Almost October

So I have to tell you how excited I am about Halloween!! I know it's only September, but I have been amped up for Halloween since summer escaped us. I can't get enough of Halloween and fall decorations and I have been shopping for anything fall and going wild decorationing my apartment. My place is so festive now, covered in leaves, baby pumpkins, candy corn and mumms and smells of pumpkin spice. Yesterday I bought a spooky black tree that holds a candle, at TJ Maxx, which is a great spot to find seasonal decorations.

Today in the office I spent a large chunk of time with my fellow ambassadors brainstorming what I was going to be for Halloween. I always try to be something creative and different from the normal, "skanky" costumes that many girls bust out on Halloween. So I've decided to be Waldo, from Where's Waldo, which will be one of a kind, comfortable and warm. Being warm is always a plus considering Halloween around theses parts is normally freezing and on occasion, dusted in snow flurries. All I need is a red and white stripped sweater and hat, extremely blue jeans and some glasses.

Last night I joined Whitney and Emily for an alternative dinner of nachos at Fajita's and Rita's, then did a little Halloween decorations shopping and went home to relax and watch Sex and The City Movie. All in all it was a relaxing evening, a nice break from doing schoolwork. Sometimes I have to take a mid-week break from work and do something to get away from homework.

I have to get back to work, but if anyone has any recommendations or ideas for costumes, throw them my way!!
