Dang it!

I just realized I never posted any costume photos from Halloween- just as well as I didn't end up taking that many. I dressed up as Janis Joplin and according to the trick or treaters, I looked like a gypsy.
Which was just fine by me!

Well well well- look who's all bare bellied.

 I look pretty crazy here. It was a wild night...

 CJ in her lumberjack finest.

And oh how I wish my hair was this curly everyday.

Summer Activities

Busy busy these past weeks- work aside, I've hardly been home for days. This last week saw some rock-climbing, a birthday picnic and some Halloween costume shopping. This week sees me tired and broke from all the recent fun times. But I've got some fun costume bits posted out to me so there will be a Halloween edition of ReVamp coming up shortly...

 The picnic was all ice cream truck snacks and bocci and barely cooked tri-tip and cute hipster boys.

 I wore my milkmaid dress simply because it is one of only a few outfits I have that can work in the heat. It's sleeveless and thin cotton and isn't super tight all of which help when it's toasty out.

My standard outfit lately- shorts and tanks. Stylish...

The roommate and I went rock climbing for the first time yesterday. It was my idea and I somehow forgot that I'm afraid of heights. Well, I remembered once I got about halfway up the wall and froze like a popscicle. After that, I stuck to the little 8 foot bouldering walls. CJ did brilliantly- she turned into a little spider monkey. Crippling fear and ruined nails aside, I have a blast and will be trying my hand at the big wall again soon.

This Summer and Then Some...

A Different Kind of Outfit Post

Last night- 
we decided to head to El Dorado for some 60's music and pool. Friends came over, admired our shiny wood floors and drank a lot of peach champagne first. It was a great time- we have fantastic friends. The only downside was we didn't decide to take an photos until we got back home and changed into pajamas. So here are some odd roommate photos featuring booty shorts and full-doll hair and make-up.

House Warmings and Birth Days

Collective from the past two days- The Cass house warming party and CJ's birthday celebration. 

The hour drive up to their new place was worth it to see how well they've done up their space. KC had a really adorable kitchen- totally her style.

The cute couple. And Tom Waits.

 Also, The Ex brought his new puppy along who was the biggest draw at the party.

`

 Onto the pizza/beer/birthday fest. We all braved the rain and headed to Blah (obviously) and proceeded to buy every type of beer on the menu and most of the pizzas. 

 I'm guessing the french fry was super hot.

 Not totally sure what this was all about...

 

 It was actually really beautiful out with the rain and the street lights. Unless you wanted to smoke- then it was inconvenient.

 Or if you had curled your hair that night. Mine fell pretty hard. Unlike The New Boy, who always has very nice hair.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to leave all these amazing people in a few months...

Hollow Even

Last night, we celebrated Halloween in the tradition ways- beer, fake blood, friends and bad dance contests. I went as Edgar Allen Poe's The Red Death. Unfortunately, no one got it. I really gotta stop doing cerebral costumes.

  Blaine was Ash from The Evil Dead movies. Note the actual chainsaw attached to his hand there. CJ replayed her cowboy outfit from last year after some mishaps with her original costume.

Fun party with some great people but the fun didn't continue. I woke up this morning surprisingly unhungover and proceeded to drop a ladder on my foot. Yup, ladder. On my foot. So now, I'm stuck on the couch with a seriously swollen, bruised foot. Happy Halloween indeed.

And the WrapUp!

 The last day-which we spent at the buffet, in the hotel room and by the pool (well, I did) We didn't even go out that night, just ordered pizza and watched endless episodes of American Restoration on TV.

 I do love this filter on my camera phone. I wish I could have it on my actual camera.

 View from the pool- I could have stayed there all day.

 And so ends our Vegas trip and signals the return to normalcy. We stopped in Baker to refuel the car and ourselves. And again, I spied the huge demon devil crow but he flew off before I could get a photo. 

So Eka drew me a picture of him.
