happy hallowe'en!

Two years ago, I was a schoolgirl with her nerd. A year ago, I was a senorita named Rita. This year for Halloween? I'm dressing as an essay-writer ... so basically, my regular attire, my computer, and two books all ready to duke it out and write a paper that's due tomorrow. Spooky, huh? (insert Debbie Downer music here)

The main reason why I've continued to dress up over the years is because one of my best friends' birthdays happens to fall on Halloween, so the two went hand-in-hand. This time, due to work, we had to celebrate early so we just dressed up as ladies celebrating a birthday :)

Four best friends that a gal could ask for :)

Me with the birthday girl!

The night involved delicious food, cupcakes, catching up on life, meeting some pet rats (and surprisingly not being disgusted by it), and having a few more shots of vodka than I had anticipated to (but I was fiiiiiiiine, hehe). Now I'm just expecting to curse anyone who dares to ding-dong on our door for candy while I'm writing my paper :P

As for the rest of my week? Well, I dyed my hair! The box on the right a few posts ago ended up being the winner, and I ended up with more or less the same hair colour as before - just a tad lighter with a reddish pop :) And my second highlight of the week involved a surprise from The Boy - our loaded schedules mean that sometimes Wednesday nights is our only real night to spend together and this past one involved:

A delicious meal in the form of spaghetti, palacsinta (Hungarian crepes, recipe of the week!) and wine complete with candlelight.

That classic cliche that the way through a man's heart is through his stomach? The same can be applied to me. I was shocked and touched :) It was a perfect meal but it raised the stakes ... what should I cook for him for the next surprise dinner? *Suggestions gratefully welcomed :)* 

And I'm slowly starting to get into the swing of things blog-wise; it's the first month since May that I've actually made more than six posts in a month so that's an improvement? But I definitely need to catch up, so bare with me and thanks, as always, for sticking by here and for being amazing bloggers.

Now, I must ask:

What did you do this Hallowe'en weekend?

And what's the creepiest thing that's ever happened to you?

I'm trying to remember the most creepiest. The main things that come to mind are gross men on buses or the time that it was stormy and I was hanging out at a friend's house. When the rain fell softly, we decided to take a stroll to the pizza store to get some food, and there were WORMS ALL OVER THE SIDEWALK. I hate wooooooorms, their squirmy bodies all over the sidewalk and you don't want to step on them so you tiptoe all around them bleerghhhh.

Oh, or the time that me and my co-workers were sitting in the staff room at the high school and suddenly some woman came over the speakerphone on the phone nearby and went, "Heeeellooooooo?" in the creepiest high-pitched voice. I used to write 'creepy' as 'creppy' ... and yes. Hope you all have a great start to November!
