It's hard to believe that it's the first of November already. This year has gone by so quickly. It will be Christmas before you know it. Halloween was quiet here. We didn't have any trick or treaters this year. It has been 3-4 years since we've had any. I guess the kids that live in the neighborhood go to a planned event. Halloween has changed since my son was young. It's no longer safe to go trick or treating. I LOVE haunted houses, and there used to be several in the county during the season. I can't remember the last time we had one close by.
As planned, Walt and I got re-married yesterday. It was very casual. We met some friends at Cajun Cafe on the Bayou, along with the notary public (Too bad I couldn't perform the ceremony, LOL, as I too, am a notary public). We exchanged our vows and then had an early dinner. Walt and I had dressed fried oyster po'boys. OMG! It was so good! We had crawfish cornbread as an appetizer and a to die for bread pudding. MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM
I am participating in NaBloPoMo. There is no theme this month. Hopefully I will be able to complete the task at hand and find something to post about every day this month.
I've been working on my knitting for a few minutes each day. I hope to have the Dream Swatch Headwrap/scarf finished this week. I'll then focus on the Irish hiking scarf and then the Stitch Diva's Hairpin Lace Cardi Wrap. I'm considering making another headwrap/scarf in a solid color and wrapping the yarn four times instead of three. I'm thinking it would be Pretty in Pink. LOL
football?? I lurve me some New Orleans Saints. You would think I would be a Buc's fan, but NO. I've been a Saint's fan for many, many, many years. I only got to see the last 30 seconds or so of the game yesterday. I know they came from behind to win the game. I am so happy that they are one of three undefeated teams, the first time in NFL history that going into the 7th week there are three defeated teams!
I found another little piece of knitting I had been working on and had put aside. It's the Dream Swatch Headwrap. It started out as a head wrap. I decided to not make it as wide as the pattern called for, but it was still too wide to wrap my head and still stay in place. So I decided to make it into a narrow scarf. I think it will be cute with a purple or blue tee-shirt. I'm making it out of Caron Simply Soft Paints in the Oceana color-way. I'm gonna focus on this small scarf instead of the Irish Hiking scarf. It shouldn't take me long to get it finished, if I work on it a few minutes every day.
I'll be removing the music after Halloween. Monster Mash is one of my favorite songs. I have it as my ringtone during the month of October and I thought it would be fun to have it on my blog. :) I also have the pic of Dracula and Frankenstein as the wallpaper on my phone. LOL
I haven't felt like posting lately. Not much is happening. I'm just trying to get the esthetician class finished. My back is preventing me from doing as much as I would like to. I'm doing about two services a day. I love doing microdermabrasion. I like doing body waxing, but not so much waxing eyebrows. I've done a Hot Stone Facial and I loved doing it too. I'm looking forward to actually getting to start working in the field.
Autumn is my favorite time of the year. There isn't a dramatic change of seasons here in Florida. This past week we had some cooler temperatures and it was really nice. (It has since returned to 90 degree weather though.) When I was younger I loved getting new clothes and starting back to school. Most of the time my Mom drove me to school. I have some nice memories of waiting for the bus with Nancy and Jesse, who were neighbors. Nancy was a year older than me but was in the same grade and Jesse was a year younger. We were neighbors for only a short time. Nancy got married, I think she was about 16. I believe Jesse is Jesse Morehead from Stayin Safe, and also an internationally known archery champion. Just a walk down memory lane.
The last time I blogged I did an update on the NailTech products I was using. I'm happy to say they are still doing an excellent job of making my nails strong and healthy. I got a gorgeous light pink nail polish and I'm now using it.
As I mentioned autumn is my favorite time of year and I think I enjoy Halloween as much as I do the Christmas season. I love all the decorations and dressing up in costume and doing make-up. The young man in this youtube video is an amazing make-up artist and has several tutorials on youtube. I'm going to use one of his tutorials to do my make-up for Halloween.
My ex and I have decided to get married again. We'll go Monday and get the license. We're getting married on Halloween. Again. LOL I think we both should have our Halloween make-up on. It won't be a huge deal. We will go with some friends, get married and go to an early dinner. They have younger children and need to be available for trick or treating or a party or what ever they have planned. I would like to go to Guavaween, and see the Mama gave Stumble Parade, but I don't know if my back will "let" me walk around. I would also like to go to Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando.
Probably we will end up watching classic horror movies, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy, and their sequels. Although there are other good horror movies, I love these movies and never tire of watching them. I don't care so much for the newer stab and hack movies. Although I do like the original Friday the 13th. Walt and I watched The Ring. Immediately after watching the movie, our phone starts to ring. I answered it and immediately start laughing, explaining to my friend that we had just watched the movie. LOL
