Happy Halloween!!

We hope everyone enjoys today. Stay safe.

My work dressed up today (but what else is new... we look for any excuse to have a party).

I'll have pictures soon.

Our new bundle of joy....

Stay tuned for more information!!! Just thought I'd peak your curiosity. HAHA, what a stinker I am :)

See what happens!!

This is what happens when the husband messes around while the wife is carrying 2 large glass vases.

Doug saw my hands were full last weekend when I found a couple vases while unpacking. I started walking to the kitchen to put them away and Doug thought he'd mess with me. I threw my arms together to block him and slammed the vases into each other. I felt like crying and laughing at the same time. Laughing because it was soooo funny, but crying because I was lame enough to slam glass together. I had pants on and the glass cut through them somehow. Doug and I are thankful the glass didn't land upside down on my foot since the base of the vase bounced off my toes. Glass was all over the place and of course the vacuum was at the apartment when this happened.

But priorities ya know...when it happened I sat on the ground so I wouldn't get blood on the carpet and said, "Doug, get the camera! This will be a funny post!"

Steal a Base, Steal a Taco

It's that time of year again and you know how I love finding deals or free stuff.

Taco Bell is giving away a free taco on Tuesday the 28th from 2pm-6pm.

Boss' Day

We decorated and ordered Chinese food for our boss. Suzanne was all by her lonesome until the rest came in.

Always fighting to get photos of these 2.

Doug with facial hair

Doug has to be clean shaven for one of his jobs. He had a week off from that job and decided to grow some facial hair. I guess some guys at his other job were having a facial hair growing race. Doug beat them in the first couple days. It's a good thing they weren't racing him. After this picture he went and shaved, but left a mustache. He looked like he needed some aviator sun glasses and a CHP motorcycle. He is back to his clean shaven self now. This picture doesn't really do it justice, but you get the idea.

What could all these pieces make?

A desk of course!!

Joe's Crab Shack

I sure hope to go to this restaurant again. The food was really good and it was a blast watching the staff stop everything and dance in the middle of everything.

What!??? Free crab tomorrow!?? I'm going back tomorrow!

A couple signs for the home...

Staff dancing away. The shirts the staff wore were really funny too. They said things like, "Got Crabs? We do." and "We catch crabs so you don't have to."

There was a large case of crabs too.

Birthday fun to share

I've never been on light-rail, so a few friends and I ventured out to light-rail and rode it to downtown Sacramento. After the machine ate our $20 bill, we were let on for free one way. Becky had mentioned in the car on the way there that she buys tickets and no one checks them, but the one time she won't have a ticket someone will ask for it. Sure enough! No tickets = ticket checker!! Luckily the guy that let us on for free was driving/conducting - whatever it would be called - and we were able to tell the ticket checker the guy was up front if he needed to verify. He left us and went to check other passengers for tickets. Well, the woman in the seat across from us had her own views about us not getting tickets and shared them. "Uh huh, that's tha only time I eva seen dat happen'!" "Must be gittin' close to da holidays, mmmm hmmmm." "I ain't neva seen no one get away wit outta ticket on dis trian. uh huh. mmm hmmm." Oh yea, she wouldn't let it go. So we begin talking amongst ourselves again and laugh that the machine spit the $20 out and we put it back in thinking it's like a lame soda machine that spits out money a few times before it takes it. Well, here come her opinions again..."If I put in $20 and da machine spits et out, there wouldn't a been a second time. mmmm hmmm, uh huh." It's such a fun story now! So now I'll share the rest of the story using the photos below.

Becky's sister Roxane and I on one side.

Becky and Christy on the other side.

We found a fun Halloween area and took some photos.

I guess this one won a ribbon, but they sure chose a specific location to place it.
Down town train decorated.
Had to buy taffy! It's so hard to choose flavors, so I usually grab about 3-5 of almost every flavor.
Adults only! We had to leave Becky outside at this shop. HAHA
Off to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch. I was given a hat and pom-poms.

Little did I know I had to cheer while the restaurant sang Happy Birthday.
The end of our day...We were left by 2 light-rail trians. See, no train. Roxane even walked up to a trian and pushed the button and the doors wouldn't open. Then I heard a click twice and figure the conductor guy locked them twice. LAME!Us bored waiting for the train. Silly sun made the photo dark.
I kept running back and forth to set the camera on rocks by the train tracks. I told the gals to make sure a train didn't come and hit me while I was goofing around.

Still bored!

It was a fun day! And best of all, I have a fun story from the day. On the ride back we bought tickets and the same ticket checker got on and didn't ask us to see our tickets. After a little chit chatting he remembered the machine had eaten our money. We got some great stories form him and his female coworker. Roxane had noticed how people scattered and hopped off the train when they saw someone coming on to check tickets. I asked how much a ticket was for getting caught without a ticket and I mentioned to the 2 checkers about the people scattering and they shared story after story. One guy they went to court for over a ticket had other officers there for him too, like CHP and such. They were really fun to talk to. They told us they were on their way to Folsom because a 4 year old got off the train and her grandma wasn't able to get off fast enough, so the little girl was left alone; luckily a good Samaritan got off the train to be with her until they could get the grandma back to her.

Great Coworkers!

Although not until tomorrow, I came into work yesterday and my desk was decorated for my birthday. There was confetti all over the desk too, but this is what it looks like today. I left it for today since my birthday isn't until until tomorrow. My friend/coworker Kristie made a "brownie/cookie bite". It was brownie mix mixed with cookie dough and baked. Yummy for sure! My coworkers gave me great gifts too. I'm so lucky to work with such great people!
What's with the weird glare, smeary photo? Yeah, it's a finger print on the lens. Cute huh?
