I banish thee, mucus!

I am feeling a lot better in the head and body today, but my lungs and nose are still coated with slime. In more exciting news, I am going to J’s work to help decorate for Halloween. J’s work and my work are in the same building, but at different companies. He manages a call center that takes calls for EA and I work on the other side of the glass working for that company directly. I am pretty sure that I am helping decorate Halloween for his side. Should be fun, I was apparently volunteered without my knowledge as J knows I love decorating. One of the perks of the volunteering was to go shopping but the director already did that part. Boooo. I would like to dress up this year but I have no idea yet if we are doing anything, probably not. I have never seen J get dressed up but since he is a manager and his people are expected to dress up maybe he will! That should be funny. If he does, then I would too, if we were going out somewhere of course.
I have been on a total pumpkin kick lately. (Go figure, right?) I swear though, I used to kind of hate the pumpkin spice flavor, but I absolutely adore it now. I have pumpkin beer, pumpkin coffee creamer, oh the Starbucks pumpkin frappucinos are to die for. Pumpkin pie well that is a given! Last year I thought I hated pumpkin pie and had a piece and then another piece and then another piece it was like someone lit the pumpkin candle in my jack-o-lantern head. I am obsessed with it now, can not get enough! Speaking of pumpkin, we are thinking about carving a pumpkin this year that will be a 1st in a long time as well. While browsing the HEB last night, I saw the pumpkins and mentioned to J we should carve a pumpkin! He said … for work? I used this opportunity to say “Yes, we can carve it then bring it to work” He replied “Ok”. See the progres here people? He is normally not all that keen on fun… well, he is but it takes him a long time to get up to doing something like carve a pumpkin in your late 20s/early 30s. Me on the other hand, you know I never lost my childish whimsy. So anyway, from now on when I want to do cute things for no reason, I can say we will bring it to work.. yeah, that’s the ticket.

We also saw Egg Nog while strolling HEB. It’s the best feeling when you spot Egg Nog in the store for the first time! It’s like NOW it’s really going to be Christmas soon. I feel particularly indifferent about Egg Nog. Being a major opposer of milk, but a big fan of ice cream, I am torn when I sip Egg Nog. It is tasty for a few sips, and then at that point I pass the rest to the BF.

so hey here is how it works….yes hun they are for work but I want to buy 3 to put them around the place(work that is) after you carve the three say actually this is a little much for work and viola you have got yourself a pumpkin for the house!! boy I love my idea it works every year ;D but with me it goes a little different, dave says I don’t feel like carving a pumpkin I say oh you might lets just get one for each of us just in case and then I will carve it if you don’t I start then Dave comes and wants one for himself.. I then just smile and enjoy the pumpkins………Have Fun!!!! I know he will.
