Halloween

Last night was definitely an event-filled evening. It was trick or treat night in Norwalk so my nieces got dressed up and went out for halloween.



Here is mom with Abby. Abby went as rapunzel. Unfortunately, Abby came over at the tail end of her trick or treating and she was beat. She is the type that won't walk when she can run so I imagine she spent the first hour and a half running. Plus, it was now approaching her bedtime!



This is me with Olivia (firefighter) and Isablle (Hannah Montanna). We got them before they went trick or treating so they were bouncing off the walls with excitement.



This is Isabelle showing off her best Hannah Montanna moves. Go Hannah! Go Hannah!



And this is my mom with Isabelle and Olivia.

Update: I was able to get my shelves together with some help from my mom. They weren't too bad and I still have my hair! Bonus!

Woohoo!

I got sick and tired of looking at bare walls and emptiness. I ordered these shelves and they came today. I sure hope I can put them together without pulling my hair out. :) HA!

My Weekend

This Saturday my ex came up for a visit. He offered to help me with some chores around my place that required either a.) heavy lifting or b.) the use of tools. For the most part this wouldn't be too note worthy, except for two things.....

1. I discovered I do in fact scream like a girl at the site dead animals. I honestly thought I was cool, too. About 4 years ago while getting out of my ex's car, I discovered a live snake within a matter of a few feet from me. He was arched up and looking directly at me. I did not scream. I was cool, calm and collected. This weekend, while assembling shelves in the garage, I discovered a dead frog. I had good reason to believe it was dead too, since I could hardly make out what it was because of the decomposition. I screamed. I even did a little dance, no joke.

2. While driving back from dinner Saturday night, it occurred to me that my ex may want to see my niece. I say this because next to mom and dad, he might be her favorite person. He certainly has me beat, but then again he bribes her with m&m's. I digress. He was excited at the possibility. When I called my sister, she told us Abby was down for the night as she had not had a nap that day. We were both bummed.

Who wouldn't be upset if they missed this? She's simply precious!

I'm back

I realize it has been awhile since I have posted. Truth is I’ve been going through a transition period. I have officially moved into my new place. Yes, I know that was two and a half months ago, but owning your own place is hard work. I’m still battling the decorating. To put it best my decorating leaves a little to be desired. Clearly my inability to make a decision is pretty apparent.

Work has been super busy. I work for two attorneys who practice real estate law and from how work has been you would never know the housing market has slowed down. I’ve decided to take a day off this coming Friday. I need a mental health day. Plus, I haven’t had a day off in over 4 months, besides the weekends of course. Thank God for those or I would have been committed by now.

In addition to work and settling in, I have about three ongoing projects. I hope to have one done in the next few weeks and hope to have a picture up for everyone to see. Until then, it’s top secret.

I hope you all are having a great Monday!
