Happy Halloween

Well I couldn't post earlier, because I was too busy watching the Food Network Challenge, but now Iron Chef America is on, and I've already seen it, so here I am.

First, I woke up fine. Actually I woke up about 80 times last night, and each time was fine. We've been sleeping on the couch again, as we seem to do every winter, and I think it's becoming hard for me to sleep. At first I'm super comfortable, but then I wake up in pain, from my leg, and it's really hard to get in a spot that doesn't cause pain. Actually this would probably happen in the bed too come to think of it. I just can't get that leg in a good position without it hurting.

Today wasn't anything special, even though it was Halloween, we did absolutely nothing for it, which I'm somewhat bummed about. It just came up so fast, and the weather has felt more like summer, that I haven't been in the Fall/Halloween mood, I mean I didn't even decorate! I feel like such a loser. Which is a whole nother issue, but we won't get into that.

What we did end up doing, was go over the hill to score some more firewood, which turned out to be a waste of time, which as we found out when we got home, the wood is still too wet to burn, and Matt couldn't chop a lot of it, so he was pretty bummed about that.

While he was outside struggling with the axe though I took that opportunity to take my daily drive to town. That is all I did really, I didn't stop anywhere, as I'm just trying to get used to driving without freaking out every single time.

My big fear now, is getting pulled over by the fuzz. I think I would seriously panic, because they looooove to keep you sitting there forever, and talk about feeling trapped! You can't just drive away from the police. The whole way to town, I was rehearsing my speech to the cop to please arrest me at home, so I don't panic. Somehow I don't think they will do that...

When I got back I started on dinner, and made a pretty good chicken curry. Which I was super surprised about. And, after dinner I thought we would head straight downstairs so I could work on my mom's painting, but we didn't. In fact we didn't get down there, til about 10, so I only had two hours to work before my show came on at midnight.

I'm done with it for the night, because I'm super frustrated (as usual). It sucks cause I'm working in a hurry to get it done by her birthday on Monday, and I'm having a hard time with color combos and placement. I should have just stuck with my regular collages, but no I had to go and try something new.

So I'm just waiting for a show to come on at 2, and trying not to eat a chocolate chip cookie, not an easy thing to do I assure you.
