Friday Night Dress Up

Halloween is probably my favorite time of the year. My whole life I have loved getting dressed up and always had a collection of dress-up clothes and costumes. It's just so fun! Not to forget how much I love pumpkins and the color orange as well!

This past Friday I accompanied my boyfriend to a costume/going-away party for some friends of his that are moving to Toronto. It was pretty cool to have a reason to dress up (even if I usually dress up regardless), and a bit different since I'm not really a party person and meeting new people is not my strong suit sadly. It was a good night though!

Dan had the great idea of dressing up as Hunter S. Thompson for Halloween which worked out really well, and I went as a green fairy. (I also have a really awesome pink fairy costume if I am lucky enough to not be scheduled to work all night on Wednesday.)

Things I Love Thursday

This is my first installment of TILT, but I know it won't be my last! I don't have a source for all of my photos, they were just saved on my computer, sorry!

I love cat trees! I wish I had some fun things for Sirius to climb and lay on. Definitely something I want in a future house of mine for my furry friends!

This recipe for pumpkin/jack-o-lantern Rice Crispie treats! I can't wait to make these, simple and delicious!

I've always loved neat colored telephones, and I just can't get over how much I love this shade of green!

How can you resist the cuteness of this? I'm a sucker for cats.

Every time I make cookies I want to do this, I don't know what's stopping me!

I love pastel colored homes, and especially ones as beautiful as this.

I've been a Star Wars fan all of my life, and I love Halloween so this zombified picture of our favorite Sith is just great in my books!

What you loving this week?

Long time no see...

Oops, I've been neglecting this blog. Sorry! I really do need to start updating more. I'm going to find some writing promts online and just use them when I don't feel like I have anything to update about.

Since the last update, I haven't continued with my Couch to 5K training. Which kind of dissapoints me, but I am too lazy. I have however been trying to get out and enjoy the wonderful autumn weather. The day before last I went for a great 6K walk with mama on the Confederation Trails. It was beautiful, I love this time of the year! Tomorrow when I finish work I'm going apple picking at a local apple orchard with my mom and my aunt. I'm really looking forward to it!


I had bought myself a Halloween costume already, but I'm having second thoughts. I was planning on being Vemla from Scooby Doo after so many people told me last year that it would be the perfect costume for me. I guess it's too perfect, because when I wear the clothing I bought (orange sweater - not a turtle neck but a high neck, red mini skirt, orange knee-high socks) just feels like I'm wearing clothes I'd normally wear. Halloween to me is supposed to be about dressing up, and feeling like you're dressed up and in costume. I think I'm going to switch up my costume idea, because I want to feel dressed up, not like I'm just wearing my normal clothes with a wig.

Until next time, take care and thanks for reading!
