Now this is a costume

So we had a Halloween gathering last night and while my costume was lame ( just my BU jersey) other people can come up with good costumes.

This one was awesome because I LOVE Michael Myers
Sorry it is sideways :(

It's funny when your parents notice things first...

especially from 3,000 miles away. So recently when I have been talking to my parents, they both on different occasions, a couple days apart, made me realize I do not hate it here as much as I once did. Make no mistake, I have no interest in staying here any longer then I have to and I would never suggest someone move here... but I am much more content here then I was a few months ago. It is amazing how friends can make a difference. I have some really good friends now and am developing more as I go. It makes being here more tolerable overall that is for sure. Yay for making good friends, and YAY for making friends who like horror movies like me!!!
I just found it interesting that my parents from all that distance could pick up on the change, and it is a good change.

Pumpkins!!

So in honor of Halloween I carved a pumpkin :) Well my friend Kate and I carved pumpkins
here s mine



here are the two of ours near my door



And here is Kates

Winter Break

So I have decided when I am coming home for Dec and Jan. I will be home Dec 14t-Jan 7th. I am so excited for the non rushed trip home. I will be home for 25 days so I should get to see everyone and do every thing I want to do :)

And I get to meet the new puppy who won't be much of a puppy by then but I am super excited!!!!!

My String Doll Gang

So like a year ago I got my first string doll. The Zombie was made to help me dig up all of the information in my head. As you can see my gang has grown.



Along with my Zombie I now have Captain Bad, Thelma, Mr. Mummy and Big Frank.

I am hoping Big Frank is going to help me the most he is supposed to help me stay on task and finish things!

Here is the website for anyone interested it allows you to order online or find stores that sell them



I now want to get a few of the pets, I like the monster ones, one of their mottos "Being weird is more fun". I love it

Parents New Dog

So I have to say I am very very jealous that my parents have a new puppy. Well she is a very large puppy she is 6 months old. But she is adorable and I guess they needed a new one.

So introducing their new pup Ally

First BBQ

So this weekend I had my first BBQ in Fresno, well really my first one all on my own. It went well, we( kate my cohost and I) had 10 people there, first guest showed up at 4 last guests left at 1130. I forgot to take pics during the gathering but I have random ones before and after lol. We grilled all kinds of veggies, had chicken, steak and sausage. Everyone brought apps or side dishes it was good times. It made me realize I am actually an adult, which is scary and cool. I know I have been for a while but I threw my first adult party, not a college like party with all kinds of random people getting drunk. And I discovered my house fits 10 people and a beagle puppy fairly comfortably. The party went well and I was glad to hear I am not the only horror movie buff in the group, there was quite a few of us!!!!

Here is a pic of the balloons we got to mark my fence :) Yes we are dorks.

Why??

Why is it that guys are so stupid? Not to be mean to them, well a bit mean but seriously. Why is it that now that I am 3000 miles from home... I have guys wishing I was there to date? I was in Massachusetts for 26 years, you couldnt get your act together in 26 years? Well granted not that long for some but still. There is one I have known for about 4 years. He recently tells me he "wishes I was around because I am the kind of girl you settle down with", UM HELLO I was around for 4 freakin years lol. Then I have one who I went on one date with couple months before I moved out here recently contact me again and tells me how he wishes he had kissed me on our date, and how much he wanted to BLAH BLAH BLAH.Then why didn't you? You held my hand at the movie was that not a big enough sign that I would kiss back??
Anyways, I have no time for this crap. Seriously why are guys idiots?
Note to guys:
If you like a girl tell her.
If you go on a date and you like a girl KISS HER.
If you go on a date and like a girl and dont kiss her make sure there is a 2nd date to kiss her.
If you think the girl is worthwhile tell her, don't let things slide.

Granted this is a rant about guys and I never do the same. If I like a guy I find it hard to tell him, but not if we have been on a date or have known each other. Come on guys get with it.
And stop coming out of the woodwork, unless you live in CA lol

Visit Home

So I am back in Fresno after my visit home. The visit was bittersweet, I got to see a lot of people and I had to say goodbye to my Abby. But anyways here is how the visit went.

Tuesday:
Got in early, mom and abby picked me up, I thought mom was going to squeeze me to death with her hug but it was great to be home. Got to pick Daniel up at school and got yelled at for hugging him at school, lol whoops. Mom showed me around her gardens and the yard. My favorite thing in the yard is her scarecrow family.

Then that night the older aunt and uncles and my grandma came over for dinner.That was fun, the uncles got to pick my brain about school. Was good to see them, then just hung out with the family.
Wednesday:
Got up and went to lunch with Grandma, then we went to the ice cream place I worked at for my first real job and realized I started there 11 years ago. That made me feel my aging just a bit ha. Then I got to go pick up Daniel again and hang with him some. That night my mom and I went to the Big E. I have decided I like the Big E when its only 5 bucks and its not super crowded. We ate all the good fair food, got perogies ( prob spelling that wrong), and french fries with vinegar, and Big E cream Puff and then Fried Mushrooms mmmmm. We got to see animals, Igot to pet an almost 2300 pound horse I wanted to bring it home :).
Thursday:
Conference all day, was good. Then went out to dinner with everyone from school that was there. Besides the shitty waitress it was fun.
Friday:
Conference till 3, then headed to Boston. Drove through my old neighborhood and found there is a dunkin donuts there so weird. Then had dinner at Brown Sugar with Daisy, Shelley, Leota, Lucinda and Petula, all my peeps from BU, it was a lot of fun, mmmm got to have my Drunken Noodle. After Brown Sugar we saw all these bikes come and block the road and bang n cars and I am not sure what it was all about.
Then Daisy, Shelley and I went to Dunks for a bit and they sell Pizza now which i have to say creeped me out a bit lol.

Saturday:
Just hung out a bunch, got some breakfast from the Williamsburg General Store ooo so good. Then played ball with Abby and just hung out. Daisy and I then went to Antonios which I love so much i cant put it into words lol. Then I went to get my new tattoo and for whatever reason I can not take a good pic of it right now but will post one when I get one. Just an FYI the foot HURTS A LOT. Saturday night was Poker night of which I suck, we played at the cheap table for a while, then Daisy and I realized we were old. I will blame it on all the food we ate cause we never get homecooked food, and boy there was some good food there. But we passed out around 1030 on my parents couch lol.
Sunday:
Daisy went home in the morning. I spent the rest of the day hanging with my family and saying goodbye to my dog. She wasnt doing so well and my family put her down Monday. She was a wonderful dog though. I took this pic while I was home and it may be the favorite one I have ever taken of her.

Then my family all brought me to the airport and we got some dinner first. I was proud cause I only cried a little lol.



So now I am back in Fresno, back to the grind and will count down till I am come home in December:) But it was great seeing everyone it was kind of like I had never left but sadly I knew I had.
