Here Lies an Unused Halloween Costume

Every year for Halloween, I stress over what Im going to be and what Im going to do. I think for months about what I can pull off, what I can put together and what unique costume I can come up with. I try to make plans to go to a party or gathering that will be the most fun. I think I stress out over Halloween more than any other holiday. Halloween must be perfect!

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love dressing up and being able to look like a goof without it being weird and most of the population joining me. Its fun to go out and see everyone trying to be someone else. Guessing costumes and making friends based on what they've dressed up as. Its so fun. The decorations and the festivities are so great! Its such an awesome holiday, the best holiday.

This year I didn't think I would be doing much considering Im away from friends (minus my awesome co-workers!) and family but I still rummaged around for something I could put together in case something were to come up. I found some of the most awful Mickey mouse inspired clothing and thought, hmm why not channel my inner traveler in the most extreme sense and be a cliché disney tourist. I do have to say that it was a pretty good costume for just rummaging around.

It sat on my chair in the hopes of being used.

Halloween weekend is here and Ive spent most of my Saturday sitting on the couch watching Charmed. I slept in till 11 and only enjoyed this heat wave to say hi to our animals. So, no halloween party for me but Im having some much needed relaxing time. Hopefully monday my coworkers and I are heading into the city to do a haunted house. Not exactly my perfect Halloween weekend but Im doing my best! Pumpkin carving coming tomorrow!

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

Longest Day Ever

This is the longest day of my life. Literally. No, like actually literally. Or maybe a bunch of the shortest days of my life...anyway... We started off in Wisconsin, not early but it wasn't leisurely either. Then the bus to the airport in Chicago where we were to catch our first flight to shanghai. When we checked in we were informed that we were given an illegal flight through china on our way back home. Apparently you can't even have a layover in an airport for longer than 24 hours in China. The airline was nice about it and helped us in anyway they could but they told us we would have to call our booking agency because it was their fault, not the airline itself. Good thing we gave ourselves plenty of time in the airport because we needed all of that time to figure it out. I called the company that gave us our tickets and the first thing the gentleman said was that we would have to pay a change fee on top of the price for the new ticket. I was not happy with that so I inquir...
