catching up
sunday 10/31/10:
hallowe'en!
can i just say it now? i_love_hallowe'en!
can i also say that i love j & k's creativity? i go for the witch--always have, always will--and i guess it's easy for me since i have several years' worth of accessories, costumes, makeup, etc. for it but j & k....now there's something special! i guess since i have so much hallowe'en stuff, it leaves things wide open for them to really get into it. on the night of, and actually pretty much as their friends were on the way to whisk them away to their various planned activities, they came up with this:
she is a "cat burglar"--ears and tail attached
the boy? i wasn't sure that he was going to do anything but play xbox but he got himself together and did this:
this is apparently "just a cool guy"...with a tie, headphones, whiskers, and blue and orange hair
so that left me at home to man the fog machine and the cauldronful of candy/popcorn/play-doh...
the glowing tombstones were pretty killer, i must admit. did i mention how much i love hallowe'en?
thursday 11/4/10:
i took j & k to border's uptown (dallas) to meet kat von d at her book-signing. after much traffic and a long (and ridiculously "managed") line we got our chance to meet her, say hi, get our book signed, and get a photo taken. though this is based on the 30 seconds that we had with her, she is the sweetest, most down-to-earth person and it was a pleasure to have the chance to meet the girl!
i follow her on twitter so i had a heads up that she would be joined by a couple of buddies, jeff ward and mike escamilla
super-nice guys and it was great meeting them and getting their autographs as well.
(side note for my girl, patsy--"rooftop" played a bad guy in "paul blart : mall cop")
got home pretty late and could see some sort of tube on the front porch in the dark...
friday 11/5/10
got up and started getting things ready for our day. checked on tube that was still out on front porch
SCORE! tube contained a travel channel's man v. food poster signed by adam richman
love that guy!
tuesday 11/9/10:
my interview was going fabulously, i thought, up until the point toward the end when one of the guys kept telling me not to be nervous and not to worry and not to be nervous and not to worry...over and over! i thought i was doing pretty great and then started worrying and getting nervous. those little voices started arguing in my head-"he's saying that because you're obviously nervous", "...and you look worried!"...and that *truth* thing----gah! i could have maybe faked my way through some answers for sure but i just couldn't make myself say that, "yes, i build circuit boards, drive forklifts and use voltage meters---every day i do these things"...it just sounded dumb...silently analyzing all of this in front of this interview panel made me nervous...and worried. we'll see how this averages my overall score out, possibly late december, maybe january sometime...
thursday 11/11/10:
happy veterans day!
went to the program at the middle school
and then a cold front blew in and i found this scene to be pretty impressive, rainbows and all!
going to try to do better about keeping up with this...work keeps getting in the way of my fun!

it's not that there hasn't been much to say...
it just seems that my perfectionism is creeping in, preventing me from doing things if i don't think i have time to do them "right", whatever THAT means. yes, that and nerves most likely--i have a job interview tomorrow and i worry, among other things, that i am in a place right now where i will tell too much truth. this could be a bad thing...or maybe not. we'll see...
regardless, i will feel so much better in about 27 hours when this is all over with
back to trying on outfits!

thinking of Austin...
and wishing we could get back there very soon.
This was fun--
and so was this--
but I've got to drop those two scaredy-cats (!!!) someplace next time to really get into this--
okay, so those aren't ghosts flashing all around J & K at The Driskill Hotel...or are they?! At any rate, those two didn't want to hang around!
