Who am I? ...I Don't Know Either.

We had our ward Halloween Party Monday night. I still had no clue as to what I was going to dress up as. My roommates all had a costume... so at the last minute, I put on some random clothes I found and wore 2 different sandals, and just put on whatever... and called myself Kendra (who is my roommate). Of course, what I was wearing is nothing that she would ever wear but since I was dressing up as no one in particular, it seemed funny to say I was someone that everyone knew. Well by the end of the night, I was told that I should be Ugly Betty - which is a TV show that I've never watched. Apparently she wears frumpy mismatched clothes like I was. Alyssa sometimes takes pictures at random angles... sorry to have to have you crane your necks...

Here is me and Mary Poppins (Alyssa). And then there is a picture of my bishop and his wife. Great costume wouldn't you say? And then me, Mary, Albert Einstein (my roommate Emili) and... I'm not sure who Michael is dressed up as (but standing in the opposite order of what i said... obviously). And then my FHE dad and me and Kendra in the pirate costume and one of our FHE brothers. Our FHE group was in charge of karicachers (spelled phonetically since i don't know how to spell it) but only a few people could actually draw decently, I not being one of them.

What Are You Going to Be for Halloween?

Well I don't know what I'm going to be - or if I'm going to dress up... (last year I chose to be a pedestrian) but I found some pictures of these random kids who had some pretty cool costumes. The reason I came across these pictures is because I was looking for some ideas for decorating Halloween goodies (for work purposes of course) and I got distracted by these costume pictures. These ones in particular made me laugh a lot so I hope they have the same effect on you or this post will be really lame-o.

Dirt Devil Vacuum & Chicken Little

Baby Elephant & Old People

So the Old People picture is the one that made me laugh for so long. Don't you agree that these kids and their costumes are so adorable? The end.

Asian Pumpkin!

This is Asian nancy showing Asian Pumpkin. Asian nancy carved him last night at FHE. He only weighed 2.32 pounds and therefore only cost 40 cents to purchase. It only took 7 minutes to gut him. And 10 minutes to carve his face. At first, most people thought he was Robot Pumpkin. Not so. He's definitely Asian Pumpkin. Most people agree that Asian suits him better than Robot Pumpkin anyhow. He now sits at the corner of the doorway and greets visitors. Isn't that special?

Did You Steal That From Your Little Brother?

NO! Of course not! And let me outline the reasons why this is not possible.

a) I don't even have a little brother!
2) I would never go to Grand Junction, Colorado to steal something! and

d) Do you really think I could pull off stealing something like this? A cookie? Probably. But a car? Get real!

So Jason and Heather moved to Hawaii (lucky duckies) and needed to sell their car fast. Fortunately, I was looking to buy a car. And was able to do it fast. Alyssa and I went to Grand Junction to pick up the car and Heather's brother Taylor was kind enough to chaffeur us down... it really was like he was our chaffeur because we both sat in the back. There is reason for this as the seatbelt in the front seat was broken and I wasn't about to sit up there without one! Taylor reassured me that it would be fine for me to sit up front and that he would even not buckle up as extra care that we really wouldn't get into an accident. Yeah right! Well in the end we were all safely strapped into our seats and off we went! No accidents involved. Thanks Tay! All went well, we were all able to help Jason and Heather in some way or another and after spending all day with them, we returned home.

The car is my first big purchase and now I actually have to budget, but it has been joyous to have a vehicle! Hooray for growing up (sorta)! But while the weather is still chipper and sunny, I continue to ride my bike to work so don't worry, the bike still gets plenty of love! And speaking of work, that building in the background of the picture is my work... well it's part of the building anyway.
