Countdown to Halloween

Went shopping today for some Halloween candy for next Sunday. Have my witch's outfit and i am so ready. Just had pizza for dinner and just setting to put up some pictures from thursday night's Rock Horror Show.

It was alright, considering that I've never seen this movie/musical before. It was an interactive event w/them selling prop bags to be used at certain events during the play. I wasn't too familiar with the songs/story but it was a nice night out.

Wednesday night we went to see the season finale of Dr Who. It was pretty good, i was afraid that it was gonna be a cliffhanger but it wasn't. I guess that's British tv for you. Had it been an American show, they would have left you hanging until next season. I do love my Dr Who.

Back to work

Went back to work today after a well deserved four day weekend. Had Friday and Monday off, not because we had a columbus day holiday at work (god forbid)! but because i requested the days off. I needed some rest because my arms have been bothering me lately, i guess it's just muscle fatigue.

This past weekend we went to the opening ceremonies of the Culinary Institute of America-San Antonio. It was packed, man, loads of people. Probably because of the free food samples that were being given out. Got to see Rick Bayless

He was doing some cooking demostrations and then a book signing. I would have bought it just to get it autographed, but i figured it'd be expensive considering that i probably would have no use for it since i'm a vegetarian and most of his recipes contain meat. But i'm still a big fan and i just had to snap a quick picture. People were complaining, though that he had the event organizers shut down the live band because they were being too loud. Oh well, i guess they didn't take that into consideration when they were planning the thing.

Here is a picture of them actually playing. Don't know what the name of the band is but they were playing latin music, salsa and stuff.

Actually put out some Halloween decorations. This is all new to me because in my family Halloween was just not celebrated because it was evil. PPFFTTT!! Life is too short to be so uptight. I just wish i'd have a costume party to go to, i'd love to dress up.

Friday was Marla's last day at work and they got together at Mama Margie's to say good bye. It was my day off but i joined them anyways.

Happy October

Yes! Finally, a change in the weather, it's been soo nice these past couple of weeks, you can actually enjoy the outdoors w/out sweating up a storm.

Took the dogs to the vet this morning for their check up and vaccines. Everything went okay, and best of all, we didn't have to pay a thing since they have a wellness plan. I did have to leave Maggie for observation for the day because she had the Bordetella vaccines, which she's had a reaction to in the past, so they usually keep her, keep an eye on her, and give her some medication to prevent swelling like she had the first time. We'lll go pick her up later when they call us.

Last time i was supposed to post a couple of pictures more, but for some reason it wouldn't let me so here they are:

That's me feeding the ducks, damn things know what to expect so they get ahead of you. Well, at least i didn't have to open the door for them, as you can see, this little guy did me the favor.

Enjoying the great outdoors.

That's us! Smile for the camera.

Tomorrow Cleto's gonna be filming for his new comedy DVD at a local church here and we might go. Free admission! My favorite. Just kidding, this one is at 6pm instead of 10 so it might be fun, he wants to pack the house. It should be fun.
