The Weekend Recap: Halloween Edition Part 1

Well, my goal of posting 100 words every day for 30 Days went to hell 3 days in, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it; instead, I'm just going to pick up where I left off.

Y'all will just have to bare with me when I skip days, and, more than likely, write totally random with posts until I figure out my niche. Fake until you make it, right?

Ok, so we left off where I was imbibing, and imbibe I did. The Hubs and I went to eat Mexican with friends and their kids Friday night.

After that, we hung out with them at their house, and watched a transformation. The husband in this couple has had a beard for 13 years, and currently had a mohawk. He was going as Hans Solo from Star Wars, so he shaved the beard and mohawk off. I barely recognized him. It was hilarious. Hope he doesn't mind, but the transformation is drastic.

He looks like two totally different people. Now he looks like Billy Bob from Varsity Blues.

Back to the recap, we watched the transformation, and decided to played Heads Up. If you haven't played it before, you must download it. It's hilarious to watch people try and give clues to their friends. Some of the things people say blow my mind. Just download it and see.

After The Hubs cell died, we decided to played Uno. Apparently, I have forgotten how to play this simple game. Or maybe that was all the margaritas and Coors Light. We went to bed not long after that because when you can't play a simple game like Uno, you should go to bed. Immediately.

Fast forward to the next day, we get home and take a quick nap. We let Gatsby out to play while we napped because he needed play time. He never runs away. Well, Saturday, our nephew decides to wander down the road and Gatsby follows him off the farm and down the road about a mile. For about 20 minutes, I was a total wreck. Currently, Gatsby isn't allowed out with out adult supervision. Here is a photo of my ding bat dog:

Could this dog have more "Great Gatsby" attitude? Seriously, perfect name for this Dane.

After recovering from a mild heart attack from losing Gatsby, we went over to my brother-in-law's where I proceeded to watch The Hubs go nuts over Barner football.

I still can't believe I married an Auburn fan. Probably should explain, I have two degrees from The University of Alabama, and I grew up in Tuscaloosa, AL. To say I am an "Alabama fan" is a mild statement. And, I married a Barner. Sigh.

Alabama had a bye week, so I was forced to endure the Barn this weekend without a reprieve of Alabama football to watch. The Hubs is slightly an insane Barner fan. See below for Barn insanity:

We are working on removing the ridiculous amounts of Barner paintings, blankets, and other hideous Barner items in this house. I'd take a photo, but I don't want to blind anyone who may have a Barner sensitivity. I, luckily, have become immune. Or I just prayed to The Bear, and he gave me super strength to endure such sulfuric acid in my eyes.

Let me say this as well, I don't intend on putting up a bunch of Bama items, I would like a neutral household. Preferably, one without massive amounts of sports memorabilia. You know, like, an adult house.

I digress. The Barn and Ole Piss game was a decent one to watch. I'd say more, but I made a deal that as long as I didn't make any smart comments about the Barn, then The Hubs would cheer for Bama over LSU this weekend. Thank God we can agree on hating LSU, and that they smell like Corndogs.

After watching the Barn game, we decided to head home, and we actually pulled over for second so The Hubs, could you know, pee, and then the truck wouldn't start. We had to call his mother, and get her to bring his parents truck to get us rolling again. Seriously, the amount of times we've had to call her is getting ridiculous. I'll have to tell you the story of our first date, and then you'll be rolling, but that's for another day.

We got home finally, and stayed up listening to music on the front porch until it was time to pass out. We didn't get up until around 1 the next day, and that was just to move out of the bed room to the couch.

I will end this here, because Brian & Jeremey's Halloween in the Gayborhood party is an entire post in itself. Here is a teaser:

Let's just say you're not gonna want to miss out on the next post. Until then, Feliz Dia De Muertos and Happy Late Halloween!
