daytime population

I worked the entire weekend, so I had yesteredeay and today off. Yesterday, I had grand plans to stay awake most of the day and go to sleep early in the evening. I did some homework and checked my email. Then Dawniepie came over to visit and we went through some of the mess that is in the basement. But...that discovery lead to finding all my yearbooks, let me tell you that was an interesting trip down memory lane!!! Then I decided to relax, take a little nap because I was very sleepy. I lied down at 2pm and woke up a couple hours later...MIDNIGHT!!! Oh no! Now I'm up for the night! Great!! I was finally able to go back to sleep around 4.

I got up today at 7am. I did some research on my social policy project for a couple hours. Then I headed out into the land of the living. I went shopping. I managed to get my sister's birthday gift. A new bag for my laptop. Dawn's bday gift from my mom. And, I found my halloween costume!!! I went to Party City and they have some fabulous costumes and you're allowed to try them all on, but...they don't have a mirror. What kind of insanity is that? It's in interesting procedure. They have a wall of pictures, all with numbers on assigned to them. You have to find a sales rep and tell them what number costume you want and the size involved. So, I pick out like five different costumes, but I figured I'll only try on two at a time. I went for the Goldilocks costume, it seemed to fit ok, but I couldn't see what I looked like without a mirror. Then I looked at the price tag. $60 for just a dress...no thanks. I settled on costume #2, and angel. It was comfy in the store and in the right price range, so...we have a winner.

Whats your halloween costume?

No costume here!! I work at the school with the older kids and they are not allowed to dress up anymore because their costumes got a little too BLOODY! As far as trick or treating I am the candy passer outer! Phil always takes the kids, that is his thing. Thank god because we all know how much I love the cold. Have fun at your halloween party. Molly
