halloween weekend

so i'm pretty much lovin life right now. ok, not just pretty much. i am lovin life. i'm having a great time and have been back to a bubbly, smiley, happy personality.


here's the rundown of this past weekend, which was highly enjoyable. 


friday afternoon (after class, of course) i relaxed. if i remember correctly, i either napped or watched movies or bones episodes. or any combination. then i went to watch the first harry potter movie being shown at seminary in one of the high tech classrooms. then walked over to my former abode, bockman hall, to enjoy rock band. it was weird to be back in the dorm after being gone for a year and a half. to be walking around halls that are familiar and yet being unable to walk in the stairwells cause i'd be locked out. things have changed. but j made delicious food and d had a new keyboard for rockband, so it was a good time. and i left sometime around midnight because i was tired. it was getting to be a long day. that or i'm getting old.


saturday. slept in til 9:30. which may seem late to some but i had been hoping for 10-11 am to be my wake-up hour. watched more tv and movies (common theme in my current life, in case you haven't noticed). realized just after the rally to restore sanity ended that it was on. so i missed it. sad day... but i went over to the other dorm, stub, for pizzas and fun times with friends. we had a game of hangman going on. halloween themes, which included pop culture (witches, vampires, songs). then a bit o bananagrams. and i was surprised that i managed to win a couple rounds. also watched others make and decorate sugar cookies. felt old once again because i was tired by 8:30. but managed to stay up til 10:30.


sunday. woke up at 7:30 to get ready for church since i was told to meet at 8:45. turned out that jess (who i had to drive and pick up) and i were ready before the three boys. and had to wait around about an hour since the one who wasn't ready by 8:50 wasn't ready because the meeting time was supposed to be 9:45. which is a big difference. then went to church to celebrate reformation day. and will probably not go to that church, which is for all intents and purposes catholic with a little bit of martin luther tossed in. including the incense and kneeling while behind the altar for holy communion. ate at panera (delish). went to kohl's a bought a twins shirt. spent the afternoon watching bones. oh, how i love that tv show. so fascinating. also lxd (league of extraordinary dancers) which was both fascinating and disturbing. few words and a lot of amazing dancing. extraordinary dancing. also watched new in town, which is really cute. don't always like renee zellweger, but i love harry connick jr. and the fact that it was in minnesota complete with the awesome accent that exists in pockets of the state. 


in the midst of all my tv watching and food making in the evening, there were also trick-or-treaters. so i passed out chocolate. cause chocolate should be passed out on halloween. actually i chose my candy based on one criteria: would i eat the leftovers? 


and i said yes to chocolate. because no halloween is complete without chocolate. 


nor was halloween complete without seeing little kids dressed up. and there were some cute outfits. even some older kids dressed up. some didn't, but they had fun going around and collecting candy. so i gave them some.


but i'm okay with the fact that hallowwen is over. cause it also means that october is over. which means that november has started. 


i love november. best. month. ever.
