Halloween

I kind of love it. My mom always got really into it, so I guess it rubbed off on me.. I can't wait to have a house to decorate for the trick-or-treaters. I'm going to put a graveyard in the front yard and have someone sit on my porch to scare them (so what if I'm just stealing last week's episode of Modern Family? It's what I want).

Danny and I were a washer and dryer this year for the Gamma pumpkin carving party... and won best costumes! Who would've thought a box and some socks would turn out so cool?

It was a ton of fun. (And I was so proud of Danny for making his own)

I have been SWAMPED these past few weeks. I don't know if I'm just trying harder this semester or what, but I've had to pull way too many all nighters lately. (Partly because I had to spend most of my time painting this bad boy).

Plus side to staying up all night: it makes for a MUCH more entertaining day of school the next day.

Falling like the leaves.

Fall break is here, and I am welcoming it with open arms.

I've been on break for approximately 12 hours, and so far I've: taken a 5 hour nap, baked cupcakes, watch the Babies documentary, caught up on Glee, and started on my next illustration project.. If I keep going at this rate, I'll get so much done this week!

Last weekend we took a quick road trip to Austin with some friends.

It's such a cool city.. full of "trailer parks" like the one above, awesome galleries, live music, and bright colors.

Let me take a minute to tell you about the mighty cone. This is a taco with fried chicken, fried avocado, and slaw.. all wrapped in a tortilla and stuffed in a cone. Who thought of that? It's a genius idea that ensures I'm going to pick the mighty cone over some average joe taco stand.

Also, I've been really into making pumpkin spice lattes lately.. now if only we could get some consistently cooler weather I'd be happy.
