Well now that my little goo is expired I can mention how our Halloween party went. I think it went OK. A few people knew who we were pretending to be. I think Darrin looks particularly convincing as the New Number 2. I guess I am glad that not *everyone* in the world got the goo :-). It was supposed to say, "This goo is not number 1118" as I wanted to avoid using the phrase "not a number" to make it just a tiny bit less obvious, but we can chalk that phrasing difference up to my inability to communicate.

Here we are. By the way, a highly budget-conscious person should never purchase a fleece scarf for $6 when they can instead go to Walmart and have the fleece cut to the desired width for an instant scarf for less than a dollar, as we did :P. Need I mention how much I hate pictures of myself? I think not. I'm sure everyone realizes that about me already.

If you mean the guy on "the" right rather than "my" right, we thought ourselves that he kind of looks like George Washington :P. That is Darrin (with the scarf and umbrella) as number 2. The one in the white-edged blazer is my husband Darrell as Number 6.

HAHAHA... I'm glad I wasn't the only one -- I was hesitant to say anything, but "George Washington" was *exactly* what I was thinking... ;-D

I still think those outfits turned out pretty darn cool. Well done, Denise. :-)

I love waking up early

I got up before 5, took a shower, did a bunch of my fun and addictive getting-free-stuff-on-the-internet activities, had breakfast, and went and found some treasures in Kameo, all before heading out to work at 7:50. That was awesome. We always go to bed before 10 anyway so what's the point hanging around in bed in the morning when I'm not tired. Go »

Adventures with food

So, Darrell is getting really into cooking lately so I got him a pasta machine and this weekend we used it for the first time.. OK I used it... and it was kinda fun! Go »

Drinks

We found a big 1.75 liter bottle of Absolut Apeach for $10 ... We didn't realize what a great special this was until we saw that the little 0.75 Go »

Bablyon 5 vs. Little House on the Prairie

Darrell is checking out a lot of Babylon 5 DVDs from the library lately. I watch it too when I get a chance. Anyway, perhaps it's because we're nuts, but we think that show has a bizarre number of parallels with Little House on the Prairie. Go »

Gross jelly beans

So, we all know I am a little juvenile for my age. We went and purchased some Beanboozled jelly beans a while back - the box comes with a mix of good flavors and disgusting flavors but you can't tell the difference until you eat them because the color is the same. I was apprehensive but most of the flavors I tried were really not that bad. Go »

Free stuff bandits

So we discovered that the limited edition "holiday" flavors of that Swiss chocolate are secretly on sale for 90% off... so we went and bought out all the gingerbread chocolate from the Target stores in Fargo and Moorhead, haha. We are so evil. Go »
