We elves try to stick to the 4 main food groups...

Did you know that Kate and I are having a housewarming/holiday/potluck party on December 14th? Did you know that it's going to be a classy party, because we're classy girls, and because we don't live in the dumps anymore? Did you know that we're going to have a large Christmas tree? Did you know that Kate will be wearing an ugly Christmas sweater? And did you know that there's a high probability that the two of us will be performing this dance that evening? Turn the sound up when you watch the video...it's pretty amazing.

Turkey is just so good.

October through November is my favorite time of year, outside of the spring and summer. I have a hard time deciding whether Halloween or Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. But I'm pretty excited about the upcoming three-day work week, and three pretty tasty dinners planned for next weekend. Is it wrong to get so excited about a week revolving around food? I didn't think so either.

It was a pretty eventful day in the new apartment. After weeks of worrying whether a new couch would fit in the apartment, it made it in, with minimal damage! And Kate and I didn't need to manuever it through the doorway, instead watching some manly men lift it over the staircase and slide it in. And I got to see Kate do a U-turn with the moving truck. That was probably the highlight.

There are still piles of boxes and trashbags scattered around each room of the apartment, but it's finally starting to come together! It's so good that it's making me want to skip work just so I can sit at home and look around the apartment all day. Perhaps you should visit with a bottle of wine in hand, or a Miller fridge pack?

'Ween 2007

I love, love, love Halloween. It reminds me of being a kid. And what's not to like about lots of candy? And dressing up? This year I got a costume at the last minute, and as a result, I was a nun (Molly, I'm practicing for your wedding!). After being a girl scout last year, and a nun this year, I'm going to try really hard to remember next year that girls aren't supposed to wear that much clothes on Halloween.









We're sort of all moved into the new apartment, and I was pretty excited to potentially have trick-or-treaters this year. I went out and got a lot of candy a few nights ago, though I realized about an hour later (after I had eaten a good portion from each of the bags) that neither of us would be home for most of the trick-or-treating hours. But I was still pretty happy to hold down the fort from 5:30 to 6 last night. So when the doorbell rang and I heard a pack of noisy kids outside, I was a bit disappointed to find 5 kids ranging in age from about 11 to 16, one without a costume and holding a plastic bag from the supermarket, and people who appeared to be parents, videotaping the whole thing. I think I need to move to the suburbs by next October.
