Halloween Excitement!

I absolutely LOVE this time of year!

What are you all doing for halloween? Are you dressing up? If you are past the age of drunken costume parties, what are your plans? Please share! :) I love hearing about creative desserts and activities for the season.

C and I have discussed our plans for Halloween night and we decided that we would be most happy staying home and watching a scary movie together. Oh my goodness, are we getting old? Yes. We're both so burnt out that lately it's the small things like quiet, non-work-consumed evenings that we seem to enjoy the most.

We are, however, attending a law school event at one of the local bars on the Thursday before Halloween. I refuse to buy an overpriced, skanky costume from one of those costume stores or websites. That was me in the past, but this year I'm being frugal and conservative! Ha! Imagine that. I was thinking of going with an old stand by, either a "walk of shame" or Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Two of the easiest and most recognized costumes ever.

What do you think? Do you have any other fun (and cheap) costume ideas? I really enjoy any type of social commentary/pop culture costume. I hear Kate Gosselin is going to be a popular costume this year. Poor woman. Imagine people dressing up like you for Halloween? Just terrifying.

Umm....

Classy, Ms. McCain.

It's Time for Rally Caps

We need a serious win today at Fenway. Obviously I am not even remotely a sports blogger so I won't pretend I am, but I'd reaaallyyy like to see the boys pull it off today. You will certainly find me in front of the TV biting my nails all afternoon.

Fingers crossed, Rally caps on!

Also, please keep C in your thoughts as he prepares for his first midterm of law school tomorrow. I don't have any midterms, which could end up either working in my favor or working against me. All of my classes are based solely on my final exam grade, which freaks me out a little bit. I've been known to panic and end up somewhere in the high B range. So not okay. Anyway, please wish him good luck on his exam!

Dermatology Adventures

A few weeks ago I was brushing my hair when I felt a deep, sharp pain near my left collar bone. I looked into the mirror and realized my hairbrush had scraped against a mole on my collar bone. Yikes! I've had the mole forever but never thought anything of it until now, really. After inspecting it further I noticed a strange border forming around the rim of the mole. It was an oddly shaped discoloration that I had never noticed before. After WedMDing all the symptoms and signs of melanoma and cancerous moles, I found a dermatologist near my apartment and made an appointment.

Well I just got back from the visit and I am feeling at least somewhat relieved. The doctor removed the mole (I had to get a shot, ewww!) and they are sending it out for a biopsy. I will know in two weeks whether it is cancerous. I was so thrown off by the whole procedure that I sort of had trouble listening to all the details of what's to come, but I know that I will be getting a phone call from the doctor in two weeks with either good or bad news.

Looking back I seriously am SO stupid for never wearing sunscreen and for going fake tanning. Why risk it? I am so freaked out right now that I am definitely going to become one of those women who wears big floppy hats in the sun and constantly reapplies sunscreen. It's the only way to stay safe! In the meantime, please keep your fingers crossed that I get a phone call with only good news!
