Happy Halloween!
Hello, everyone! Halloween started at 7:30 am here. We decided to just be in costume all
day. So, here it is in pictures:
 Now if you have spent any time with me, you know this is the costume I pull out every year. It's
a leftover from my SCA days. Maybe next year I will spring for a totally different look.
These next couple of pics are from the other night when we carved the pumpkin. Cirel insisted that
I use the scary stencil...you'll see.
 Ain't we cute?
 Yum...guts. Yes, Cirel did actually eat chunks of raw pumpkin. She seemed to enjoy it.
 Here is the mummy with the lights on. (Cirel named him Scarecrow)
 Here is "Scarecrow" with no lights. She made me eat dinner to the light of this scary motherfucker.

Knock Knock
Cirel's first Knock Knock joke:
Cirel: Knock, knock
Me and Danny: Who's there?
Cirel: It's me, Cirel....open the door.

It's finally happened
Being a stay-at-home mom has finally seeped into my soul. I kept wondering how I could escape this "pit"
and I found a great job. Yesterday, I interviewed for a restaurant in town that needs a cook. I would never have to work past
3 p.m. Nice, huh?! I got the job....
Now, I am going to refuse it. For some reason, the strongest objection I have is that I would have to change Cirel's
schedule drastically. She has already had to go through a lot of changes in a short amount of time. We left Olympia, she started
school, etc.
Anyway, I am happy about this decision. I must admit...it feels nice to know that I can still get a good paying job when
I need to. When Cirel hits school full-time...watch out world!

Everybody was Chili Cookin'!
I didn't win. *sigh*. Oh well. I didn't even place. There were 23 chilis and they picked the top 8. It was fun
trying though. Luckily, it isn't my recipe anyway so, I don't feel too bad. Nobody inadvertently dissed my momma.
Here's the recipe I used: Loser Chili (Just kidding. This stuff is REALLY good)
And now...photos.
Me in the kitchen with "Chili on the P.R.O.W.L."
"Chili on the P.R.O.W.L." on location.
Danny and Cirel thinking about all the chili they aren't going to eat.
The reason we named it "Chili on the P.R.O.W.L." is because the location of the competition is called the P.R.O.W.L.
Center. Danny is so imaginative.

Fuggers
Okay this site ( Go Fug Yourself) is awesome. It's got everything I love: wit, sarcasm, and style. Everything Carie Bradshaw wishes she could be.
On the domestic front, I will be entering a chili-cookoff tomorrow. Cross your fingers...first prize is a trip to Seattle.
Woot.

The Art of Conversation
It seems to be lost on me. I went to a work-related function with Danny and I got to meet a lot of the people
he works with and some spouses.
Everyone is very nice and interesting and I feel like a simpering idiot. I have nothing to talk about except Cirel. (Whendidthathappen!?)
I never ask people questions about themselves. I can't think of what to say beyond, "How are you?". I can't remember a person's
name 2 seconds after s/he told me. It's sad.
I swear I used to be some sort of social butterfly, now I get the willies just thinking about being around other adults.
Of course, kids scare me more...they always want things. lol
Sometimes I just can't believe that I am her.

My little artist
This morning, Cirel runs into the computer room with her Dora drawing pad and shows me her creation:
Isn't it adorable! I swear she drew that herself because no one else was in the room with her. I was amazed because usually
her drawings consist of erratic lines going nowhere. How in the world did that happen?
