Our Crazy Pumpkin

Hrm... two posts in one day.. I'm setting a new record!

Here's a photo of our pumpkin. My sister was supposed to carve something elaborate (she wanted to do Homer Simpson's head) but she found out I had lost my pumpking carving kit, and was too lazy to go out and buy one. Actually, I went out to buy one for her, but after an hour of searching, I gave up. We found out that Walmart sold one, but she said it was too far... so this is what she came up with (All done by free-hand. Can you tell?!?! haha):

Our Home - The Foundation

Jimmy and I went to check out the progress of our home yesterday and this is what we saw:









We're quite excited! They started putting up the wooden frames for the houses right across the stree from ours, and we know their closing dates are in June (ours is in May) so hopefully that means they're going to do that to our house soon! We have an appointment with our builder in 2 weeks to do our decor selections. I'm a little nervous about that because we're not too sure what we want, and we don't want to go over by too much with our upgrades (we're allowed $10K in upgrades, we already spent $3,000 on some electrical/structural upgrades already).

I still can't believe this is our house!

I'm Too Old For This!

Mood: Sick & hung over!

Happy birthday to me! I'm 27 today! Boy do I feel old... esp since I've recovering from a cold and a hang over. Not fun. I'm hopped up on Neo Citran right now, so my ramblings might not make sense.

So another year has gone by. By this time next year I'm going to be married (9 more months to plan this wedding! oh man!). My last birthday being a un-married gal has definitely been a memorable one. Last night I hit up Devil's Martini to celebrate my birthday with my birthday buddy Saloni and a whole bunch of people. I woke up with a cold yesterday morning, but I was determined to go out that night (since I had invited all these ppl to come out and celebrate with me.. I had to go!) I'm so glad my friends were able to come out to celebrate with me! I don't know how many drinks I had, although I do remember one nasty Prarie Fire shot Saloni gave me (oooh so not fun! I'm gonna have to get you back for that one Saloni!). I managed to puke twice (eww.. not fun either!).. and I remember waking up this morning at 7am and I still felt drunk. Hahaha I had way too much to drink! I'm getting to old for this. I think next year I'm going to go for something more low key.

Here are some pictures from last night (embarassing photos included). Thanks again for everyone that came out (and that didn't, because I know you guys were there in spirit!). I definitely had a blast!

I Hate Halloween

Time: 11:27pm
Mood: Sleepy

I hate halloween. I really do.

My birthday is this coming Saturday and I really wanted to go out and celebrate it with my friends b/c last year I didn't have a chance to do that. Last year, I was in Suzhou, China.. I spent the whole day sight-seeing.. in the rain. The only good thing was I was with Jimmy. So this year I really wanted to go out and do something on my actual birthday. It's not every year your birthday lands on a Saturday. But I'm cursed.

My birthday is so close to halloween, that every alcohol-serving establishment that I like going to is celebrating halloween this weekend. Not only that, most of my friends have prior commitments to go to halloween parties. I hate competing with what is not even a national holiday.

It also sucks having people dress up like freaks for your birthday. Sure, it's fun the first couple of times.. but every year? While people have nice, fancy birthday get-togethers, I usually have a goblin-filled shin-dig.

And all that candy you get. Don't get me wrong.. I love candy.. esp those mini chocolate bars (I bought 2 bags of mini Caramilk bars the other day...)... but I've become a chocolate fiend. I got home today and demolished 5 little chocolate bars within a 2 minute span. That's disgusting.

*sigh*... ok I'm done venting...
