Well, Halloween was kind of a let down this year. Not because Phil's party flopped - we had a good time, really. I've just always done something on the actual day and the fact that I spent the 31st alone all morning and at work all evening pretty much depressed me. Not to mention everyone at work was talking about taking their kids trick or treating and for some reason it made me really miss those days when Halloween was that exciting. Technically Halloween really is a kid's holiday, but in college there was always the costumed drinking on the weekend closest to and then the bus trips to Salem the night of. Instead I spent the evening issuing more blood than should have been allowed at work. Someone somewhere decided it would be extremely funny to make Halloween all about the Blood Bank :-P At least Emily had bought candy for non-existant trick or treaters (kids who live in this community probably hit up the neighborhoods in the area) and I got to have some when I got home and watched the end of Jason X at my boyfriend's. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Jason Vorhees?

My sister ended up coming down for the party and it was nice having her here. After going to breakfast on Sunday we watched The Wedding Date and lazed around before dinner (BK!) and forcing her to watch 2 episodes of Supernatural with us. I love that show! The ghostie ones are my favorite, like with any show, but the sci-fi-ish ones aren't bad, either. Emily is in love (a little bit) with Jensen Ackles, which I think is funny because every time I see him all I can think is Eric from Days of Our Lives. I prefer the other brother.

Yeah, so the Halloween party! Out of my roommate, sister, and I, I ended up being the most "happy", which is always annoying because then I feel like those less drunk than me are judging me. I was disappointed to not spend a lot of time with my boyfriend after working so hard on our couples costume, but he was the rabid host who couldn't leave people to their own defenses for more than a few brief moments at a time. It was nice catching up with my Sarah-girly! which was really what I had been most excited for, anyway, but by the time we were done blabbing at each other and wanted to play drinking games my other friends were already leaving, which surprised and disappointed me. I missed drinking with Jonah and Shari, who are really 2 of my favorite people to drink with. Overall I had fun, but it wasn't the awesomely amazing time I had imagined with all my old friends and a ton of alcohol and I hardly got a minute with Phil to myself, which is hard considering most of our couple time comes on the weekends with our schedules being opposite, now.

So that was pretty much my weekend, besides spending 3 hours Saturday at 7-11 because I locked my keys in my car and AAA was looking for me in Manchester MAINE with no way to call me since they wrote down the wrong area code. Work this week has been fine and the days go by so quickly! Probably because I'm not counting the minutes until the weekend like I used to on days, or more accurately "the minutes until I can sleep again". I'm on my first weekend this month, the one smack dab in the middle (when Harry Potter comes out!) I'm nervous because I'm just getting used to having 5 techs on at a time as opposed to day shift when there are at least 10....on the weekend it will be me and ONE other person. Gonna be time to kick it up a notch.

November is really my least favorite month of the year, which is slightly odd since it's right before my favorite favorite. I've bought 3 Christmas presents already, though, which gets exciting! I'm going to have to remember to bring all my ornaments and dorm decorations back after Thanksgiving since I already missed having my Halloween ones this year. I LOVE CHRISTMAS! It better feel more like a special holiday than Monday did. I have to work Christmas Eve, but there are 3 of us when there really only need to be 2 after dinner time so I'm hoping I can leave early since I'll be driving to Maine, though Karen is already arguing because she has kids and will need to leave early to wrap. Push comes to shove I am the newbie and will probably get stuck until the night crew comes in, but at least I'll get to spend Christmas day with my family.

I have babbled on more than long enough and since the water just came back on perhaps I should have a shower before work :-) Feel free to say hi!
