I feel yucky and hungover this morning and I don't even drink! I have a feeling several of my neighbors (and DH) are feeling yucky and hungover because there was a lot of drinking going on. Party was fun. I had DH take a pic and then stole a pic of all the ladies from a neighbor. I couldn't do fancy 1920s shoes and went with flip flops. They laughed when we got there, but several of them had to put their shoes back on for the group pic because their feet were killing them. I was not the murderer, I did not guess the murderer but nobody else did either. It was fun. DH took a bunch of pictures during the night but they are still on his phone and he got up for about 20 minutes and then went back to bed.

Yesterday afternoon my neighborhood did a Halloween party around the lake so we put Riley in his costume and walked him around. He will not be wearing the costume on Halloween now as he peed in it. We didn't get very good pictures, but here's one while I'm adding pics.

Heading out for 5 easy miles and will come back for personals. Computer is acting a little wonky so I'm just going to post these and run.

Kat, have a great day!

Karen, you look great! Glad you had fun!

It's hard to write this with a fat cat over my hand, yo.

Fly-by before inevitable ''could happen any second'' falling asleep on the couch. Decided to visit BIL and go for a run in the capital. Wwweeell.. It was sunny when I started, but then... Out of nowhere, mixture of hail and downpour (on-off-on-off all the time) and don't even get me started on the stupid decision to include two bridges (which meant quite a climb)... All while K was comfortably sleeping under the ''cover'' of running stroller... Got back, hot shower, and just fell asleep in a chair. Thankfully K kept sleeping too It was supertough but worth it. A total of 10k, but felt like a HM

5 miles for me, I didn't go until about 10 am and the sun was shining so it wasn't bad out.  Ugh I sure don't look forward to the snow; hopefully we can make it until December for anything significant.  They are calling for snowflakes mid week.

Lizzie - sorry about the cold, I hate being sick.  Hopefully you got some good rest today and maybe you can WFH tomorrow.  Exciting about the new baby!  I used to get my nails done pre kids.  I polish them occasionally but that's about it.  I made DD pay for the manicure, I can't afford to pay for that stuff especially if she wants to do it regularly.  LOL on the soccer!  Yes, there are some crazy parents out there that just go bonkers even when their kids are little.  I think baseball/softball is worse, though (at least around here). Glad my kids don't play anymore.

Marjorie - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Karen - you look adorable!  Riley is so cute in his costume, I LOLd with your comment that he peed on it ha!!  I got our doggie a cowboy hat and bandanna costume, he wore it a couple of weeks ago when we went camping, so funny because he doesn't know what to do with the hat on, he kind of just freezes!

Kat - hope you had a good day at work, I do NOT want to go in tomorrow!

Damaris - how was the 12?

Diane - glad you and GD had fun despite the cold temps!

Elina - wow, that sounds like a tough run, great job!  Glad you got in a nap

Sue - CONGRATULATIONS!!!  OMG your boss is a witch!

Happy birthday Marjorie if you get on here!

Susan, congratulations! Sunset cruise sounds like a nice way to pop the question. Your boss is a cow.

Karen, like the costume. Sorry Riley peed in his. (At least you didn't do that in yours...)

Liz, hmm, sounds like things are developing quite a bit for you and HCBF.

Re the pumpkin seeds, I usually wash, drain, then fry in a bit of cooking oil. Frankly, it's too hot to have the oven on if we don't have to.

Diane, DGD's costume sounds adorable!

Kat, then something baked, or a plant, I agree that a carton of smokes is not a great pressie.

4 this morning before early church.

And heard another bit of the saga of the fiasco funeral yesterday. The ashes were interred in the little memorial garden outside the church. There are no individual plots or niches, there's a bed of plants (about 10 x 10, think the size of a small bedroom) with a tree in the middle, walkway around the bed, fountain at one side and more plants in beds between the walk and the walls.  I wasn't directly behind the son and the priest, but what was reported by a couple of the women in the choir is that the hole for the ashes had already been dug. Priest instructed son to open the box and place the ashes in the hole, then everyone who wished could take a trowelful of soil and cover them. Son opened the box and squatted down to pour the ashes in. Let's just say that a) he's fairly generously built (think potato on legs) and b) the shirt he was wearing could have used a longer tail. Much longer. He should also have worn a belt. This was the plumber's butt to end all plumber's butts. One of the women behind him said "where's an ice cube when you really need one?" They had a hard time maintaining a suitably reverent and solemn expression. Glad I was not standing near them because I would have probably come down in fits of giggles.

Wow!!! What a weekend!!!

Yesterday did a Halloween Du with my running  buddies.  2 mile run + 11 mile ride + 2 mile run along beautiful Bay St Louis, MS.  IT WAS SOOOOO COLD!!!!!!!!  OMG!!  For us thin blooded types, 42F  + wind is tooo cooolllddd!!  I had a good race, 1st in my AG!

 

Finished sewing the church banner just in time....

 

BF had a surprise --- sunset engagement cruise! We sailed on a schooner in the MS Sound off Biloxi Bay.  All the kids were there, plus a few friends.  It was very nice, but we were so cold!!  I knew it was coming(bc he can't keep a secret),  just didn't know the details.  He announced it at church this morning and one of the church ladies said, "Well, it's about time!" and everyone laughed.

 

Damaris--smart.  13 degree incline is dangerous.  I would hurt for weeks if I did that.

 

Tessa--awe....too bad they sorta bungled the funeral.

 

My boss sent me an email asking about work after lunch today (Sunday).  I'm not opening it.  She's really been on my ass.

 

Fiance has to have a pacemaker put in Thursday. She told me I would have to work on the weekend and evenings to make up my work.

 

Seriously???

 

Later!!!

I saw it in FB.  OMG, congratulations!!!!!

Kathy, that is a new one to me also -- wedding cake doubling as a gender reveal cake. At least that stops the "is she or isn't she pregnant?" debate that often comes along with a wedding.
