Its Halloween, why not...

Aside from carving a couple pumpkins, I'm not doing anything for Halloween. I sometimes get the urge to dress up and go out, but then realize I really don't have a good reason to. I'm creative with costumes but not with one's that would actually look good on me, or be appropriate to wear. Jenny had a great costume idea, for all those people needing something easy and quick, here is a list of a few items you'll need to complete the look.

- Grey, zip-up hooded seatshirt

- White shorts

-White Socks

- White tennis shoes

- An umbrella (pointed end)

AND.... a bald head kit from any respectable Halloween store.

Put it all together, and you've got one scary bitch. I give you... bald CRAZY Britney.

Thats some scary shit.

Eh, other stuff... Wedding plans are picking up speed. We ordered and recieved our wedding invitations. They are cute, and casual and I like them. I am working on our geocities http://geocities.com/shannonandjennyswedding/ its not a work of web-art but it'll do. I bought 29 small vases last night, as well as a half dozen decorative wine bottles, and some candle stands for $10 off craigslist. A really good deal. I'll probably use 3 or 4 LARGE vases too, but these little ones are great for around the penthouse, and small center pieces on our tables. Today I'm trying to find pictures of flowers I like, and I'm going to mimic those.

Auto Show Friday, Cash & Carry & Costco this weekend. I'm so excited to get a Costco memebership. Now I can buy all the 10lb blocks of cheese I want!!!

Hope everyone is having an OUTRAGEOUS Halloween!!! (Hahha... that's for Jeanna & Carollani... )

Bus Blues

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays? Especially when my bus is 20 minutes late and the whole point of getting up and going to the gym early is lost because some bus driver couldn't get his shit together and be on time. We have the absolute WORST transit system, and it pisses me off.

When we went to NY and Boston, we had no trouble getting around. It was so easy, Jenny was able to ditch me on a train and I found my way back to our hotel with no problem, and in a timely, dare I say swift, manner. But here, in Seattle, life taking the bus sucks. You stand around hoping today is the day your bus shows up on time. Once you get on the bus, you're praying the bus driver isn't one of those guys who waits 30 seconds at every stop to see if some I-slept-in-late-but-still-had-time-to-get-my-latte mother-effer comes barreling around the corner. And then of course as you are finally comfortable enough to stop watching every person get on the bus, some smelly, old, fat, loud, obnoxious, drunk, cell phone talker (choose one or all as applicable) gets on and decides YOU - lucky you- are the one s/he wants to sit next to today. Oh kill me.

The only reason I do this, is because I love Jenny. Thats really all it boils down to. She deserves some time to herself in the morning without having to tote me off to work every morning. Sure, I go work out. And I'm sure that is beneficial in some way, that I may see results from eventually. But overall, I do it for her. So she can relax a little. Meanwhile, I'm subjected to inhaling other people's filth, perfume, cigarette smoke, breakfast sandwhich, BO, and in one particular man's case on my bus this morning... urine. Man, am I getting my $1.50 worth of life.

So, as a final note... if you see a gym clothes clad young lady riding the number 5 around 6:30am, with a scowl on her face, leave her alone. Don't sit next to her, let her have some space.

Please. Give me a break.
