Book Club demanded that we be something scary for Halloween something I've never done before so I went for a witch. TJ chose to be a scarecrow to kind of match. At work one of my coworker's daughter asked me if I was the witch from Sleeping Beauty and I said "yes the one with the apple" she looked at me confused and I realized later on because that was the witch in Snow White whoops anyways, we stopped by with the nieces and nephews for a family hot dog BBQ at Jeff's and then headed to a party at one of my friends Rachel's. Rachel and I picked out the same wedding ring, except they added more diamonds to theirs. We have the same dress only mine in Ivory and her's and white and recently we learned we have the same camera. All of these things were chosen before we became friends. Somehow I neglected to get a picture of us. One of the highlights was TJ playing Rock Band for the first time. He aced everything the first try. One of his natural talents who knew? Up top is Vanessa and I we were roommates when I first moved out here everyone thinks we are sisters even when I went to look at the house the other two roommates said I reminded them of her. So there we are the Spaniard and the Greek somehow that European blood crossed into something similar.

TJ's brother Brian and his wife Julie had a Clue Murder Mystery night at their home it was such a blast! TJ and I went as the White's the picture is compliments of my lovely sister-in-law, Caitlin. The killer turned out to be the very pregnant Miss Laura Scarlet, who knew.

Where to start, so I've had my TJ back for a week today it's been wonderful!!! Halloween week was a blast as well. All the parties and caramel corn were fabulous, the week kicked off with our book club Frankenstein Halloween party. I did not really enjoy reading Frankenstein but the ladies in my book group helped me see a lot of good in it and learn lessons like take responsibility for your mistakes early on as well as there is good and evil to everyone and the older we get the more mistakes we have made but we have to learn to overcome mistakes with beauty or something like that. The main thing that caused me to not like the book (stop reading now if you plan on reading the book) was when Frankenstein's life long love Elizabeth gets killed on their wedding night. Who leaves their bride alone on their wedding night!!!??? Anyway there was a lot of flowery language as well that I found my self dazing out during. But the book is quite an accomplishment by the 19 year old Mary Shelly and she came from an absolutely amazing background, her mother and father were both writers, her mother was one of the original feminists and her father a politician as well as she hung out with other authors such as Lord Byron. I love my book club group they are some of my favorite ladies great examples of down-to-earth but very enlightened and intelligent women who are all around amazing women who have impacted my life in different ways.
