Winter has arrived

As I write this post today, it is roughly 44 degrees outside, there is a wind advisory, and the rain has just cleared up. I am sitting in my chair with a beenie, blanket, sweats, and uggs on. I have been FREEZING all day. That's right people...winter is finally here. I am scared to see what January and February are like because apparently those are the coldest months. At least it's not humid! I am going to keep reminding myself of that.

Besides trying to stay warm, things have been pretty quiet for Jeremy and myself. We did venture to New York to hang out with Phin, Carla, and Jake for a little Halloween party. It was a great time filled with awesome costumes and even more awesome karaoke. I think that is my favorite thing about New York, they have karaoke places where you go into your own little room with all of your friends and sing your heart out. This appeals to me because I have a horrible singing voice and only want to inflict pain on my closest friends, not strangers. Although, I don't know if that is fair...oh well.

So Jeremy and I were traveling gnomes this Halloween and I think everyone really enjoyed our costumes. Here we are in all our glory...


At my work we had a Halloween party and I dressed in Jeremy's costume. I thought I would be more recognizable as the traveling gnome if I was the boy. I didn't win our costume contest, although I think I was shafted because I am a temp. I did bake cookies and with Jeremy's help they were decorated as awesome bloodshot eyeballs.


So that is about it from New Haven. We still keep our head on a swivel when driving or walking because you never know what some crazy person is going to do. We got honked at while walking in a crosswalk and of course I started freaking out on the lady. I just gave her a nasty look and yelled what the hell. Jeremy had to hold me back. I think I need to start meditating because I obviously have some anger issues to work out. Or maybe I should just start taking Paxil. Hmmm, at least I have options. I wish my option was to move back to San Diego where it is sunny and I have friends.

Speaking of San Diego, for the past week I have been fixated on the news surrounding the fires. So far everyone I know has been affected in some way, but I think things are getting back to normal and all of their houses were safe. I just want everyone there to know that I have been worried and thinking about them. Here are some crazy pictures that my old roomie lil' naf sent to me. It really is horrible and beautiful. When tragedy like this strikes it really makes you appreciate your life and to not get too hung up on the negative. Life is too short and too fragile not to make the most of it.




I hope everyone is doing good. Thanks to everyone who has been calling or writing us. It really makes my day when I get a message or email from people we know. Until next time...You know we will be trying to stay warm and dodging cars!!!
