The flyin', the witch and the whatever

Belated Halloween greetings from my awesomely cute niece and nephew, Chance and Hope. Oh, and my brother's not too ugly, either.

(Thanks to Dad for sending the pics!) Can you believe how much they've grown?

Gouls, Goblins, Tuna and Football

Last night after work I stopped by to see Huey, Dewie and Louie's Halloween costumes on my way to Little Rock. Here they are, in all of their glory.

Beaver was a werewolf (I think that's what it is).

Brady (AKA Troy Aikman) is OBSESSED with football. It's frightening.

Isn't this the cutest skeleton EVER? And though he looks sweet, trust me... he's not!

Me and the boys

The whole famn damily

I met Joe in Little Rock and we met up with Estella at Williams Sonoma. Then we had a yummy meal at P.F. Chang's. No lettuce wraps this time, but some amazing ahi tuna, spareribs, and kung pao shrimp. The service wasn't great, but the food and company were fantastic!

This is the three of us outside my new favorite store, the Fresh Market.

Only 54 shopping days 'til Christmas!

Unlucky #7

Seven is no longer considered a lucky number for me. Not when the scales moved up seven pounds in five days. How much Halloween candy could I have possibly eaten?

Since it's such a beautiful day, I packed my tennis shoes and walked around the Center of Learning at lunch. I don't think I walked off seven pounds, but I did see some interesting characters.

I'm stopping by to see Huey, Dewie and Louie's Halloween garb before heading to Little Rock, so I'll be posting some pics later. And hopefully Taylor will remember to send me pics of his bro and sis as well.

I'm already tasting the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang's... yum!

Scrub the Floors, Cindarelly

I've been cleaning the ol' casa for three and a half hours. I just don't understand how I accumulated so much filth. I live alone. I'm reasonably neat. How is my place so messy? I vacuumed up five pounds of hair... part of it mine, part of it the cat's. Granted, hair loss runs in the family, but unlike my dad and my brother, mine seems to grow back.

Now I'm watching Barely Manenough sing "Mandy" on "Dancing with the Stars." That's actually a good song. Barely looks like he's had almost as much work as Wayne Newton.

And allegedly Sabrina Bryan's departure on "Dancing" is the biggest shock ever (kinda like "the most dramatic rose ceremony ever" every week on "The Bachelor.") I for one am happy not to have to hear anymore adjectives like "cheetalicious."

I'm excited about tomorrow 'cause I'm meeting my friends Joe and Estella in Little Rock for dinner at PF Chang's then shopping at Williams Sonoma and the Fresh Market (my two favorite stores). I'm also hoping that the kids from the child center eat all of the Halloween candy I've been stuffing my face with at the office when they trick-or-treat in the morning.

Wow. I just realized how very random this whole entry is. Sorry... I'm exhausted from the hair extraction.

So, what's everyone going to be for Halloween? Hope's going as her favorite movie character, "Cindawewa."

It's a scary, scary world

Don't mean to steal Jen's thunder (I assumed she'd post these by now), but these are some pretty scary Halloween pics. Memaw's evidently been influenced by her work, and Peep was dressed as a gynocologist. Enjoy!

The end of Redbeard

Evidently Cousin Matt can now shave. He scored the winning touchdown in the Jags come-from-behind win over the Bucs last night.
