Halloween... 2011

Here is a list of lessons I have learned this Halloween:
Angry Bird and Red Devil


1 - Wearing a wig with your costume is not easy. Hence the Amy Winehouse fail. It was very top heavy and difficult to wear - hence the inability to wear it the next week for your costume to the next party.

2 - You shouldn't buy a cute and sexy pitchfork to go with your next costume, cute little red devil, if you are going to forget to take it - hence incomplete costume.

2 - Wearing horns with your little red devil outfit is also difficult, because they want to slip - hence the can and a half of hairspray necessary to keep the curls and the horns in.

3 - A can and a half of hairspray can be flammable - hence the singe to the tips of the hair when it got to close to the heat. At least it wasn't as bad as Amberly wanted me to believe.

Aedynn the Zombie!!

4 - Sambuka is made of the devil - hence the necessity to go home early.

Lydia the Batgirl

5 - It's always best to let Ted hand out the Halloween treats - hence laughing your behind off when some kid wants to "sling shot" the Angry Bird.

Gabriel the Skeleton

All in all, Halloween was an awesome time. We went trick or treating at my work, Ted and I went to a couple of parties. I dressed up for the first time in a long time - usually my idea of dressing up is just my Halloween shirts. My little princess turned four. And the day after, I went to her birthday party at a jump place and got to be bounced around on a huge pillow - what more could a girl ask for?? It was tons of fun!!!

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
