I'm alive....

Barely. I am nose deep in Mathematical equations and, business terms and learning about how the Nandi's wipe their booties. It's all far too interesting and complicated and so i'm ignoring you...

Just kiddin. I  hate it. All of it, but I'm determined to pass these bitches (my classes) and so I have to keep my head in the books. I just took a short break to breathe, nibble and hydrate!

I am however doing my November Thankfuls in picture form, which I will post when all of this crap is over.

Until then...Tootle-Loo!

I Vote...that Everybody Shutup!

Let me say this: I am proud to be an American. I am ever so thankful for the rights that I have in this beautiful country. I'm a woman, I'm African American and Latina, and I have the right to vote. I am so thankful for the people that fought and sacrificed for me to be able to do so.  I have exercised my right and my right not to vote.

This year, I am especially annoyed with the Election. People, that I know can't even spell election, are acting like they have had all the facts of what the President has done and not done and what needs to be done.  I've never seen so much action. Where was all this hullabaloo during the last 4 years? Not a peep from anybody about anything. Half of these folks just found out it was time to vote, the day before. Then when Obama won (No I didn't vote....but I don't think we were quite ready for Mitt) people are talking about how disgusted they are with it and how the world is in the shit hole etc, How they're going to move to Canada etc...  I'm just like...shut the hell up. He got reelected...so deal with it. I can't wait til everyone quiets down with this crap. Like...man, you didn't give 2 shits about anything and now you wanna talk about how the President should run the country? Go to sleep!

Honestly, I wasn't super excited about either one of the candidates. They both have their good and their bad. I don't trust either one of them. They talk a big talk, and say what they gotta say to gets votes. Once they got their foot in the door....it's another story.  All we can do is sit back and watch how everything unfolds. The people really don't have much say in it all. Everybody likes to make you think you do, but it's more like a tally. How many people like Obama over Mitt...Huh...well that's nice...but what really counts is this Electoral College vote that has nothing to do with all of ya'll people standing in line. SMH

LOL...J/K...vote if you want :)

Anyway,

Now we get onto more upbeat things....Like Thanksgiving!.....

Candy Licker

Here's a lil classy music treat I've recently discovered!

Trick or Treat

Here's a lil F.F. about me. I love me some Halloween. I don't know what it is.  The crisp autumn air, the crinkle of leaves as you walk down the sidewalk, the long dark days. I dunno, but I dig it! It's the only Holiday that I really feel like you can decorate yourself and your house to the fullest. I'm not really into Christmas and Thanksgiving, I just want to decorate my stomach...with food. I have lil decor here and there for all the holidays but I love going all out for Halloween.  My mom has always been super crafty and hand made almost all of our costumes growing up so...cheers to Mom for passing it onto me!

We live in a Condo, so we get ZERO trick or treaters. I doubt if my neighbors even notice the lovely homemade skull and cross-bone wreath I made or my candy corn vases. Sigh...So I happily bombard my mother's house with all of my ideas. I think even she was kind of shocked how excited I was to transform her house into a witches den. 

The lovely Pinterest helped me in more ways than one this year. I made Coen's costume and I got a lot of decorating ideas. We took Coen out on Saturday for Witchery or something on Historic 25th street.  His costume was a big hit. People were stopping me to take pictures of him. Poor kid could hardly walk  in the thing, so I had to be on face-plant-protection-status at all times. He was adorable and I was feeling pretty damn pleased with myself. 

Today of course, he wanted nothing to do with the costume and instead cried and tried to pull it off and ate half of the marshmallows. LOL. Kids...they like to keep you on your toes I tell ya.  He was THE cutest lil cup of Hot Cocoa you've ever seen in your life and I'm glad that at least on Saturday he participated and we got a few pics.

I however, had a friggin blast getting all dressed up with my mom and hubby while Coen proudly paraded around the house with a sticky marshmallow face and no costume ha ha.

Me and Mom on our awesome porch:

Snacks we made for scary movie night

The kids can't have all the fun right? Here's me and the Dark Knight aka My husband :)

These eyelashes weighed about 900 lbs each.  I can now officially lift a refrigerator with my eyelids!

Happy Halloween Folks!
