happy halloween!
yesterday my birthday was spent painting two coats of blue onto the entertainment room (really the master bedroom, but we've decided to make it a common room) walls, and writing letters. it feels good to write again, even if it's just chatty stuff. i love letters.
today was spent applying to a gis job, and will soon be followed by pumpkin carving. hurray! i've been wanting to carve pumpkins and roast the seeds for weeks. we'll make a fire and hopefully bribe all the neighborhood kids into liking us with candy.
this past weekend was a good one. since we finally have a dining room table, we decided to have a dinner party to celebrate. we invited all of paul's sociology cohort and about 17 people showed up for dinner on friday. it was slightly stressful because i am not the best cook in the world, but everything turned out great. i made 3-bean vegan chili in the crockpot with bulgar, and paul made homemade vegan wheat bread, we made two batches of the onion/apple/potato bake which we adore, and a big salad. it turned out to be enough, plus extras that people brought. it was nice to have a fire and see our house filled with friendly people hanging out. the only downside is the cleanup. ;o)
saturday was a huge day in Madison. Halloween is one of the biggest events of the year, i'm told. and the saturday closest to halloween is when there is a huge party on state street with 100,000+ people or so. craziness. we did not partake in the state street party, but we did have some halloween fun at an apartment party. paul, i and two others dressed up in a karate kid them. the shower/skeleton scene. where the cobra kai are dressed up as skeletons and the karate kid is a giant shower with a red shower curtain with white polka dots. it was a pretty funny costume. i'll have to post pix sometime to share. it was all homemade, and very fun to make.
kate, feel better. be healthy. i hope that you are well very very soon!
two more days until i am back in portland. yes!
