Scary Weekend! (And I Loved It)

Work is really hectic today since it's the 29th and no one is quite sure when they will be getting paid.  WTF, really?  If you get paid on the first, the shit will post on Wednesday the 31st!  Please don't call on Friday, Monday and Tuesday to ask me how much your check is!  HOLY FUCK!  This happens every month that is short or long.  I know now that people have no idea how completely ignorant they really are or sound.  SO, I'm trying to make the most of this shitty day.  I'm listening to the Maroon 5 station on Pandora and trying to write my weekend blog post.  Hopefully I can finish it today.

Or kill them all since no matter what, I have to answer the phone when it rings.  I'm on ring # 68 so far and it's only 11:00AM.  FML.

I found time at work on Friday to paint my nails:

Our new color, Cherri Berry.

Friday night I watched a bunch of TV.  I watched a couple of episodes of Survivor I was behind on and a few Dr. Phil's.  I was in total relaxation mode and only got up to pee or get more ice water.  Good times! 

Saturday morning Dazzle, Neon and I ventured out to run our errands.  Dazzle and I got our hair cut while Neon hung out waiting for us to finish.  Then we went to Sally's (you know I needed more nail polish Like I need a hole in my head), Pet's Inc (we needed dog food but we also ended up playing with the babies), and Walmart. 


He was being held by Dazzle.  Puppies are like crack to her!  LOL

 Neon is obsessed with German Shepard's.  That is his favorite dog breed.  He reminds me often that when he grows up, he is going to have 5 of them.  So when we saw this sweet lady, he went crazy.


That's Neon kneeling there INSIDE the cage with Angel.  The sign on the cage said she loves belly rubs so Neon climbed on in to check and see if the sign was correct.  LOL 

I told Neon that if we didn't have 2 dogs to take care of already, we would have taken her home in a second.  She was so sweet.   I assured him that she wouldn't be sitting there long.   

I received a coupon in the mail for 50% off of one decoration or prop at Halloween Express so I figured we better go use it!  I personally can never have enough Halloween decorations!

I told the kids that we needed to name our new friend so they decided to combine their two suggestions which came out to be "Billy Bob Joe Jr."  LOL, whatever makes them happy.  

After we finished our errands we decided be naughty and eat Taco Bell for lunch.  We have been on a Subway kick for a long time and needed to change it up a bit.  Since we hadn't been there in so long, it was really tasty!

It's Odie's cousin/uncle/aunt!!  Odie is WAY cuter than this guy. 

We went home afterwards and I finished cutting the grass.  I cut the back yard Friday after work and then I attempted to cut the front yard but it got dark on me so I had to finish on Saturday.  After I washed all the dirt off of myself, Dazzle and I painted our fingernails.  

I'm still loving the dots but wish I could find something else quick so I don't get bored.

Supa came home early because the store was dead due to the football game.  We hung out and talked for a while.  We were all glad he was home early since that doesn't happen very often.  Dazzle and I ran to Jade's house to pick up Cat Mama who was having a sleep over with the kids.  I think they were planning to watch some zombie movie to get in the Halloween spirit.  LOL. 

Supa made homemade broccoli and cheese soup with garlic bread for dinner (yum, my favorite!) while I took a shower and got ready to go on our date. 

When we were ready and the mess from dinner was cleaned up, we left and headed over to the Deceased Farm. 

There were two sections of the farm that could be done and of course, we had to do both.  The first part was called The Main Haunt.  I wasn't allowed to take any photos of it but it started in one building that eventually lead you out to the corn field (marked trails of scary shit and live people) and then back into a second building then back into the corn field.  Great day, it was really scary as shit.  There were TONS of live people that jumped out, crawled along, brushed by you and just stood there looking creepy as hell.  All the props and scenes were very realistic looking and just basically put together really well.  I screamed quite a few times and got pretty damn freaked out.  Supa laughed the entire time.  I made him lead the way and held onto him as much as I could.  I think this was one of the best haunted houses I had ever been to. 

The second part was called the Deceased Farm in 3D.  We weren't sure what to expect from that.  We talked to the ghoul at the door and he explained that the inside of the building was airbrushed by a local artist with 3D paint all in freehand.  He handed us our 3D glasses and slammed the door behind us.

