not a lot, baby girl, just a li'l bit...

the time has come, the walrus said,
to talk of many things.
Even though my stomach is about to cave in and the sweet and sour chicken (disgusting, but somehow irresistable) is calling to me from the minifridge.
The first item of business: Hallowe'en. That word was on one of our 5th grade spelling list and apparently everyone in the US except for Mrs. Rhodes' class spells it wrong.
Anna, Joanie, Julia, Rachel, Anna's man, and I are being the seven deadly sins. Minus gluttony. Cheesy? Yes, probably. Hott? Definitely. I am greed--which means a short gold dress (with leggings!!!) and way too much bling. For some reason zebra striped pumps seemed to go well with the ensemble. Julia is envy, which is the same, only sans zebra stripes and with a green dress instead.... and the list goes on. Pride is actually gay pride... because, you know...
My room mate says she doesn't know what she's dressing up as, but she will probably end up as judy garland, because, you know.... I didn't tell her that I actually didn't know. Maybe because she has red hair. Did Judy Garland have red hair?
Now I need to know what all of you are dressing up as. Do they have Hallowe'en in Brazil? Germany? BYU? I wouldn't know.
Also, the reason I haven't been posting: I've caught my death of cold (is that a real expression? did I muck it up? it can't possibly be correct....) which means that I've spent every spare moments, and some non-spare moments, in bed. Not to worry, though. I still did well on my CompSci midterm (I think. Maybe I shouldn't be cocky.) and managed to do my babysitting job--although their could have been mishaps I overlooked while I was blowing my nose and drinking orange juice.
Oh, and one more thing. It's cold!!! I finally get to wear my new puffy marshmallow coat (which goes all the way down to my knees, and is quite fashionable, actually), and scarves, and hoodies, and hats. And also, my obsession with steamed milk is in season now! (it is the only thing I drink anymore. no water for me, thanks. i'll take a large(venti?) steamed whole milk--hazelnut. as much foam as you can muster.)
I'm looking forward so much to seeing all of you at christmastime!
