Holy crap! What have I been doing?! I can tell you what I haven't been doing:
1) I haven't been updating this blog
2) I haven't been sticking to my "I'm going to exercise and eat right so I don't gain 500 holiday pounds"
3) I haven't been getting all my holiday shopping done like I promised myself
4) I haven't been cooking myself dinner (popcorn and peanut butter off the spoon suffices, no?)
Anyways, to update you a wee bit on my happenings oh friends and family:
I went hanggliding! Finally! It took 4 weather related rescheduled in 4 months to finally take flight, but I made it!!! Now you may be asking youself: where the f*** does someone go hanggliding in Wisconsin?! There's no cliff there to leap off of! And of course you'd be absolutely correct. Instead, this impossibly small single-man glider tows you up on a cable until your high enough then *poof* drops you out of the sky. Quite fun actually! The ride up was a bit turbulent, but by no means the scariest thing I've ever tried. Just another tick mark on the never-ending bucket list of life!
Harnessed up and ready to go!
The tow up
Fly, my monkeys, FLY!
Halloween also came and went (as I'm sure you know unless you decided to boycott the month of October for some reason....) I'm always crazy excited for Halloween because dressing up and looking ridiculous is too much fun! I was invited out with some girlfriends from work (they forgave me for my embarrassing velociraptor costume 2 years ago and decided to give me one more chance at being seen in public with them) I recycled the old faithful costume of the poodle skirt! This thing is bordering on 18 years old! Originally made by my mama for a 2nd grade 'oldies' music recital - it's still going strong after only mild modifications. It was floor length on 2nd grade me - now it is more appropriately just below the knee. The elastic waist band has since been removed (I could pull it over my head when I was 100# soaking wet in high school) but now with these damn baby birthin' hips I've somehow acquired, I conveniently sewed in a zipper and think I can get another 20+ years outta this costume! Jackpot :P Halloween also consisted of pumpkin carving, but I didn't get a picture before it rotted out, and an awesome haunted house (where I'm sure my partner in crime on that endeavor was much more amused by my toddler like shrieks than the actual haunted house)
Ready to roll!
Hrmmm, what else can I tell you about? There's been a few girls nights out. I did my American duty and voted (early voting for the win! No waiting in long geriatric ridden lines for me on November 6!!!). I booked a ticket to go out to Colorado for Turkey Day. That about raps it up I think. Pretty low key. If I think of anything else, I'll let you guys know! Keep in touch!
