive.

i didn't stay out very long because i didn't know that many people at the party, so there wasn't much for me to do, and i felt bad making james stay with my the whole night. so it was a short little outing for me.

it was kind of funny because some of james' friends don't know that i don't really drink, so they kept offering me a beer and each time they did, it just made me crave a glass of milk. i told james about it, and he thought it was fitting since i was dressed as a cat. ha. :]

james and his friends made really some good costumes. i have to say... i was pretty impressed with their handmade spartan costumes. there were 4 of them tonight, but i only managed to get a photo of danny and james together.

& & a couple other cool costumes i saw tonight:
- the ghostbusters. there were a couple of boys who made their own costumes... one was a friend i haven't talked to since 4th grade. how funny. anyway. they customized the jumpsuits with some logos and made really good packs to wear on their backs with lots of wires and big nerf guns. :]
- ninja turtles. there were 4 girls who did this. some of my friends were going to do this as well, so i don't think i idea was all too original, but the girls i saw tonight had green chair cushions for their shells! it was so prefect.
- dog the bounty hunter. there were two boys who both dressed up as him. i thought it was a pretty funny idea.

yeah. so those were the most impressive ones that i can remember seeing.

anyway. i need to get to bed so i can wake up and work on my ethics presentation before work. yikes. tomorrow will be a busy day.

oh. i finally did some cleaning of my scrap area today. i had taken over the coffee table in the living room... [ok. and part of the couch too.] so it was time to straighten things up a bit. i still have some orgainizing to do, but i made some good progress today. it feels pretty good.

and yesterday, i finished up my tags. i started them thursday night and finished about 37 of them before i ran out of the proper cardstock. it turns out, the store didn't have any either. :[ so i had to substitute another shade of teal, but it worked out. i just need to add a little velvet ric rac to the last 23 tags and they will be all done. i was so worried that i might not get them finished, so i'm glad they are pretty much out of the way. it's going to be a crazy busy week ahead.. ethics presentation, lab meeting presentation, and the rough draft of my thesis all before i leave for san antonio friday morning. eek. when will i pack!?
