Day 35

Happy Halloween!

OK, I know I had something special for my post tonight, but originally what I was going for was a font that looked creepy and gothic and kind of spooky. Like the writing you'd see on a Haunted House. But I couldn't find a good font because they all looked too ordinary. So forget that special thing about the Halloween post.

Today, however, was fun. I went trick-or-treating with my brother, sister-in-law, niece, and his friend and had a pretty good time. Afterward I stayed at his place for pizza and had a hard lime drink. Mike's Hard Lime, to be exact. Then when I got home I watched The Time Traveler's Wife on my Netflix. I'm not one to watch a horror movie marathon on Halloween. I've seen a few horror movies.

And tomorrow, I'm going to miss Halloween. I love holidays because you do the things you normally don't get to do everyday. Halloween is the one day when an adult can dress up like whatever they want (unless they're an actor for a living), Thanksgiving is the day to fill up on dinner (in the evening, of course) and not eat anything for another week, Christmas is all about gifts, shopping, movies, singing, and let's not forget our friends, New Years is when you want to party all night and do something awesome as the new year starts (The minute 2010 started, I was on the IMDb trivia page for John Travolta), Valentines Day is the time to go out on a date with your loved one or stay home and eat chocolate while watching a chicky flick (for the single ones), and Fourth of July is the best. It's America's birthday.

As Thanksgiving nears, I'll tell stories of past Thanksgivings. Maybe a week before I'll begin with stories.

Happy Halloween to my potential readers. Sorry I thought I had something special planned, but I couldn't find the font I was looking for.

Day 34

Today was a fun day.

It's my sister-in-law's birthday. We went out for dinner at stir-fry restaurant and then to another one for dessert.

I gave her some earrings, scented soaps, and barrettes. She's really into accessories. And since she's a baker, she got a Latin cookbook and some baking equipment. Even Halloween cookie cutters. My niece got a little visibly sick at dessert if you know what I mean.

And I'm going to go trick-or-treating with her and my brother tomorrow, too. I also have a special blog post for tomorrow. Or today at least as it's 12:05 AM, but I finished watching Saturday Night Live with host Jon Hamm.

It really is a fun weekend and I love Halloween. On Monday, I'm going to be sad it's over. But I will have more Halloweens in the future.

I also have a special blog post for tomorrow.

Day 33

I forgot to post the last two nights. That's a first. It turns out the past two nights were fun.

Wednesday, I interned, then came home to watch a Halloween night on ABC. Same with last night for NBC.

Thursday, I even bought some earrings for my sister-in-law's birthday this Saturday. They looks like red discs with letters that dangle in front of them. "G" and "B". Her initials. One is a "G" and the other is a "B". Clever. I also got her some soap from a while ago and some barrettes.

Today I treated myself to lunch at Baker Square and some pie. Of course, the pie. Lemon Supreme. One can't go to Baker Square and not get any pie. Like Denny's. Then watched a movie version of the musical Gypsy with Bette Midler as the main role of Rose.

I haven't seen that video for a while and it still doesn't top Chicago being my favorite movie. As I always say "It still doesn't top Chicago, and I don't think anything will." That's usually for movies I'm seeing for the first time. The video of Gypsy, I've seen a few times before.

Currently listening: "Bailamos" -Enrique Iglesias (I got so into it today that as UI was listening to 93.9 THE LITE, I just had to know the song. So I got it on my iTunes and had it in my head all day. Why haven't I heard it in the last 10 years?)

Day 32

Today was kind of a rough one.

This morning was fine. I didn't have to go to my internship because I heard that there were weather watches and it was very windy today. Like really windy. So I decided to watch some Bewitched on DVD. I love that show. While putting my dog in his cage, I got bitten in the wrist and started shedding blood and using swear words. And I was so pissed off, that I couldn't even laugh with the show.

I don't know if some of you have that feeling when you're mad and you're watching something funny and you don't have the will to laugh.

But I got over it. Then when dinner came, I made a kind of vinegar that I started making lately. A recipe calls for either Red Wine Vinegar or Balsamic. I prefer red wine. And it also calls for soy sauce. But I don't like soy products, so I use Worchestershire sauce. It still works. And some Dijon Mustard, Pepper, and some a few others things I can't remember. And then I add some olive oil later after the others are mixed. But this time I forgot the olive oil. I usually put that sauce thing on green beans and they were too Dijon Mustard-y. Olive oil sweetens it fairly or makes it tangy.

And then making room in the basement as I have workers working down there. Which is why my dog bit me is because they were passing through the house.

It all got better with the Rocky Horror Glee Show and the new Raising Hope show, which is kind of good.

Day 31

Slow day.

OK, today started out fine. I straightened up a bit.

But later in the morning, I went to my computer and updated a lot of things I thought I lost this past month. After that crash back in early September. Which means, I can get back to my photography blog. I couldn't update it because the photos were saved on my computer.

Then some leftover tacos for lunch, then more computer stuff.

Tonight, on my Netflix, I got some Saturday Night Live sketches of Halloween-themed sketches. I got it in the mail today. And it was the old SNL stuff, like from the days when Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider were on. Like late '80s to early '90s. There were even some sketches that I didn't know were frequent characters, too. And it was really funny. I saw hosts like John Travolta, Neve Campbell, and some others.

Currently listening: "These are my People" -Trace Atkins, then "I Wanna be Moved" -Ginny Owens

Day 30

Got my computer up and working again. The documents left on my computer that were not backed up are saved and I can get access to them.

Other than that, today was a pretty good day. Worked on AntiVirus pr4otection stuff, worked on the writing I got recovered, and had an informal football party. I don't like football, but I did hear a lot of yelling coming from the room with the TV.

I guess the Bears lost. And Chicago had many winning streaks in the past. Oh, well. We'll bounce back soon.

Day 29

Busy day.

I did some cleaning today and worked in the kitchen.

But this afternoon was long. I had a computer that was just sitting on my desk in my bedroom and not working. So I got to finally fixing it today by backing files up and putting it back together.

It may not seem like it took long, but for a while today, I was thinking "God, how much longer will this take". It was sooooo boring.

But as of tonight, it's back up and working and tomorrow, I'll work on getting my internet and starting a virus protection.
