Happy Halloween Folks!

I'm just at work...in costume.  But, at least I came in 3rd place for the costume contest!  I won a $5 giftcard to Frys!  After work I'll be heading over to Rachel's to watch scary movies!!!  Hope everyone has a great night!

Nightmare on Main

Only one picture is needed to sum up this entire entry for this particular Halloween Party at Monsterland! 

EPIC

Samurai Comics & Podcast

Tonight I hung out with my friend, Greg at a comic book shop in Mesa called Samurai Comics....this nerdy girl was in heaven...I found a t-shirt that I desperately WANT!!!

 Woot!!!  Walking Dead!!!  Rob and I have been watching it together every Sunday night!

 They had a tower/fortress of Magic the Gathering cards!!!

 Then we went to Bosa Donuts...that's not nerdy....just delicious.

Finished up the evening with a comic book podcast and Greg doing a private show about his upcoming art gallery opening in a couple days!!!

I met a bunch of really cool people, discovered an AMAZING new energy drink (well not new...but a new flavor to me)  and I talked Ireland with a guy for well over an hour.  I'm starting to feel really good about this whole Ireland thing!

I will definitely be back to Samurai Comics....for the energy drinks....A very special and specific comic book....and that shirt!!!!

Extra Life Gaming Marathon

Tonight is the night, Rob is beginning his 24 hour gaming marathon with benefits going to Phoenix Children's Hospital.  His team raised over $1000!!!  I'm super proud of him! Thank you to anyone who contributed!!!

Weight Loss Progress

So this isn't a REAL entry...but I wanted to show off the progress I've had this year!

 

BEFORE: January 2nd 2012   225lbs

AFTER:  October 19th 2012   165lbs

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes!

So....it's not set in stone yet....but a couple weeks ago I registered to be an Au Pair, and in the last couple of days I have been offered some jobs in Cork, Ireland and Kildare, Ireland.  I really think that I may take the job and I have begun researching the process to get either my Work or Student VISA.  I am really excited about it.  I don't want anyone to think that I'm "running away" from anything or whatever.  In all honesty I am using this as an opportunity.  For once in my adult life I have no mortgage, no pets, no good job, no serious relationship, or anything to hold me back.  Now is the best time I have....and I think I should take it.  I may never get an opportunity like this again.  I will keep everyone updated as I figure stuff out.


Also, the follow up on my leg revealed no tendon damage.  And it's healing quite nicely....though I will have a gnarly scar the rest of my life!

Sinister

It's official...I'm not meant to watch horror movies...I just can't handle them. Sinister was NOT scary according to my boyfriend, but I'm pretty much ill from it. Screw that movie!

Golfland with my Girls

Tonight, my girls and I all went to Golfland!  And of course we took all kinds of crazy photos!

 We had so much fun!

 

Even Rob made a guest appearance to play some DDR with us!!!  

Then we finished the night with some Waffle House and then a sleepover at the apartment.  Overall a really fun night!!

A Trip To The Library

Today I paid the Chandler Library a visit and checked out 5 books....including a relationship self help book.  Not that I necessarily need it, but it is just good to have on hand for reflection...that's what I'm telling myself.  In addition I also got Steve Jobs biography...so we'll see how that is.  This was a nice place of peaceful reflection and I think I will be going back!

Zombie Ball

Tonight Rachel and I went to Zombie Ball at Monsterland.  Today I went to the doctor earlier in the day, and they said that I have to come back to get my knee checked in a week once the bruising and swelling goes away.  They are worried there may be tendon damage.  Anywho, that's off the topic.  We went to Zombie Ball and it was a blast.  Some of the people in attendance went ALL OUT, and I was SUPER impressed by the costumes!

 My pride and joy of my costume is the fake fingers in my ear!

 Probably shouldn't play with knives....

 A pretty one!

 Scary!!!

 We were featured 3 times in a magazine!!!

 My friend Greg is photobombing!

My fingers were a hit!!!!

Karaoke & A Bit Pinchy

Tonight Rachel and I went to Monsterland for karaoke.  I looked all cute tonight!  Got my new turquoise jewelry!

 But then I was attacked by my roommates dog....she got me really bad on the back of my right knee.  But I still went to Monsterland afterwards...blood running down my leg.  I'm going to go to the doctor tomorrow to make sure that I'm ok.

BTW, this is the dog that bit me.  Isn't she so cute?!

Getting Paid to Walk my Baby

The family that owns Alex called me a couple days ago.  They asked me if I would walk Alex and Brownie 3 days a week.  AND they are going to pay me $30 a week.  Thats such a win win situation!!!!!

Moved Out

Today I moved out of Robert's house.  Don't you folks worry, he and I are still together, and I am perfectly fine.  He and I just had a conversation that our relationship would be better if we didn't live together.  I am living with my friend, Brie.  Everything is fine...though I'm going to miss waking up to him.  So tonight I decided to hang out at one of my old haunts to keep my mind focused.  Everything will work out, it always does!
