5th Annual went down without a hitch!

I honestly can't believe I have had 5 Halloween parties since living in this house! Craziness if you ask me. Time flies big time. This year like every other was a ton of fun. Everyone dressed up this year, yes even Melanie!! Melanie is a trooper since she has to work every Sunday morning:)

Although I had reservations about my custom this year, it ended up being OK; despite the extra 30 lbs that I have on my body. But I forgot all about that once people started to show up and the more I drank!

It was great to do shots with Melissa and Mary again (have to love the size shot Mary pours..hehe).

So anyway, it's tradition that I post some pics on here, so here you go!!:)

Haven't written in a couple of weeks

so I thought I would update you on what type of things I have been doing. Well, besides work which is always awesome, I have been completely enjoying this fall weather. I have stalked up on Pumpkin Spice coffee and spent WAY too much money at Yankee Candle last week buy the latest fall scents. I enjoyed the Topsfield Fair *twice* which equaled two caramel apples...haha. I have also started to decorate for the Halloween Party next weekend which is going to be a blast...not so sure about my costume this year, mostly because I have gained quite a bit of weight in the past 2 years, but it will be rad none the less.

This past weekend I hit up Good Ol' Salem with John and Sarah. We just took in the sites and the tourists, stopped for some sushi and we even went into a haunted house. I have not been in a Haunted House since an incident in Salem many moons ago...let's just say I was hugging people I never thought I would and we ended up busting through the door and ending up in a pig pile in front of my friend's Mom..hehe..good times. But this one was actually cool...and the host was an actor dressed up like the joker from the New Batman. Seriously thought he could have been Heath Ledger's twin.

Anywho, I should have many very interesting photos from the party next weekend. You never know what is going to happen at the annual Halloween Party!

Love Fall Weekends

Fall is by far my favorite season. This past weekend I definitely took advantage of the fallness that is around. I went to the Topsfield Fair, which has been an annual tradition since I don't know when. It was a blast. We ate lots of fair food, saw lots of fair animals, lost lots of money playing fair games and even went on a fair ride or two!! Sorry though no Smallest Woman in the World. Not sure what's up with that, haven't seen her in a few years.

Then on Saturday, John and I went to Russel Orchards, which has become an annual event for us, at least for the past 3 years. He took me there on our second date, because there is a HUGE pig there named Big Boy. He knew I liked pigs, so he thought this would be a good date. He was right! They have cider, animals, hay rides, apple picking, cider donuts, home made wine...I could go on forever, it's a ton of fun!

Then of course I purchased some Halloween M & Ms this weekend, bad idea!!! I am on my second week back on WW and umm ya, the candy has made it very hard to stay in my points...lol..I am currently eating some now...shhhh..don't tell!!

Other fall events, my Dad's bday just past and today is my parent's anniversary. So next weekend the family is heading down to Foxwoods to celebrate. Hopefully I will win big!:)
