this is halloween

It is my favorite time of the year...Halloween. And Don't worry, I am starting it off right. I have already watched nightmare before christmas and hocus pocus twice!



I have quite a few treats and even some tricks in store this year so don't go too far!

PS I am looking for some great costume ideas...so anyone with ideas, please send them my way.

tetanus and railroad tracks

A week ago this past thursday, I went out on a blind date where I eneded up stepping on not one, but two rusty nails, one on each foot. One may ask how one would have this happen on a date...



Well somehow we ended up by the railroad tracks in front of parkway crossing. There was something being built that the guys wanted to see so we made the trek to check it out. I was surrounded in weeds mid calf high, when next thing I know I am feeling something poke through my shoe and into my skin. In an effort to pull out the nail that got stuck in my right foot, I took a small step forward to ground myself and stepped into nail #2, but luckily that one was only on the edge of my foot and I could get that one out easily. So there I am, just pulling nails out of each of my feet...The best part is that I didn't cause much of a scene at this time. I continued on my way, taking the new holes in my feet like a champ. Later that night, the guys wanted to go hot tubbing and that is when I finally got a good look at the damage and realized that my feet had been bleeding and that I could potentially get tetanus. Yes people, it had been 14 years since my last tetanus shot, I'm not a real big fan of needles.

So I cleaned the wounds well that night when I got home, and vowed to go get my tetanus shot the next day...well I ended up not having time that next day, so saturday morning I went to the insta-care to get that taken care of. Let me just say that my arm was freakin sore from the shot for like 4 days after.

Safe to say that this might have found a spot on my top 5 worst date experiances. Ha ha! The kid hasn't called back for a second date, not really surprised.

huh?!?!

My van neighbors are gone, my life is over.

night one

I moved into my new place a couple of weeks ago. It was about 11:45 pm and I was just about finished unpacking for the night. I went into my bathroom and shut the door. Five seconds later I went to open the door and that is when I realized that the bathroom door knob was stuck and I was locked in my bathroom. I was on the phone with one of my friends as I tried to get the door open. I worked with the door handle for a couple of minutes and then I started freaking out. I tried everything that I could think of to get out...I even took the door off its hinges. But nothing was working. I started freaking out, but luckily I had betsy on the line to help calm me down. By this point I had been stuck in my bathroom for about 15 minutes. I got off the phone with betsy and called my new roommate hoping that she had a key and could come and get me out. She answered and told me that she was on her way. As soon as I hung up the phone, I tried the door again and it miraculously opened. I couldn't have been happier. Five minutes later my new roommate showed up and I had to explain how I got out. It was not a pleasant experience to say the least. I told my landlord and the problem door knob has been fixed. But it was quite an ordeal and I can't think of anything more welcoming than being trapped...At least I made it out of there after only being stuck for 20 minutes.

Won't You Be My Neighbor

This weekend I moved into a townhouse just south of campus. On my many trips of unloading things from my car, I happened to notice this...

It looks like just a regular POS van parked on the street, but I noticed that this van has an AC unit attached on the back of it, which can be seen better on this picture.

It became very apparent that people actually live in this van.

Most people move in and have neighbors that live across the street in a house, I have that too, I just also have a set of neighbors that live right across the street in a blue van...

Not quite the neighbors I imagined, but I am sure that this will make this summer much more interesting.

I aint freakin' I aint faking this...

So I made it to the Ting Tings this week with mills and liz. Here are the hot, hot pics!

oops I did it again...

I had another Frosty...but it was not from the same Wendy's location and it was vanilla. Those were all chocies made in an effort to protect myself, haha!
