Tonight is Brandon's work Halloween party. We're dressing up as pirates. I'll be sure to take pictures. We went all out and actually rented costumes this year, but it just wouldn't feel right if we didn't add our own bits and pieces so we stopped by the thrift store and found this amazing heavy wooden perfect-sized chest to we'll use to carry our pirate booty, of course. Not sure if the pirate booty is going to consist of jewels or gems or what, but luckily it's just small enough to carry around without being a big burden. I think it was a jewelry box in its former lifetime, as evidenced by the red velour lining.
If anyone out there is going to dress up this year, please send pictures! Mom- hope you get some cute pictures of the little kiddies. You should start dressing up every year. Brandon's mom's got a Winnie the Pooh costume Brandon bought her one year... or you'd be a cute Mother Goose or Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe or something.
Happy haunting!

Making things and taking pictures of my puppy- my two main hobbies these days.
Did you know that Brandon and I will have been dating 5 years on November 11? Yep. It's true. He's put up with me/I've put up with him for 5 % of a century. Isn't that how we're supposed to refer to milestones of being with the one we love? That's just crazy talk/hog wash/bologna. In all honesty, he's just as sweet as he was back in the days when we would hang out from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. because we worked opposite schedules. That's love. Also, still loving someone after seeing them under art fair stress- that's love, too. And road-tripping 10 hours across Nebraska and surviving? Pure love, baby.
So I bought a pair of snow skis yesterday. Yay! I feel like the Colorado thing is officially official now that I have procured a pair of skis. I was thisclose to buying a snowboard, as Bran and his sister both have most all the gear now, but I've never snowboarded and know I love skiing and there was a huge sale going on at the local sporting goods store. The only catch? The last time I was skiing was about 10 years ago at Terry Peak. Therefore, I had a tough time classifying myself as either beginner or intermediate when the salesman asked. So I said I was a begintermediary skier and he sold me this schmancy red and black pair of skis.
Oh, the nostalgia (of only 2.5 months ago). Pathetic, I know. You know you love reliving Koda's puppyhood just as much as me. Note that while he has grown, his bandit mask around his eyes has not.

I post dog pictures when I should be doing something productive
More fun with dogs and hats. While his eyes are screaming, "I hate you, you evil woman," he's actually deep-down smiling at all the hot dog babes he's going to score with this hat.
Koda hanging on the stairs- his favorite place in our whole entire house other than perhaps hanging around my feet when I'm trying to cook the ever-so-rare homemade dinner. He used to be able to fit better, and soon will have to find a new and creative way of squeezing his big doggie bootie on the stairs.

My computer caught some sort of virus or worm last week, so I've not been on my computer much lately. I downloaded a few fancy things, and it's worked two days in a row now, so hopefully I've fixed whatever was ailing my poor laptop.
It's been cold in Colorado this past week, so we've been making homemade chili and lighting up the fireplace. In spite of a few below-40 evenings, we haven't turned on the heater just yet. Instead, last night I wore tank top, long-sleeved shirt, sweatshirt and fleece jacket. I would have put on my actual winter coat over all these layers if not for the loss of movement in my arms.

I'm excited to hear how yesterday's Creative Festival in Central Park went. Here's a writeup on the ladies who brought my necklaces with them: Junk is cool.
