Costume Party & Thoughts

Well we had our annual costume party again. Except this year with no one from our family :( That really did leave a big hole in our party, but we will blame my mom and her stubborn self for that. Beyond that, it was the first year we had kiddos attend and included them in the fun. I think they enjoyed it...I really am not an expert, because you see I have no children. This resulted in a lot of fun, but only 1 adult game played and I felt lame because it was uno attack...during this we all learned that apparently competitiveness runs in the family of Anjolee, because Kari has it too!! Haha! She yelled "UNO!!" at Jeremy which resulted in me having to look up the rules for the 30th time while playing...and by the way Kari WAS correct and Jeremy did have to push the button to take the chance of getting numerous cards spit out at him. He was lucky though and still kept his lonely only card. I was SO glad that Kari and Justin & Jeremy and Natalie came...it was their first Costume Party to attend...I hope they weren't disappointed.


One thing I learned was that when you invite kids...the parents leave early and your party ends at about 9:30 instead of midnight or later. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier! DUH! Anyways...Chris and I had good conversations with Kari and Justin after all the peeps left...actually I should say Kari and I had wonderful conversations...which ended in Justin dragging Kari out because apparently Kari and I were talking to much. GO figure!! Haha! He was tired though because he woke up early to help with a garage sale, so I do not fault him for this, I still enjoyed his company :)


Here are some pics from the party:

Look at those best buddies...they even think alike when it comes to dressing up! Crazy men!

After everyone left and I cleaned up the house a bit, Chris and I went to a party hosted by one of his co-workers. This person actually has a dance room with a bar in their house!! Let's just say this party had a much different environment then ours. You could smell the alcohol from the street. Needless to say we didn't stay long.

Time for random thoughts:

I feel like a lion when I wear my hair curly. Simply stated, my hair is so huge, I feel like I have this big poofy mane surrounding my face.

Why is it that immediately after you get married people ask you "So when are you having kids?" Seriously...did you WANT us to be trying before now? That is the only possible way I could answer there question they way they want "Well NOW of course!!" HA! You know, what if we struggled with infertility? What then? I think this is a rude question to ask a person who just recently got married. Granted I have been married for three years now and I am sure people are wondering, but honestly do you REALLY want to know how often Chris and I have sex? I believe this to be none of your business, so there! Sheesh people! This is a decision between Chris and I and NO ONE else!

I ate WAY too many brownies within the last 3 days. Well to be honest too many brownies, peanut butter treat thingys and pumpkin bread. I feel like I have swallowed a pound of flour and it is making my tummy as hard as a rock! I need to puke so I will feel smaller.

I would like to lose about 15 pounds. I know, some of you think this is ridiculous, but I would just feel more comfortable in my body if I did. Obviously this won't be happening anytime soon since I gorged myself on yummy, yet bad-for-me food this weekend.
