Surprise! ... or a dialogue with Sweeting

Carrie: I'm going to the store.
Sweeting: Surprise me with a treat.

Carrie's internal dialogue on the way to the store: Don't forget about Sweeting's surprise. Don't forget about Sweeting's surprise.

Re-Enter Carrie

Carrie: Sweeting, look! I got you a surprise!
Note: Not an actual representation of the surprise, but similar in nature

Sweeting: That's not really a treat.
Carrie: Oh... oh... oh.

The next day via email

Carrie: Are you wearing your surprise?
Sweeting: I was but I got beat up by several people in my office who ripped it off of me and tried to feed it to me while calling me vulgar names.
Carrie: Well barf it up and wear it!
Sweeting: I did. But then they ripped it off again and started poking me in the face with it. They got dangerously close to my eye. I could have been blinded. My lip is currently bleeding.

All in all... a GREAT surprise treat from the store if I do say so myself.

This is Halloween...

I moved two mountains on Friday night-- actually leaving my house despite ridiculous rain pouring down AND in costume no less. I hate Halloween. Crowded and cold, people. Crowded and cold.

Muffin and Sweeting's party went so fast! I literally felt like we had just gotten there when we were leaving, but between Shane not being able to keep his eyes open a moment longer and the boys sulking from their (once again) HUGE loss to the girls it was time to go. The highlight was Big Wiz Barbie getting this gross black glittery stuff on her back and us being in the bathroom trying to get it off- we broke the towel rack (sorry Muffin) and I laughed into the wall corner for about five minutes to the point of weezing.

I was legitimately speechless when Tom and Big P walked in my door... they love their costume wigs, that's for sure. Ew. Barbie looks cute though. As a sidenote, Barbie went literally nowhere without Ken for the whole night although Ken took some dunks in the punch and his hair got very gross and sticky, Barbie really er... stuck with him.


Ceasar and Egon... Except really Egon, where even WAS your GhostBuster gear all night? Pretty sure I didn't ever see it on. Way to not go all out and play the part. You did manage to expell Amy singlehandedly without it I guess.

Shane Zoolander sleeping on the couch. I seriously wish you could see how many people were in the room around him having a good time and being loud. By the way this was definitely not at the end of the night. Probably a good hour before we left.

Before the battle of the sexes began, obviously...

Muffin trying to beat the girls. Ha- I laugh.

Oh bah you guys are cute.

And THIS friends is my FAVORITE picture of the whole evening. It was taken about 10 seconds after Sean bopped Rachel on the head (on accident) and it was like a resounding "bop" when it happened. Notice how Sean is like kneeling in front of her asking for forgiveness haha. I just love the picture.


On Friday night it really hit me that it has been a YEAR since last Halloween at Ryan and Erika's old apartment. How weird is that? Callanan was here, Sean and Sha lived in Meridian (ha), there was no Tiff yet, Erika and Jamie hadn't moved in, had Joanne just met Brian??, I wasn't sure I even liked Muffin... it was just a big eye opener to realize we've all been together here for over a year of parties and holidays and family dinners and birthdays. Crazy. Speaking of, Callanan- we SERIOUSLY missed you. Come on Eileen was played a few times and moments of silence were had.

A great night... even if it WAS Halloween :)

Nightmare Before Christmas 3D!



In an attempt to start rallying the troops for Project Runway Wednesdays, Eddie suggested we meet up for the California Tortilla/Chinatown Theatre movie deal tonight. We saw Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D. I am SO SAD we didn't have a camera to take a picture of us in our 3D glasses... so funny. 3D glasses, however, have evolved from the red and blue lensed Captain Nemo (is that the name?? haha) style glasses to more of a Risky Business look. Who knew?

Pumpkin Guts and Tacky-T's

Just got back from the Georgia Embassy's pumpkin carving party. I love those girls and the boys that love them! They're fun. We ended up with a cute little pumpkin patch if I do say so myself. Everyone elses pumpkins were great... mine, however, needs a little imagination :)

QB trying to perfect the horns


Lauren! You look so clean!


So ummm here is mine. Imagination, people. IMAGINATION!


The patch!