This was the outside of the entrance.  COOL!

The inside was covered in bright 3D paintings (black lights everywhere of course) of gross ghouls and scenes.  We got through the first half just in awe of how cool it was when we were then greeted by a live person who scared us well, not Supa, just me the rest of the way through, kind of guiding us at the same time.  It was cool as hell.  I don't know why anyone wouldn't do both parts.  It was totally different, yet, equally as awesome as the other part.

The half of our tickets that they let us keep. 




On closer inspection, the corn has skulls in it!  COOL!

Once again, another excellent idea for date night with the hubs.  It was $40 for both of us, for both parts.  It was worth every penny.  This is the same farm where we went to the corn maze and I would recommend going there for Halloween fun.  If you live in the south, google it.  Clinton Sease Farm.  I'm going to send them a bill for advertisement on my blog, lol.

When we were finished, we went and picked up Jade at her house (so she could get drunk and Supa could drive her home).  We ran to Bilo for supplies and then Supa took us to Sonic to get ice cream.  (Oh, how I love having a two part date with my bestie included in the second half!)

After we had our soft serve, we went back to the house and sent the kids to Dazzle's room to resume their sleep over.  (They ended up watching Zombieland). 

Jade and I played Rummy in the kitchen while Supa watched the football game he recorded in the next room.

R.J.A.T.W left this at our house a couple of weekends ago so figured that was a clear sign that I was welcome to drink the rest of it. 

For anyone who doesn't know, this is Ciroc vodka  This is P. Diddy's vodka and it's expensive as hell.  I guess it should be, it tasted like liquid candy.  That shit could get you into trouble quick!  LOL! Jade and I enjoyed the 4 shots that were left.  Thank you, R.J.A.T.W! 

I set our drinking area up right!  :)

We had fun, playing cards, getting a little drunk and talking our heads off until around 2 AM (the kids had long since passed out on their pallet).  Supa drove Jade home and I went straight to bed.  Mama was tired. 

Sunday Supa was off!  Hooray!!

We slept in like the dead.  Dazzle came and woke us up around 10AM when they woke up!  WOW!  We were out! 

After eating breakfast,  we got all the kids and ourselves ready and went for an hour+ walk around the neighborhood.  We even took Copper and he had a great time.  The weather was beautiful and sunny.  Everyone got their exercise in for the day.  Sweet!  When we got back home, we ate lunch and cleaned up a little bit.  We had some laundry to do. 

While Supa and Neon played video games together, the girls sat at the table, painting fingernails and looking at photo albums.  I was in the kitchen with them baking and getting food ready for Monday night's dinner. 

Chocolate chip cheesecake bites.  They turned out so yummy!!  Thank you, Pinterest.



I made meatloaf for Monday night's dinner so that I could just throw it in the oven.  It's going to be good!

When I was finished in the kitchen and everything was clean again, we all laid down in the living room together to watch The Avengers.  I watched some, played on my iPad some and napped some :)  Supa and the 3 kids said the movie was epic.  I'll take their word for it. 
I got up to take a shower and get ready to go to dinner.  We took Cat home and went to the dumpster to look for coupons:


This is just what I kept for myself.  I shared with 6 other ladies! 

Let's just say it was a great coupon haul day.  Thank you for helping me, Supa!

We originally planned to go try a restaurant that we had never been to before:  

An Italian place called Kovachi's that boasted about their wonderful NY style pizza.  

I do believe it was this that originally attracted us. 

We had trouble finding the place (even though it was only 15 minutes from the house and I had a GPS in my purse) and then we realized it closed in less than an hour.  WTF.  I guess we'll try to eat there another day.

We ended up eating a late dinner at Fatz. 


Fatz Cafe

I had been to Fatz many years ago with a co-worker and wasn't impressed but this one by our house was really good!  We totally enjoyed ourselves. 

Supa helped me separate coupons after dinner while watching Grey's Anatomy and then I ran to Jade's to take her some of them.  After a Dr. Phil episode and Oprah's Next Chapter (an Usher rerun I missed somehow) it was off to sleepy time land!

On call #96 now,

Apple

PS, I almost forgot, Dazzle was playing around on one of the apps on her iPad and she made this photo of Copper:

Happy Halloween!!
