my *jellyfish*pants* were OUT OF CONTROL!

exhibit A:

[of course this would be what the boyfriend

snapped while in possession of the camera]

the pants are cute, though, huh?

Hee hee!

TOTALLY *jellyfish*pants*,

purchased here.

I couldn't possibly have gone with anything else on my chubby hams!

so confession:

the boyf and I had no

idea where we were going for Halloween Eve!

No clue!

Nada!

Thank goodness it worked out.

We ended up heading to the city and Tomas's buddy's friend [yeah, uh...what??] got us in for a reasonable $30 a pop.

UNDAH DAH SEA

i was shown this past week:
"...triple rainbow??"

Damian was doing twirls with my *jelly*head*
i don't know why.

met some cool cats:
Capt. America.

this guy was a shower:
[...and i thought my costume was cumbersome]

it ended up being a good time,
and everyone appreciated my costume.
gave me some props.

my girlfriend and her husband didn't end up coming out...BOO!
...and...
there was no costume contest...BOO!
...but
i'm
over all that.

is my HUMONGO booty in those *jellyfish*pants*

holy Be-JESUS!

Bwaaahaaahaa!

[i might just have to find somewhere else to wear them, though, because they are **fun**. out of control, but fun.]

happy HUMPwednesdayHUMP day &
almost HALLOWeeN day, killahs!

the one thing to paint is the one thing on your mind

yesterday night

sister & i painted pumpkins.

*

there was only one thing i wanted to paint:

me & all *three* of *my*babies*

*

i'm really so proud of it.

*

*

you have Alejandro,

my little *mama's boy*::

***

crazy Carmen,

and her *infamous*goofball*face*::

***

...and finally,

by beloved *neena*girl*, my Dinah,

who i lost last weekend::

[i think i might want to paint a halo over her head.

what do you think??]

*

sorry that i've been m.i.a. from my blog,

but yesterday was the first day since saturday,

when we lost her,

that i didn't cry.

*

i've been taking it really slow, and really hard.

*

thank you for your patience with me, common passer-byers of my blog.

*

check out the *before* sketch::

i got the idea from this image that i googled.

***

[the faces, however, were all customized by me]
***

***

***

***

more

that

made up

my

yesterday

was:

a snoozing-snoozing Carmen,

that i took a cue from

in the form of two naps over an hour long.

[my cold's been demanding this of me]

{{cough,cough, sniff}}
***

***

oh, and because we both had off,

and

i was not feeling to hot,

the boyf made me soup [we call it 'zoop']

plenty of veggies,
the boyf loves a good zoop

don't forget the nooooooooodles

***

zoop&tea // tea&zoop

these have been my drugs of choice during my time of achy body-achy spirit.

***

thanks for reading.

Friday.

...so it's October. You know what that means...

...time to think about what you're going to be for

HALLOWeeN!!

***

do you guys already know??!!

***

well, i already know.

in the airport

coming back from

*south*fla*

i picked up

Martha Stewart's

Halloween Special Magazine

and found this picture in it:

"That's it!" I thought.

"I'll be a jellyfish!"

***

[i usually only settle for my-own-idea type costumes.

i take Halloween very seriously,

& try to be something *new* or not very 'done',

but i saw this and thought this

would be the cutest & so much fun!

so I'm doing it!

i just didn't realize so many have already done it

haa haa! whoops!

oh well!]

***

of course, I'll jazz it up, my style.

you know...all sassy white,

maybe with a midriff showing,

and a headband.

***

the challenge is going to be

what to make Tomas!

do

we have to

be

all matchy-matchy??

No!

but...

...maybe he could be scuba-diver or a surfer dude?

:)

...and I'm the jellyfish that stings him!

***

that might work!

***

**

*

Halloween

is my favorite

holiday!

lemme know what you think.
