Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!
 
Did you dress up for Halloween? What are your plans for tonight?
 
We are going to my friends house and hanging out with her family. Our plans are to drink, pass out candy and watch movies.
 
We went to a Halloween party on Friday night. We weren't planning on dressing up but we ended up throwing something together at the last minute. We were the cowboys from Brokeback Mountain. It wasn't really much of a costume really, everything we wore was right out of our closets. We even had accessories. We had the bandannas and Snowflake the horse.
 
We had one of those horse on a stick and B named him Snowflake. He was a big hit.
 
Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures.

Business Trips

I have been stressing over an audit that takes place next week. I will be in El Paso all week for this audit and I am not looking forward to it. Mostly because I really just need to be there a half a day on Tuesday and a half a day on Wednesday. But I am going to suck it up and I am going to go without complaining.
 
Luckily we spoke with the auditor yesterday and she thinks it is going to be relatively painless.
 
Have I talked about El Paso before? I have been going there a lot this year. I think this is my 5th or 6th trip there this year and there is absolutely nothing to do there. There is only so many times a person can go to the mall. We are not allowed to cross the border and go into Mexico by ourselves and since I always travel by myself I never end up going unless one of my co-workers that lives there takes pity on me. I have only been once.
 
This trip, I am going with my two bosses so it should be a lot better. I will actually have someone to eat dinner with.

Birthday!

I had a birthday this month. I turned the big 3-0. I didn't really want to celebrate and I actually don't feel any worse than I did at the young age of 29.
 
It was one of the best birthdays I have had in years though. B got me tickets to go see Ricky Martin in concert and it was amazing. Of course I took plenty of pictures...and a video. Of Ricky. Practically naked. I watch it every night before I go to sleep in the hopes that I will have dreams of Ricky Martin.
 
B also arranged a surprise birthday dinner with a few of my friends. I was completely shocked. We went to one of our favorite new restaurants and when I walked in 5 of my friends were sitting there. The food was delicious and the the company was even more so.
 
After dinner B, my friend Juan and I went to a hookah bar were we continued drinking and smoked hookah.
 
It was a nice quiet birthday, just the way I wanted it to be.
 
 
Oh, one thing about being 30. I have noticed that I cringe when I am doing cardio at the gym and I have to enter myage. I just don't feel 30.

Leak

I have another leak. Yeap. This is the fourth leak in my condo, the first three were caused by my neighbor in the second floor but this one was caused by the neighbor in the third floor.

It hasn't been fun but I have been dealing with it. Their insurance won't pay for it so now my insurance will have to cover it. Oh well.

How is life treating everyone out there? What's new?
