BOO!

Halloween is here and once again I do not know how it snuck up on me. True I've been busy but I'm always using that excuse these days. I had some great costume ideas but not the time or finances to put them together. I carved a Jack O'lantern that has slowly been nibbled on every night by some local wildlife. I worked the whole weekend and today. I didn't get to see the niece and nephew dress up, hand out candy or even just give someone a good scare. We did get a chance to watch a few classic silent film horror movies such as The Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Nosferatu!

Oh, and I kinda gave half-hearted attempts at dressing up at work for the weekend. My most popular costume was my normal work attire - company shirt, name tag, etc - and a pair of butterfly wings. Every see the little girls running around with fairy, or butterfly wings strapped to their back? I did that. I got many different reactions.

(Reposted from my social network page.)
'You're a fairy,' said this cute little girl noticing my butterfly wings.
'No, I'm a butterfly,' I replied. 'I'd look pretty silly as a fairy, wouldn't I?'
She paused, opened her mouth to speak, paused again and then said, 'Um, you still kinda look silly.'

Tomorrow is November, the holidays will be here before we know it, and hopefully we'll be enjoying our little present soon. I'll try and post again before that happens.

I Should Also Add...

...That a year ago I was nowhere near being ready to have a child. I'm still not as ready as I'd like to be. But ready or not we have 6 weeks left until this baby makes its grand entrance. Much has changed in a year, and I'm betting that the year ahead will be full of even more changes!

A Year Ago...

The worst thing about my job was my commute. Nowadays, the best thing about my job is the commute.

Maybe I've Been Working Too Hard!

'Obama put troops in Africa. You didn't know?'

'You've heard about these Wall Street protests, right?'

'Guess you saw that Ghadafi was killed?'

NOPE! I didn't know, I hadn't heard and and I haven't seen! I've been getting up and hitting the grindstone pretty hard the last month or so and realized I really hadn't taken the time to sit down and watch a news program. I think I'll spend tomorrow, before I have to head into work, catching up on some current events. Oh, and I should also try to get more done on the baby's room - 7 weeks to go!

I should be working on cleaning out the room, setting up the room and getting the room ready for Baby Cobb but I took a little time to record a message.
