October is here! October is my favorite time of the year. It brings giant pumpkins like so:
I can't wait to carve these like last year's. So much fun. October also brings monsters. Check these out:
Why yes, those are scary bobbles. Why yes they are special Halloween edition bobbles of Star Wars characters. How fun is that? We have zombie Stormtrooper, werewolf Chewbacca and evil Yoda. I am just missing Darth Vadar, but I will get him this weekend.
In other news, remember when I saw that werewolf walking down the street? Well, he looked kind of like Chewbacca up there. Also I saw him again while on the phone with my mom so now she can vouch for me. Well, she didn't see him but she did hear me scream "IT IS THE WEREWOLF GUY BUT THIS TIME HIS SHIRT IS CLOSED." Hell, I think werewolf guy heard me. In fact, I can almost guarantee this since I saw him yesterday walking down the street carrying a gas can and he looked RIGHT AT ME even though I was far away. I am not sure yet what this means.
Other things that have happened since October began? The temperature dropped like crazy. We are freezing. Yet it is October so we don't want to turn on the heat. Hell, even I think it is too early. I am now attempting to keep warm by candlelight. Guess what? That doesn't work. At all. Good thing it is supposed to be 80 on Saturday. Damn weather.
I also got a speeding ticket. First one in MANY years and second one ever. Yes, I did have an immediate thought of running again, but decided against it. Maybe in 15 more years I won't even think about running. Ha. Also, could you give a girl a break? Apparently no. I wanted to shout I AM A GOOD DRIVER!!! But since I got pulled over that wouldn't seem entirely true would it?
I also had a first in my professional career the other day. A deposition in a church. I have had some strange deps in my life (a post should really be done on that), but a church? I had visions of the videographer aiming toward the altar and the witness seated under a giant cross with Jesus insuring she told the truth. Then I somehow turned that into a haunted church and walked around the house with a blanket over my head telling B that I was going to depose a ghost. He looked at me like I was nuts, but who decided the next morning to talk about how difficult the dep would be if the person just kept saying "Booooo"? That is why we are in love people.
Speaking of ghosts, my main computer might have died. B thinks I killed it. Perhaps because two others have gone to premature graves. I know that I am the common denominator but it is an Apple! It is not like I am running around getting viruses and things. One has to wonder though, why do the computers just happen to break AFTER the warranty expires?
Riddle me that, people.

sprinkles - that is quite the score! YAY!
Katelin - thanks, girl. We are going to have to be more creative this year and out do ourselves :)
Just after you posted this, it got very warm and beautiful out. How about in mid-January you complain about the freezing weather and maybe we'll get another nice stretch of weather right after??
And you guys have big pumpkins again this year?? Why didn't I know this?? I feel like I have been in the dark about all this!!
Jennifer - I will schedule a complaint post for mid-January to stave off winter. Let's see if that works. B did grow big pumpkins this year, apparently secretly because I didn't know about them until he brought them home. Jersey barked at him from the window. I thought she might be against big pumpkins but it turns out she is against people coming to our front door.
