1) Raining outside with me inside.
2) Taking a two hour nap on the Love Sac.
3) My husband on my right keeping me warm.
4) My dog on my left keeping me warm.
Oh yeah, now that makes a great Sunday.

The person who designed my tub should be drug out into the street and shot.
Or at least given a stern talking to. Our tub has a built in stopper thing and in theory that’s not bad but what is bad about it is that there is no way to take the stopper completely out. Now whoever thought this was a good idea must have been bald because what happens is my long hair gets stuck in the drain and there’s no way to get it out. I shed more than the dog does so this definitely causes a problem. The worst part is because it takes practically a whole day for the tub to completely drain this causes the bottom to be really slippery. One of these days I am surely going to kill myself slipping in the tub. Who knew taking a shower could be so dangerous.

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween all! What’s the scariest thing coming? My participation in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). The rules are simple; next month I am to write in my blog everyday for the entire month. It’s sure to be fraught with boring nonsensical entries for all of my two readers to enjoy. Yay! Hi Mom!

Can I get this in a shorter size please?
Can someone please tell me why all female Halloween costumes must be of the slutty variety? I’ll admit, that if I had the body that could accommodate a slutty costume I’d totally be all over that but unfortunately I do not possess such a body type and would appreciate having a larger variety of non-slutty costumes, that’s all I’m saying. What brings up this rant? Well, the other day I went to Spirit Halloween to go buy a costume for Witches Night Out and had a tough time finding a witch costume that didn’t have such a short skirt that butt cheek showed or was so low cut that if a stiff breeze hit me just right I’d be topless. I just wanted a nice costume that covered up all my parts, is that really too much to ask? Out of the entire store I found three costumes, three! That were long and covered up everything and luckily I ended up liking one of them so I suppose all hope is not lost.I must say, aside from the lack of conservative costumes, the Spirit Halloween store was quite nice because they let you try on the costumes before you bought them, which was awesome because one of the dresses I was thinking of getting would have been quite the disappointment after bringing it home. I highly suggest purchasing a costume there especially if you’re looking to slut it up a bit. Just to be clear I have nothing against the ladies who want to slut it up on Halloween, like I said, I would too if I could but I cannot and I am mostly jealous of those who can. Moving on…
I did witness quite the hilarious conversation while shopping for my witch paraphernalia though. It seems I am not the only one that has complaints about the number of sexy/slut costumes available. A middle aged gentlemen pulled aside, well more like yelled so the entire store could hear, a young teenage employee and complained that there weren’t enough sexy male costumes to chose from and asked the young man if any more were going to come in. Teenage employee got the best deer in headlights look and was totally thinking about going to ask someone if more sexy male costume were coming in but then he decided to tell middle aged man that they weren’t expecting anymore new costumes. It was pretty funny. So apparently we need less sexy/slutty female costumes and more sexy/slutty male costumes. Good to know…

Bat Dog!
Bryan and I got Tibor’s Halloween costume in the mail yesterday and I have to say I was quite pleased with the outcome. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you Tibor. What do you think? You think he likes it? 
Sure in a couple pictures it looks as though he’s plotting our deaths but give him a treat and he’s over it in about half a second. He was a surprisingly good sport about letting me dress him up too. He sat very still while I was putting his costume on and didn’t try to bite me once. He tolerated having the costume on a lot longer than I had anticipated as well. He amused us for about five minutes and then proceeded to roll round on the floor making strange noises so we were merciful and took it off, but watch out Tibor! Come Halloween, that baby stays on all night!

Kara 2.0
That’s right, on Saturday we played WoW from 10am to 9pm…9pm! God we’re nerds! Kara 2.0 was goods times nonetheless. It wasn’t quite the success as Kara 1.0 due to the fact the Holste boys couldn’t physically be there with us but seven out of ten really wasn’t too bad. Wetzel couldn’t make it at all due to a job or something, I don’t know… Unfortunately the Holste boys could only grace us with their on-line presence for about four hours and after that we had to PUG (pick up group) people, which majorly sucks. There were a few good people we got to come along with but us the majority were jerks, probably because they were twelve-year-old boys but still… Courtesy is never a bad thing people. I won’t get into how people were rude because it would involve too much WoW talk that only truly nerdy people will understand but trust me, you get some crappy people, namely Bitzit. If you ever run into this guy on Anetheron tell him he sucks and put him on your ignore list, moving on…
Tibor was super helpful during play time as always, the best part was at the beginning when he decided lying underneath the tables we were playing on was a good idea and then upon further inspection deciding it would be an even better idea to start licking the power strip outlets that were located in his vicinity. Needless to say, Tibor got a little shock from that one. All we heard was a yelp and then Tibor darting out from under the table. From that point on he switched from licking power cords to licking feet so that’s better…I guess…
Here’s to Kara 2.1 that we will hopefully have in September!

