End of October...

My car is in the shop, AGAIN.  It was shaking so bad upon idling that it seemed like it was having a seizure.  It should be done later today. 

Friday night Ryan and I did two things... first, his friend Colin was having his 34th birthday party.  There was a room reserved just for this group at a bar called Mazzy's.  There was a pool table, a couch, several high top tables, 2 TVs, and an outdoor deck.  We were there from about 7:30-10:30.  Then everyone left Mazzy's and went to the costume party at Amy and AT's. 

I ended up ordering the bee costume that I really wanted online and paid for overnight shipping to get it here by Friday.  It came about 5:15 Friday night, and we were leaving at 7:00pm.  Here's that costume:

BUT being that this was the first time I was going to spend any actual time with Ryan's friends, other than Saturday mornings at tennis when I'm barely awake and not showered, I figured I needed to cover up a little bit more.  So I added a bra, and replaced the stockings with black leggings:

As you can imagine, Ryan was constantly getting fondled and groped all night by his friends.  His hat says "I'm nuts about baseball" and the back of his jersey says his name is HUNGLOW.  And of course he plays for the Yank These team.  It was a fun night, and I was the DD.

Some other costumes worth mentioning:

Snooki (in the future, 5/6 months pregnant) and the Situation.

And, Tiger Woods and Elin:

I decided not to renew my monthly lease for the basement apartment, and moved in with Ryan and his cousin Grant.  Today is my first official day here as a tenant =)  Ryan will be gone for 4 days this week in Montgomery, and then next week he will be gone for three days to Orlando.  I think this will be a nice transitional period where I can ease into having room mates again, while still having alone time and down time for myself.  Here goes nothing!

Tuesday

I got the opportunity to tutor Ginnie Lee this morning.  She is back in town for this week only, before her tour starts next week.

After tutoring I stopped at a Halloween store in Roswell to do some preliminary exploring.  Ryan and I are invited to a costume party this coming Friday night.  The party has a pirate theme, so Ryan wanted to be pirates.  I looked at pirate costumes and some other costumes.  I want to be Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth, but can't convince Ryan of that.  I found a bee costume I really liked, and a pirate costume I only kind of liked.  I had them both put on hold until the store closed that night.  Ryan has friends that are going as the Situation and Snooki, and another couple who are going as Tiger Woods and Elin.  Clearly, you do not have to be a pirate to attend the party.  Once Ryan understood that, we went to a costume store and he got something totally different.  Which means I was off the hook of being a pirate, and could go get my bumble bee outfit.  So at 8:00 at night I drive all the way back to Roswell and they didn't have my costume on hold!!!  It was the only one in my size... all the rest were extra smalls so those didn't work. I tried on a few more outfits, but I didn't like any of them either.  So now I'm back to the drawing board!

Today I also received a new tutoring client from a new company..  The company is called Club Z Tutoring and I will be tutoring an 8th grade girl named Lindsey in math. 

It rained all day here in GA, so tennis was canceled for tonight.  BOO.

Jack-o-lanterns

On Friday night Ryan and I carved the pumpkins we got form Dahlonega earlier in the week.

Later that night I also made cupcakes for Ryan's last tennis game of the season
