I dressed up as Harley Quinn for Halloween and went to a party with Scott (who went as a Monarch henchman from Venture Bros). It rained for most of the night and the original plan was to have a dance party outside, but it was too wet, cold, and mushy. So it turned into a sit around and look at each other sort of party. By about 11:30 I was ready to go home. Another lackluster Halloween :( It was nobody's fault, but it's still sort of frustrating that no matter how hard I try, I end up bored on Halloween. I miss going to parties with JP. Together we are the Halloween Danger Duo.
My first week working full-time went well. By today I was ready to get home and relax...it's definitely going to take some getting used to. It's been over a year since I last worked full-time. The office manager bumped me up to a full 40 hours so I can have benefits after 90 days. That's right, soon I'll have health insurance again, after two frustrating years with no coverage. Such a relief!
I'm still love love loving my car. After work I bought floor mats, cleaning wipes for the dash, etc., and a lint roller for the upholstery (which attracts a surprising amount of lint/cat hair, joy). I never made much effort to keep my old car clean, but oh, how things have changed. My baby is going to stay beautiful.
It's so funny, I'll walk back to my car after parking somewhere and have a giddy attack. "ARMAGAD, this is MY car. Yuuuuhhhhhssss!" She still needs a name, though...Scott suggested Baby, as in Baby from Dirty Dancing, but that's too easy. So the next suggestion was Jennifer Grey, haha. Too long, and Jennifer? Not my style. Most recently mom suggested Frances, as in, Baby's real name (yeah, in Dirty Dancing). It's currently under consideration ;)
Right now my Mingus is snuggled up next to me and we're watching "Trauma: Life in the E.R."
Yep, life is good!
