Twins!

Ok, I know this is is a post right after another one, but my oldest sister told me to do it! And speaking of sisters...Mine are twins. Which got me to thinking the other day, is there anyone out there who looks like me? I have had people tell me I reminded them of so and so...Do you have a non-relative twin?? According to a lot of mine and Dan's friends, I remind them of Kristen Schaal. You may know her from The Daily Show and Flight of The Conchords. Do you see a resemblance?


In a previous post I talked about my Halloween costume. I think I am going to have two this year, which I will post about when I have pictures! But Dan and I will probably go with the theme, famous redheads of the 80s! I won't spoil Dan's costume, but I am going to be Molly Ringwald.



I am super excited put this costume together!

Besides looking like each other...I always thought my sisters looked like Melissa Joan Hart.

Who do you look like??

Dream Job!

It is FRIDAY!!!! When I was younger, I could never really relate to Loverboy's song, "Working for the Weekend"-but it really resonated with me this week. I am very glad it was Friday!

Today I was thinking, what would I would my dream job be? What would I do if I could do any job? I thought a bit and came up with a few options...In the fashion world-I think it would be fun to source fabrics for designers to wear. So I would go around and pick out textiles/fabrics from different vendors. Also another job would be to be a stylist who picks out outfits for a cast of a show or movie.

Another job I think I would like is to pick out the music for movie soundtracks. I love music and I love making mixed cds (even though it isn't cool to make cds anymore. In college I wored on the radio and loved making play lists. I think it would be fun.

Obviously, these are probably careers I would never pursue but it is fun to think about when days are slow at my current job =)!

So if you could do anything what would you do???

OctoBRrrrr!!

Things have been going good lately, and as a result haven't been able to update as much as I would like. I cannot believe it is October already-even though it still feels like summer here. I remember when I was little and October was cold!!!

Dan's dad came and visited this weekend. It was a lot of fun we went out to eat adn to a festival in Grandview.We also love to have visitor's (wink).

Anyways I have been reading my friend's blogs and this ONE has inspired me to write a little bit about Halloween, which is also one of my favorite holidays.

The other day I was driving and I saw some decorations that put a chill down my spine...not because they were supposed to be scary. It was like a witch doll, but very cartoonish looking and a mummy and they were hanging lifelessly in the tree. It really creeped me out. So here is a tip when decorating...let's not hang bodies from the trees...
Also I love costumes! You may (or may not) remember past (recent) years as a fem-bot and a girl gone wild. In middle school I won contests for being a Ty beanie baby and a Hershey kiss. And this year work is doing a contest, but I am coming up with costume (?) block.
I thought I could be Meredith from the office...and put a bat on my head and carry around a big gulp. But not everyone watches the show...Any suggestions??
Our friends are also excited about having a party this year- so Dan and I need to come up with something good...we have a few ideas, but maybe you have more? Oh and Raggedy Ann and Andy is out of the question...
