From Fall To Spooky Season: 09/18/20–10/09/20

A lot has happened in the world and in our personal lives. The first debate occurred, which was an absolute shit show and made me feel totally embarrassed to be an American.

Several people created memes and fly swatters due to the fly landing on VP Mike Pence’s head throughout the VP debate. Oh, and, people apparently, tried to overthrow the government in Michigan and tried to capture Governor Whitmore.

Let’s see, I finally found a wedding dress, which is beautiful and from the shop, Grace Loves Lace. Anyone looking should head to one of their store locations- it’s absolutely to die for. Beautiful and affordable material, easy to get into, and they have so many different designs — such a great shopping/trying on experience, even with Covid.

Not my real dress, just a fun photo. Thanks, Grace Loves Lace

Yes, I had to wear a mask, but I could take it off while in front of the mirror. I drank champagne and just laughed and laughed with my appointment gal, mom, and sister.

We got to celebrate my sister’s baby shower, which was so super cute. I can’t believe she is still pregnant and due in January. Crazy, crazy times, friends.

We had a wonderful weekend, for the first weekend in October too Friday night, we biked around to a few bars with friends and got pretty wasted at this Italian club/dive bar.

Not good food, not sure what I was thinking. But also, I was thinking, how do you fuck up fettuccine? It is literally milk and cheese with some spices. Quite possibly the grossest thing I’ve ever eaten.

Yes, I sound like a huge brat, but trust me, it was like sour tasting. EW. I should have judge by the bar, but at least the bill was incredibly cheap. Go there if you want cheap drinks.

Saturday rolled around, and we got up and ate donuts and coffee on DU’s campus! It was a lovely little morning, which was followed by countertop shopping. Good god, so much to look at and think about. How the hell does someone build a home? There are so many fucking things to pick and choose and talk about.

I’ve always wanted to build, and now knowing myself and going through countertop shopping, I’m not sure I can entirely do it. I mean, let’s be real, I will, but waowww.

The week was followed by a little bit of healthy eating and starting the new cartoon tv series, Camp Cretaceous

If you are a dinosaur fan and cartoon lover, you will love it. It’s pretty cute. I also started watching Schitt’s Creek.

Now that is funny and written so well.

I’m making my way through Grey’s Anatomy and finally came to the flight episode, which is pretty much where I stopped watching the last time. I am feeling the same way as if I want to continue down the Greys road. I do, but I don’t. Anyhoo.

Yesterday, the 7th, I met up with an old friend I hadn’t seen in ten years. Truly bizarre to fucking say out loud, but it was like nothing changed. I mean, of course, they have! No longer in high school or college, I’m engaged, no more side bangs, and so on — good times at the Broodle Poodle. I forgot how much screamo music that place plays.

This weekend, we are going camping for Matt’s birthday! The big 2 9! We have friends in town for the weekend too. They are out here to celebrate, of course but looking to move here as well come springtime. Yay for more friends!
