Katydid, Muppets, Drago-Lantern

Katydid what!?
(That was kinda lame...too bad, losers!)

First things first...

Here's the Katydid the boy and I found Saturday while cleaning up the yard. I thought it was alive in this picture. Apparently it was dead or was (and still is) very dormant. We still have it in his bug carrier. After I took this picture I went to pick it up and it fell over on it's side.

Costume Party!

Saturday night was a lot of fun...and I didn't even drink (Ok, one)! I was a good little DD. I danced and got ALOT of attention, but it wasn't because of my swaggering(sp?) good looks. In fact, nobody could even see my face. Ohhhh, that might explain things. Anyway, me and gal-pal H-dawg dressed up together for the costume party. She made these costumes 4 to 5 years ago for her and Mark. They did an awesome job with these. She kept telling from the start that we were going to win first prize. I had doubts. Not because of the costumes (They were awesome!) but because nothing like that EVER happens to me! I'm not usually very lucky. Things changed that night, and when it was down to Dorothy, Scarecrow, Ugly-security Guard, and us, the judges announced.....

...we were the winners! We won a $25 tab at the bar, a Browns jacket, and a 1/10 chance for a trip to Las Vegas! If we don't get the Vegas trip, we still get something else. The wife was extra happy (By happy I mean happy with sarcastic overtones) that I may win a Vegas trip with another woman. Haha. It's not like we'll actually be going, but it would be cool to win.

It was weird to me having complete strangers come up and start talking to you. I don't think I'm the most approachable person (mostly by design), so it was a definitely a change being the center of attention. I'm sure H and I are in a lot of people's pictures. There was also a neat little Daisy that was hangin' out with us too that probably snuck into some pictures ;-)

Drago-Lantern

After coming home from an always awesome dinner at Mary's house tonight (Thanks again!) I carved up a pumpkin. Here's my carving for this year. I was originally was going to do Yoda, but I never found a good design, and didn't want to waste time attempting to make one in photoshop. The boy picked out this design. Pretty good pick. I think i coulda done a little better on the tail if I used a razor, good enough for me though. Alright, time for bed. I need to try to make up for a bad night of sleep last night.

Happy Halloween!!!
