Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice.....

The weekend was good, but busy. I went home for my Mom's birthday on Friday. We went to the football game at the high school where she teaches. This is also the high school I attended. We brought our chihuahua (my "sister") along with us and everyone thought she was adorable. We sat with some teachers I knew and had a good time (or as good a time as you can have at a high school football game). Some students got into a big brawl and the police came so that was a lot of drama to watch. It was really ghetto so we left shortly after that.


Saturday Mom and I went to the sale that is going on at Express and a few other stores in the mall. I got some new things; two new purses, a black pencil skirt, black capri pants, a going out top, a sweater and a purple satin shirt. Now I will have more stuff to where on the days I do dress up for work and to wear on the job interviews I will hopefully be going on soon.


Last night I spent the night with AM. We didn't do too much (I had a test this morinig to study for). We ate popcorn and watched The Girls Next Door and had lots and lots of girl talk.


Today after class and work AM and I went to the Columbiana Mall. She needed to black dress and found an adorable one that looked great on her. I got a Spiced Pumpkin candle from Yankee Candle Company, some items from Victoria's Secret, a small surcee to give Shawn in the mountians and foundation from Benefit. I love Benefit and got the Playstick foundation which feels super light but makes your face look very flawless and smooth and velvety. The color I got it in is Tea Party.

That reminds me, I ordered my Halloween costume. I decided on Alice in Wonderland. It is so so cute! This is the actual one I ordered. I am not going to wear the stockings even though they come with the costume because I can't stand them. I will probably wear panty hose and then boy shorts on over them since it is sort of short. I will have to do some try ons and decide if nude or black panty hose looks better. I'll also get a black headband. I think it is adorable. I am going to visit J in Charleston that weekend. We are going to go out in Charleston in our costumes for Halloween. She is going to be a bumble bee.

In addition to everything else I did over the weekend there were issues with Ruby. She got an abcess in her hoof, then apparently the fence shorted out and she got out of the paddock while we were gone to Panera and grocery shopping, then when we came home to discover this she had also banged up her leg pretty bad. The swelling went down the hyrotherapy (the waterhose) and ice. It was stressful but she is ok now. Note to self, I need to find the time to work with her on her ground manners. She's a sweet filly and adores attention and being groomed, but is less than cooperative for anything new or that she might not be sure she wants to do. Horses are pretty huge so it's imperative that they have good ground manners, otherwise they can really drag you around.

Tonight I'm headed over to E's to watch the Bachelor. Some of those girls have had no raising...tacky! It is so addictive.

I have more laundry than is fathomable to do right now before I can pack for my trip over fall break. I need to pack tomorrow night since I am leaving right after classes on Wednesday.
