October is officially over, so now is the time to post all of the awesome things I have been up to over the past month! This post is going to be pretty long short since....I haven't been up to a whole lot. My daily routine consisted of:
- Wake up, make coffee with ID Pumpkin Creamer (my new sugary addiction)
- Job Search...I am officially a licensed IL PA ....all together now: WOO HOO...now must find job....
- Watch horror movies till my butt goes numb or the clock reads 4:30am....
- Repeat
So, now that you feel much better about yourself as your life is obviously way cooler than mine, let me proceed. I had a small get together the weekend before Halloween, so it was last minute scrambling for Halloween decor, costumes, and appetizers/cocktails.
- Decor: I am blessed with a City Target across the street, thus I made my way on over to the dollar bin, picked up 3 foam pumpkins and a metal pumpkin tin. A little bedazzling, tacking, and glittering...and voila! Decorations, complete.
- Cocktails: A Halloween party is not complete without a spiked spiced cider! I modified this recipe from Real Simple, to make half a gallon of cider. Deeeeelish is the only descriptive I can come up with!
- Costume: I mean obviously I was Honey Boo Boo for Halloween (very original, I know). I just love her and her dysfunctional family. She reminds me of myself when I was little....and sometimes of myself right now...minus the sketti...pageants...couponing....and forklift foot.
I partied with a Peacock (the tail look familiar? I made it a few years ago...), Pee Wee Herman, the cat's pajamas, a zz top bearded man, and a slew of other characters. All in all, Halloween was a success, but let's hope November is a little more productive.
Be sure to vote on Tuesday!