My eyebrows are trying to take over the world.
After realizing that my eyebrows were starting to morph into one intelligent life form and starting to wave at passer-byers I decided it was time for a wax. I made an appointment at my usual brow-waxing haunt, Estilo. Now my eyebrows are one thing that I really tend to splurge on. I figure my eyebrows are right there for everyone to see so no need in being stingy and risking having my eyebrows completely waxed off and then having to draw them in with eyeliner because that’s just not cool with me, I’d look freakish. I just love Estilo because it is so hip and the people that work there are awesome and tell you what you should do instead of asking me what I want because I have no idea how to make myself look good, that’s why I go to them so that awesome. It’s pretty expensive but totally worth in my opinion.
The woman who does eyebrows there, I think her name is Rina, is the most awesomely crazy, intimidating person ever. She’s a little older I think, like in her 40’s but I’m not positive because I’m horrible at guessing people’s ages, but way more hip and stylish than I could ever be so I kind of love her. She’s way nice but in an aggressive, scary kind of way and I love to hear the people there gossip while I’m being worked on, it’s like I’m on a TV show about style or something.
So Rina does all her waxing, plucking, cutting, etc. and shows me my new face and I am very pleased. It is crazy how different I look. I like that she shows me my brows after she’s only done one of them so I can compare and see the difference and it just blows me away every time. One day maybe I’ll take a picture of it if I’m ever brave enough. When she’s all done I remove the headband she uses to keep my bangs out of my face and I give it back to her and attempt to fix my bangs back into place covering up most of my face. Now Rina was just not having this. She decided I needed to do something to show off my new brows and not hide my face so she starts running around the store picking up headbands that they sell. This place is also kind of like a classier Clair’s and they sell all kinds of accessories. So she puts a headband on me and it’s all sparkly and way too fancy for me to wear to anything but a high school dance and I’m thinking, oh great I’m going to have to buy this headband that probably costs fifty bucks and never be able to wear it because I can’t say no to this women.
For one she is way excited about me getting a headband and two, because I’m a little afraid she may yell at and/or hit me if I say no thanks. After trying on the blingy, fancy headband she has me try on a yellow, ribbon-like one (shown below) and she just flips out.
She tells me she doesn’t even want me to try on any of the others and this is one and I say, ok, and that’s that. Luckily it only cost $12 instead of my expected $65 so that wasn’t so bad. I go to take the headband off and tell her ok I’ll take it but she yells at me and says I have to wear it out and I freeze and slowly bring my hands away from said headband. She then proceeds to instruct everyone in the salon to look at me and tell me how fantastic I look and how the yellow in the headband brings out the gold in my eyes. At this point I just want to pay and get the hell out of there before she makes me buy anything else. Finally I escape and was planning on throwing the headband in my drawer of hair accessories that I never wear but then I decided that I’d give it a chance. I chose to believe that as soon as I left they didn’t all start laughing and saying what a dumbass I was. Instead I chose to believe that they genuinely thought I looked good.
In any case, I wore the headband today and got many compliments, even an 'you look exceptionally cute today.' Heh, I guess they know what they’re talking about. Ahh…I can’t wait till my next brow waxing appointment…it’s always such an adventure.

Aside from eyebrows what else have I been up to you say? Well, I finally graduated college! FINALLY! After only eight years, go me… I can’t believe I’m finally done, it’s been such a big part of my life for so long that I kind of don’t know what to do with myself now. I guess the next step is finding an exempt position instead of being hourly. Ugh, I hate job searching. I think I’ll just stay in good ol’ Financial Aid for a little while longer; I still like it so far.
