Roads to Romance

I still can't get over this. I should've lived in this time, I swear! This is my beautiful town.

Scarves Scarves and More Scarves!

I have a huge obsession with scarves. It's just too bad the weather around here isn't always cool enough to wear them all. I keep seeing all these great scarves on Pinterest. I was knitting cowl scarves for adults and children for a while, but since I haven't had a lot of interest in them (except for giving them to family and friends) I've stopped knitting. I should pick it back up this season though, since it's the perfect kind of weather for it now.

Speaking of cold weather, I just uploaded a bunch of Christmas music to my iPod! I am so excited for the upcoming Holidays. So excited that I even wrote out my Christmas wish list, pictures included. A few Holiday travel plans are being put into effect - next weekend I get to brave the cold in Seattle to see my amazing boyfriend, then not too long after that I'll be going up to Carmel with my parents for Thanksgiving.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward
- Eating in the car on the way to class and not noticing I had food stuck to my sweater until I'm halfway through the class...
- Synching my iPod up with the new iOS 5 and the whole iCloud deal, only for it to not play music anymore.
- Getting sore from walking around the neighborhood with you're trick or treater on Halloween. For five hours.

Awesome
- Getting to drive dad's new test car of the week - a Hyundai Veloster. I call it the Velosaraptor. It has a Sweeet sound system and voice recognition.
- Girls night in. Chick flick included.
- my new glasses, duh.
- COLD weather and RAIN!!!!

The Weekend

So far I started my weekend off right...by baking until 10:30 at night on Friday. I decided that Blue Moon cupcakes were not enough for my friend's birthday potluck, so I made a batch of brownies that I cut with Halloween themed cookie cutters, and also roasted pumpkin seeds. Riley and I woke up and carved our pumpkins this morning, and I finished decorating the front porch with lights and spiderwebs. It was a pretty productive 24 hours. I figured this was the last hoorah before Halloween was over and I get crazy with the spirit of Thanksgiving and Christmas! I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!

Halloween Party

So a couple weeks ago a friend of mine threw a Halloween party at her house. We collected all sorts of cute ideas from blogs and pinterest and found the majority of our cute stuff at our favorite spot - Target. The party turned out super cute and the food was amazing!

Awkard and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward:
- Me posting this at the end of Thursday, but at least it's still Thursday, right??
- Out on the job and an unexpected visitor arrives. Ahem....the female kind that is. And I'm not prepared.
- All the adults dressed up all cool in their costumes at Farmers Market tonight, except me. The one who usually dresses up for any opportunity. Lame :(
- wearing a sorta see through shirt under my sweater to class yesterday...then having to take off my sweater and try on a muslin shirt to create my bodice pattern...should've worn something else apparently because I felt almost naked.


Awesome:
- Got my new glasses today! Woohoo!
- Taking Riley trick-or-treating at our Farmer's Market. And the stores STILL had candy when we went! (Unlike last year)
- Trader Joe's Pumpkin Ice Cream. YUM!
- Halloween TV specials....then next, CHRISTMAS SPECIALS!!!
- This awesome chilly but not too chilly weather we've been having. It's a rotation of 65 and 70 over here.
- Drinking more tea. Instead of coffee and soda.

Waiting Around

Since I am patiently (ha!) waiting to go into my next copy job, I decided to play around with the features on my Vignette camera app. They have all the filters of vintage cameras and you can even select "random" to use different filters without going back to change each one. I took these ones on random and they came out pretty cool!
