Is it really going to stay cold?

Well. Halloween has passed! Initially my friend Kelly and I decided to go trick or treating. We were really excited actually. Then I was asked if I was really going trick or treating so I sat and questioned myself.. hmm, am I? Should I not? :/ I texted Kel to tell her that I didn't think we should actually go to houses and she was shocked and thought "wow Brooke is growing up!". But no, in all reality, if I was handing out candy and a 22 year old came to my door, I would tell them to get a job before I shut my door. SOO we just handed out candy to the cute kiddies and visited friends! Dressed up, of course.

 

                                              Not TOO immature, right?

This pumpkin did NOT look like this earlier, btw.

    It actually worked out better though because now he looks just livid! Has anyone ever smelled a rotten pumpkin? It's probably the worst smell you will ever smell. Is worse than bellybutton.

   

I guess Halloween passing only means one thing. Well.. I lied, a few.

1. It's time to start decorating our block for Christmas. We live on a cul de sac (hahah what a weird word.. just looked it up to spell it. Never knew.) and all of our neighbors are pretty much forced to put candles surrounding their lawn, blow up Santas and snowmen at every other house, and doll displays in their garages. We also have a giant christmas tree in the middle of our... CUL DE SAC (ha)... and cars just circle around it. It's bootyful :) I wish i had a picture, but i don't. So you'll have to come by!

This is Gram. Britt and I decided to match last Christmas ;)

2. It's the month of Thanksgiving (...which is also the month of my sister's birthday.. which in turn means I need to start searching for a clever present..),

3. Last but not least, IT'S GOING TO BE FREEZING. I don't think I can express myself enough of how much I despise being cold. I mean, yeah I understand, "If you have the correct attire, then you should be fine".. I've heard it plenty of times. But, this is another level. I literally want to cry when I'm cold. I absolutely hate feeling like my insides are frozen. Lets take last night for instance. We were at my Dad's playoff football game (which, he won.. 68-14. Baller.) and It was 60 degrees out. I was wearing jeans, a sweater, and a sweatshirt. Seems pretty legit right? NO. I honestly felt my only options were A. die, or B. go to the car during halftime, put the heat on for 10 minutes, and go back to the game. Obviously I did the latter. Anyway, there you have it. I dislike the cold. It can be reaaaal pretty, but nope. Can't do it. Florida will continue to be seeing me in the Future. 

This was Shrek on Ice last year! Jacket weight about 20 lbs.

And this is me being freezing in Mexico 3 years ago.

So it's November 3rd. I'm not even going to say this year has FLOWN by just like everyone else does. It really hasn't. I did have a tough year. Very eventful though. I definitely grew into my own skin and learned a lot about myself and what I want and don't want in significant others, friends, and career life. Last year at this time, I didn't have a CLUE what I was in for. A pure 180, really. I don't think I would ever want to re-live this past year and I'm glad its over.

Enough mushy mushy talk. 

I feel like I should mention the fact that I was supposed to go to my cousins wedding in Virginia last weekend but Sandy changed our flight plans. So thanks Sandy.

Also I feel like I should say that the project at work that we have been working on for 4 months is DONE. We were getting audited by the government to make sure we were in compliance with the guidelines and eligible to get our grant this week and we passed!! PHEW. 

These are my work besties. It was tacky Wednesday :)

This is us being normal unfortunately.

Alright! Enough for the day! I have a race next week in St Pete for Lady Speed Stick. It's a 1/2 marathon. I won last years so hopefully the same goes for next week! EEEEEKK. Oh! Wait let me tell you why I think I should get a better time than last year. I have been doing these GREAT leg workouts on Tuesdays with Jay for about 4 months now. In my next post, i'll lay out the whole workout so y'all can get a tight wittle booty or some sweet leg muscles too :)

G'DAY!
