Random Pieces of My Life

A lot has happened over the last few weeks so here are some random, yet interesting, updates about my life.

1. I was pretty sick for a couple days. Don't worry no piggy tail or snout nose for me I'm pretty sure it was just a bad head cold with a lingering stuffy nose. Haha I blend in with all my sniffling students.

2. It doesn't get any better than free candy and dressing up like something completely random. This year I was able to perfect a 20s mob accent and discovered a new and deep desire to dye my hair bright red! As soon as the wig came on I became a totally different person, sneaking around my house and yelling ubsurd things at my ever patient roomies. Haha it was great! Our apartment decided to theme our costumes and chose "Villainous Women."

Awesome Roomie #1 Posion Ivy- interesting observation every boy at the party knew who she was instantly while all the girls guessed Eve, Mother Nature, or Demeter.



Awesome Roomie #2 designed have a theme song that went with her costume. Seriously all night I was singing "Cruella DeVile, Cruella DeVille. If she doesn't scare you then nobody will. Cruella. Cruella. DeVile." Don't worry all you animal rights activists she never found the puppies.



She is at our house enough that she should just move in Roomie #3 could walk like an Egyptian better than I've ever seen. She never did find her Mark Anthony though. Sad.



Here are some more pictures. As you can tell I was having WAY too much fun getting into character.






3. The week before All Hallows Eve I was able to spend the weekend with my amazing siblings in an unseasonably warm Idaho. We ate Chinese food, laughed, watched stupid youtube videos, drifted down the river and danced around a bonfire.
I even graduated to streamer fly fishing where you try and mimic a small fish in order to catch the big bubba fishes. I caught a few smaller fishes and had a couple fishes the size of legends get away. I literally pulled the fly right out of one of their mouths because I wasn't really paying attention. Don't worry I learned my lesson and it has only made me more determined to go again and catch them. I might not be able to catch myself a man but I will catch myself a fish!!







Ok the dark spot in this next picture is actually a female and male moose. They were just chilling on a little island in the middle of the river. "J" had a good laugh as I scrambled to pull my camera out and take a picture while still holding all of my fishing gear. This shot was the best I could do. They were beautiful!




It was so fun! I have the best family in the world! The best part is...I GET TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN THIS WEEKEND!

4. I've dyed my hair jet black and I LOVE IT!! Pictures to follow whenever I take some until then just picture beautiful me with long black hair or think Snow White. :o)
