Halloween costumes and parties and shenanigans.. OHMY!
My friends and I like to do murder mystery parties. It all started when I saw pictures of Lory at a murder mystery party and I really wanted to try one. One day wall at Wal-mart, I discovered a box in the board game section, a murder mystery party! I bought it and immediately Trina and I put together the shindig. We liked it a lot but didn’t do another one for over six months. Then this year, a whole year later, Trina put together another party during July. Afterwards I realized how much I really like doing them and decided to throw one this fall.
I’ve decided to host one for Halloween and I’ve picked one that happens to have a lot of “monster” type characters, I figured those would be the easiest to get cheap costumes around Halloween.
So far things are going well, the hardest part is getting people’s schedules lined up, thank goodness I have a lot of friends because I am having to go down a list.
I’m also trying to make my Halloween costume. That’s right, make. I’ve wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz for years but the costume was so expensive! Of course making it will be pretty close, but I think I’ll end up saving some money in the long run. Gray and I went to Hobby Lobby tonight to find a pattern and I got lucky! It actually came in a set of five Halloween costumes for girls, both little and big. I sure hope I have a daughter someday to put some of these others into good use.
This week has been going by fast, probably because it’s only a four day week. Today turned out to be much better than I thought it would be. Although Steve Jobs did not announce a new iPod touch with camera (bummer), I did win a 4GB flash drive and I did my gram +/gram – stains perfectly in lab! Last week’s lab was pretty awful, I sucked at what I was doing, but today I got it right! Yes! I also had to call my old pediatrician today to try and get my immunizations records for nursing school. I can’t believe that in three months I will know whether or not I got in for the spring semester!
On a sad note, a co-worker has the H1N1 virus which means it’s probably a matter of days before I get infected. Maybe there will be mercy on me because I’ve already had the flu once this year… maybe. Of course there was the one time when everyone got sick at Encounter except for Lory and I, basically. I remember that we covered ourselves in hand sanitizer because Gray and Meghan were both sick. haha The good old days.
This weekend I plan on working on my costume and going to the state fair, hooray! We went ahead and bought cheap tickets and the ride wristband from Kroger. Last year we only spent a hour at the fair because we ran out of money… it was a bummer because the rides are so much fun! We’re going either Friday night or Saturday during the day, depending on the weather. We’re also planning on going to the football game… MTSU vs Memphis. Not to mention, we’re signed up for A-Team (sets up church and tears it down) this Sunday.
When did I get such a busy social life? I don’t ever remember being this busy in the spring. Oh well, I like it when the weeks fly by.

I am so jealous that you are going to the fair and went last year! I haven't been since Freshman year, but before college it was a yearly thing for me and my dad. I hate that Chad doesn't like stuff like that, so he won't go with me. And everyone at works swears by the Wilson county fair, which I missed.
haha. i totally expected to get sick after our 8 hour car ride with two infected people. funny to look back on it now…but it was pretty tramatic for me at the time.
i'm going on 17 years without throwing up…i wonder how much longer i'll be able to go…
Why spend all that time working on a costume when all the online distributors are discounting them…HUGE !!

Um, because back when I made it, costumes were expensive… and here I get one custom fit for me that I actually made… so much better than buying one.
