When I wasn’t bouncing around between classes, I was working. I managed to creep myself out by researching some spooky ghost stories for the Chicago’s Most Haunted guide I wrote. Seriously, having a school right next store to a haunted landmark is no fun.
I found out that in addition to the 8-page lab report I have to write this week I have to create some charts and what not for a pre-lab. That’s for the extra work teach!
After school I had to go bed shopping with my mom. But why? I already bought a bed didn’t I? Yes, I did. However Sears has way too high of interest rates and we decided to go with another store. The salesman was pretty craptastic. He kept talking to my mom, referring to me as “she,” as if I wasn’t there. Um, hello. I’m the 24-year-old who’s buying a bed, not her. Talk to me or at least look at me. Anyway, it ended up costing more than I wanted to spend, but whatever. Hopefully I made the right decision. I guess it’s great because I was approved to finance a bed. Apparently it’s easier to buy a car than a mattress. Winner.
Tomorrow my grandpa is getting an angioplasty. If all goes well he’ll only be in the hospital for a day or two. If his veins are too weak, he’ll go into full blown surgery and will in there for 7-10 days. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well.

Oh! I bought my Halloween costume tonight. It’s super spooky. Are you ready for this?
I know. It’s spine-tingling.

I like the Mummy “costume”. Is it just a shirt? No mummy pants?
Thanks for the link, Jenn!

It’s technically not a costume at all, but I’m just not feeling it this year. It’s only a shirt.

You and Dave are too cute.

I hope things with your grandpa go well tomorrow!
Also, where would one find a shirt like that? It would be useful for this Halloween party I have to go to that I’m just not that excited about…

I’m so insensitive. I didn’t read your entire post. I somehow skipped the paragraph about your grandpa. I guess I was distracted by the mummy shirt picture. I hope everything goes great for your grandpa tomorrow. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

That might be the best costume ever.

I hope everything goes well with your Grandfather. Having family going through medical procedures is always stressful.

I don’t have a costume for this year because I don’t have anywhere to go! I could just stay home in my old faithful playboy bunny getup and eat chocolates.
Bottle up the crazy. Love it.

Chilling costume

1) The new design ROCKS. I especially love the tagline.
2) The mummy costume? Not so much a costume but I’d let you get away with it.

Loving the new look Jenn! And your Halloween costume is totally my kind of costume! If I end up going out and am forced to dress up, I’m going to have to ask you where you got that from haha
Hope your grandpa is okay. My dad has had quite of few of those and heart surgeries. Anything to do with the heart scares the crap out of me so I’ll be thinking of your grandpa!

Cute costume. One time my boss and I went to our work Halloween costume as an E-mail and an attachment. He wore a T-shirt with a big E on it and I wore a shirt with a paper clip through it. Riviting I know

I LOVE the new design! Love. Love. I went to a party over the weekend that half-heartedly intended as a costume party. Except nobody dressed up. Just me. But I was a popular Nun, let me tell you.
