I always procrastinate dyeing my hair because it takes me like, four hours.

veggies & chicken
Jeff cooked a dinner of coq au vin with roasted veggies and spiced mashed potatoes. We both agreed that while the chicken was delicious, the sauce needed to taste like something other than hot wine.

scotch, scotch, scotch.
Jeff and I had dinner at the Irish Heather after work. We were going to go to the movies, but my enthusiasm for it had waned so instead we went home and played Secret of Mana.

Finally hemmed my goddamn curtains and hung them up. It's amazing the difference it makes. Fuck you, venetian blinds!

tarte d'Alsace deconstruit
French food cookoff! Above is Chris's deconstructed Alsatian tart, but visit the blog as usual to see the rest of the entries and winners. My entry kind of looked like a cock and balls.

This was the only decent-sized acorn squash we got out of the garden, and we didn't even eat it before it went bad!

cheese breakfast
In the morning I ate cheese party leftovers for breakfast. In the evening Jesse had a birthday dinner at Chai Lounge and we sat for over two hours talking and enjoying ourselves, and ate so much delicious Afghan fusion food I thought I might go into a coma.

wine and cheese
We hosted a wine and cheese. There was so much cheese. And quite a bit of wine. And other things as well. Pretty good times.

heart
I hung up the painting Maddie gave me. I need more art in here to make it feel less like a storage area and more like a room.

For Riley's birthday, my mom surprised him with a zombie paintball experience for him and 9 others. I didn't go, but they said it was really authentic and a total blast. Mom & I drank wine and watched The Girl Who Played With Fire instead.

this is Halloween
We covered our front stoop in candles along with the three pumpkins Sarah carved, and played spooky music out the front window. I wore the wedding yeti mask and a little girl legit screamed when she saw me, which made it all worth it.

Sliced my hand open collapsing my umbrella when I arrived at work. Still not too sure how it happened.

beach scene
Jeff and I had brunch at the hotel, and stopped by the campsite to say goodbye on our way home. The rain had stopped and the day was quite lovely; we spent a little while on the beach before hitting the road for good. After getting back to the city I went with Steph to Tamara's, and Val joined us to watch Beetlejuice and drink bourbon and eat chili.
couple more from this day here.
