I’LL NEVER AUDTION FOR WEST SIDE STORY, AND HOW TO SURVIVE A HURRICANE

I’m sad that Halloween is over as it’s one of my favorite holidays! Andy and I had a great time at the parties we went to last Saturday. Despite the fact I’m not a fan of going to bars on Halloween, I had a good time with my friends. 

We got hit with this “Frankenstorm” on Monday. I’m grateful we just got a lot of rain and no damage  I feel for the people that did suffer damage and hope they are okay! I worked from home on Monday and we got a delayed start to Tuesday. We didn’t lose power. We spent most of the time playing scattergories and drinking pumpkin beers with our neighbors. We also thought it was a good idea to go play football in the downpour. I think I was the only one that didn’t get soaked because of my trusty Goretex jacket and high Hunter boots! 

I also found out some tragic news yesterday, I can’t snap my fingers. I was waiting for the microwave to heat up my cheese wheels. A co-worker was pretending to get antsy, and kept snapping his fingers. I gave my feeble attempt at snapping, and was swiftly jeered at. I can (sort-of) snap with my left hand, but I had a band-aid on  from my biometric screening at the health fair. But basically, I can’t snap my fingers people! This means I can never audition for West Side Story. WHAT WILL I DO WITH MY LIFE! I CAN NEVER BE A SHARK OR JET GIRL!

OH LE SNAILS!

I don’t encounter snails very often. It all began one day in late March, I was leaving for work and discovered a snail shell on my front steps of my new apartment. I named him Dr. Sheldon Cooper, I didn’t know if he was alive but he was my friend.

We’ve been having a very rainy spring. So imagine my surprise when a month later I discovered more Sheldons! Snails as far as my eyes could see…except for the one Andy stepped on by mistake. I named most of them Dr. Sheldon Cooper. 

Eventually, I ran out of Dr. Sheldon Cooper’s to name, until I discovered a giant Pierre Escargot! Ole!
