Getting Festive - Halloween Style

Last weekend, in the rain, Gavin and I decided continue our tradition (this only marked Year 2) of going deep into eastern CT, to see a house with a mass of carved pumpkins a lit up outside. There was at least 100 if not more and I'm sure people will continue to drop them off as the week progresses. It looks so great all lit up and there were quite a few of us braving the inclement weather to get a close look at all of the carvings. Below are a few of my favorites.

Horoscope today . . .

Now, I am not one who really believes in horoscopes. However, I will admit, I am quite the virgo (except I do let my condo get a bit messy at times but otherwise, I am type-a at it's best, etc). I was a little alarmed this afternoon when I quickly read my horoscope for today (source: astrocenter.com):


"You're not exactly someone who follows all the latest fads, NICOLE, but you may realize that recently you let yourself get taken for a ride. In fact, even though you're not necessarily an impulsive person, that doesn't stop you from buying things on the spur of the moment that just sit there in your closet or somewhere else in your house. What do you do with all those clothes anyway? Be more careful with your money!"


It's a little scary when it is sooo right. I have a closet full of things that I have purchased on a whim and have never used/worn/hung up in my condo. V. dangerous.

Maybe tomorrow it will say "you will win powerball" and it will also be right!
