Showcase Showdown

Even though I had a minimal amount of sleep and a couple too many glasses of wine at a birthday dinner the night before, I was ready to hit the streets for Race for Cure Saturday morning.



Brother, Emily, and I raced for the cure.  Then there was brunching, and farmer's marketing, and more golden retriever looking.  Then I hit up AC Moore and got my craft on.  Hubs and I attended a Halloween party which was celebrity themed.  We used a little creative leeway and went as  . . .


 Drew Carey and a Price is Right Contestant!  I also wore a sweatshirt which had my Price is Right name tag on it.  I was especially proud of Hubs' skinny mike which I constructed.

 There were nerds.
 And hated former coaches. Oh, and Fidel Castro in the background.

The night ended with a little leaf jumping.  I was far more prepared in my costume than I had been last week in my game day plaid skirt.  It was a supremely satisfying experience.


Although getting up and out of the pile of leaves was far more difficult than I remember from twenty years ago.

How was your Halloween?  The actual day was a bit of a failure for me (it involves tears), but more on that tomorrow.

  3. Ever thought of getting a flattering hair cut? One that isn't so Gizmo esque and professional hair color?

  6. Anonymous....what does your hair look like? Dying to see someone's hair that is so harsh about others, but too scared to identify themselves.

    Samma Faye - I am very impressed with the costumes and you look adorable!!

  12. Okay, did I miss your Official Price is Right story? Were you chosen? That is a personal dream of mine, for serious! And I'm jealous of your leaves... but maybe not of the raking they require!
