Pennies and Screams

An impromptu Rocky and Bullwinkle 

Halloween outfit.

Happy Halloween everyone! I feel like most of the festivities took place this weekend; I know all the dressing up and socializing I did was on Friday and Saturday, but I wish you all a safe and fun Halloween this Monday. If you were wondering what I was for Halloween 2011, I found some antlers and put on a brown shirt and a pair of brown pants I had and was Bullwinkle; Nikki got an aviator hat and got a grey dress and was Rocky. All that was missing were a couple of Russians spies. To be honest, peolpe at first thought we were a just a deer and an Amelia Earhart, but once we told them what we were supposed to be everyone thought it was cute.

Right now I am waiting patiently in the living room anticipating little trick-or-treaters to come by. So far nobody has made an appearance, but there are a few hours left in the night. I did have a scare earlier today - my phone was dead. It turned out it just needed to be charged. But it is really depressing eye-opening to realize how dependent I am on that phone. I might treat myself in a bit and go see a movie, The Rum Diaries.

So besides today being Halloween, it is also the last day of October. I like to take the time and reflect on this past month. So what happened in October - I assumed more responsibilities at work and at home (paying for cable and internet). I got a chance to volunteer and give back to  my community. I got to really just kick back and enjoy life (and football). And of course I started this blog and have stuck with it thus far. What I would like to see more from myself - In general I would like to see myself follow through with things. See out project ideas for work. I would like to finish reading a few books - Chrome Yellow (Huxley) and A Season in Purgatory (Dunne). I would like to finish learning Russian "puts cameloute". And, of course, I would like to see this blog continue to grow.

Lots still to do!

-Cheers
