Last year, I went as a sailor (although people at work guessed 'cruise ship director'. I suppose? I've never been on a cruise before. Someone else guessed 'a character from JAG'. While I'm not particularly familiar with the series, I guess that's an appropriate description from what I've seen of the show on the cover of a DVD set at the movie-rental store? LAWLZ.)
This year for our work Halloween party, I changed (definitely couldn't walk to the train station in costume! Even I have limits, hahaha) into my space-shuttle-glow-in-the-dark-stars fleece footie pajamas (size L from the little boy's section at Target! Twelve buckaroos and ninety-nine cent...aroos!), stuffed my feet into my reindeer slippers, brought along my monster-dolls, and went as a baby/young boy-child. Not the most original, but by far the most comfortable, :) :) :)! Today is Saturday, and the parents brought their young children out early to trick or treat (B and I were sitting in a cafe studying in the afternoon and saw several children out in costume; so cute!).
Stayed over at B's last night after attempting to make beef stew (we ended up with a hearty beef soup more like) and chatting the night away just like in the old days when we used to live together, :) So good to catch up again. In the morning, got the breakfast fixin's and had a lovely brunch with B:
- sweet baguette from La F.
- eggs, sunny-side up
- ham and pepper jack cheese
- Port Salut cheese and water crackers
- blueberry jam
- orange juice
- persimmons, pears, and plums that I had brought over last night
All consumed in B's lovely little breakfast nook/kitchen area, with the windows and door open to let in the warm breeze, music in the background, nonstop chatting as usual. B had some homework assignments to do, so we headed over to a cafe near my place and settled in. Very cute cafe, with plush couches, designed almost like a common room that you'd expect to see in Harry Potter!
After studying most of the afternoon away, B and I went to G and A's Halloween party, with the theme of "Wear something orange and bring something orange". I lent B my orange-striped shirt and a little orange hair-bow, while I went only with another one of the hair-bows. B brought orange jello with canned peaches, and I, true to form, brought Cheetos. It was a small cozy party, filled with lots of eating and playing-of-games. Best costumes of the night definitely went to G, who recycled a cardboard box and various colored shopping bags into a very creative Rubix cube, and to J, who wore a bright marigold hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants, with a bright red shirt, and yellow paper ears, a highly original and quite easy Winnie the Pooh.
Definitely a great night; so good to see everyone together again! :)
