5gts: Friday before Halloween Edition

Posted on by

1. Today I am dressed as one of my coworkers, who I told last year I would dress as. He came up to me today and said, “So are you dressed like me?” (I was.)

2. Tomorrow I am going to be dressed as Alexander. I have a red wig. I have some fake gum to put in my hair. I got the book from the library. CC is going to be Harold. We’re set to go.

3. Someone brought us a pumpkin pie today. The small children are dressed up, and there is a Halloween Party on the field. I love working at a school.

4. Speaking of working at a school, and libraries, today I went and used my library card at the school library for the first time. I have a month to read the books I got out, and there is no limit on the number of books staff check out. Cannery Row, Tortilla Flat, and Sweet Thursday, here I come!

5. Despite missing yoga Tuesday (slow carpool…) I will be going tonight, before CRAFT NIGHT. What, my friends, is better than Craft night, you ask? Nothing, my friends, nothing.

What are you doing this Halloween weekend?

1. “I confess, you are the best thing in my life.”

2. “But I’ll always remember you dancing/across the kitchen in your orange handkerchief”

3. “This is the most magnificent life has ever been/here is heaven and earth/and the brilliant sky in between”

4.”If I could name you in this song/would it make you smile and sing along?/this is the goal: to get into your soul”

5. “Cause I’ll be waiting with my bare back /to carry you there”

Delicious? Tired? Obnoxious? Lampshade?

1. My sorella is engaged to a one JW. Read about how it happened.

2. It is cloudy/rainy in LA and that, my friends, makes for a good October.

3. Back from the Ranch. Killed a chicken with a cleaver. Pictures to come.

4. Soccer has started for the season, and the kids are as cute as ever.

5. It’s already Wednesday. And Jeff’s parents come Friday. How exciting!!

5gts: Friday.

1. I went to 6:00 am yoga on Wednesday morning and my teacher’s name was Skip. I have never taken his class before, and he said at one point, while I was in Warrior 3:

“Welcome to my class. If you thought this was going to be more about meditation, that’s on Monday mornings. We like to sweat in my class.”

He also, I swear to you, was the guy from Can’t Hardly Wait that keeps saying, “Remember that time…”

Turns out he wasn’t that guy, but he reminded me of him SO MUCH.

2. My friend Elliott is moving two miles away from me, which means we’ll be carpooling all fall. Can you believe it? I can’t, either. But, it’s true, and this has greatly improved my mood.

3. Katie has finally come back to the world of blogging. Glad you’re back, K.

4. Girl’s night tonight. Making salads, chattering away, and potentially laughing until we cry.

5. Slow weekend, then my girls are coming to visit. I cannot wait for them.

1. Did you know that it is June 23, which means we’re steadily on our way to July? Here we come, Mr. 4th. I hope to enjoy fireworks and corn on the cob.

2. Liz is out of the office, and while this is not a positive, I am going to take it as one by getting a Jamba Juice for lunch and reading the Book Club book for a whole hour at lunch.

3. Summer hours have started. Four o’clock = quittin’ time = home by 4:30 = bliss.

4. USA won today which means we’re advancing in the World Cup. Go, USA!!

5. Jeff’s brother, Ryan, is in town, and he’s absolutely delightful. I’m excited to show him the city this weekend, which is one of Jeff’s favorite past times. I think an ice cream sandwich might be on the table…
