Weekends are far too short

I love weekends - who doesn't? But they are far too short, especially when you have things to do all day long. Friday night I had a very pleasant girls' night out. I went out with five other girls to a Thai restaurant. The food was good - the funny part was afterward. Apparently we didn't leave a big enough tip and the waitress literally followed us out of the restaurant and asked us if her service wasn't good enough. I guess we didn't discuss well enough between the six of us to see how much tip we were leaving, and we had given her a 10% tip. We added some onto our bill, but it was so strange. I have NEVER had that happen before. And aren't tips conditional anyways. But whatever, I know it's how she makes her living. After dinner we saw the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. It had tons of action and I liked it - not as much as Casino Royale, but it was still good and Daniel Craig was still yummy.

Saturday I had play practice. All day. From 9 am until 5 pm. We got a lot done but it was tiring. Especially because I'm just getting over being sick and I had to prance around and sing. And the fire alarm in the church went of twice. We had to evacuate and the firefighters came, complete with gear and axes. Luckily the alarm just had faulty wiring, but it was annoying. And after the play we had a ward dinner - Thanksgiving style - so I didn't leave the church until 8 p.m. I was exhausted!

And then on Sunday I went to church, went visiting teaching, and to my friend Lael's birthday get together. So here I am again on a Monday, at work and I am totally not ready for it. Where did my weekend go?

Halloween Shenanigans




Halloween was a lot of fun. I dressed up, I hung out with friends, I party hopped, I danced. Joy abounded. Fun costumes - a toothbrush and toothpaste.




Having fun dancing. Go Lael, go.








Penelope, gypsies, and Nacho Libre.




And that's me. Yes, I know I'm hot.






Here I am with my lovely friends - Tina as a Renaissance woman, Heather as a swashbuckling pirate, and me as Little Dead Riding Hood.
