I like Latex and the Astros

The party at the Magnolia room was fun and the venue phenomenal. I love that place. Edgy and I were exhausted, though, and E even almost fell asleep on the bench. This whole mamaedgy thing is killing us. she's doing better, though, so hopefully, she'll be out of there. I'm just about sick of the hospital. I can't imagine how she feels.

My only complaint about latex is that after you take the gloves off of your hand, your skin, hair and everything else feels like you spent 8 weeks in the desert sun. Ugh. Taking a shower was horrible. I compulsively started exfoliating.

Finally, to retort to all of those Astros haters and even the fair weather fans: I say, let's hear it for the boys. At least we put up enough of a fight to send them into extra innings. I'm proud of them. Go 'Stros. Props to Chitown, though, my real hometown. I wish I was still living there to celebrate with them. If we had to lose to someone, I'm glad it was to the Great Onion and Windy City. Maybe by this time next year...

OMG

I'm still in shock. I don't believe it's real. It's like a dream.

ASTROS RULE!

And they get to play Chicago!

YEA!!!

Halloween Soiree

The party went well. 28 people showed up, so that was a decent number. It was much more mellow than the last party, and I got to actually participate, so I was pleased. The last person, other than those who camped out, left at 4:30.

I wasn't feeling well for the first part of the night. My huevos con papas didn't settle well with me. By the time most of the people showed up, though, I was feeling better though a little worn from having emptied the contents of my stomach several times. I couldn't eat anything last night, so I'm hoping the food was good. Meatballs disappeared, as did the cheese dip and other items. I didn't have much to clean up this morning.

Sadly, though, half of the pictures I took last night were deleted. If anyone has any, please send them to me.

It feels a little weird to have finished Halloween already. I usually have the party on the weekend of Halloween, so I feel like next week should be my birthday.

Today was spent cleaning up and shopping at Borders for Christmas presents. It was educator weekend--one of the only perks of being a teacher. Oh, and they are having a Narnia night on Nov 5. I'll be in SA, but the guest speaker is from HBU, so I don't think I'll miss much. Educator night at the Rockets is that night, too. Ah well, the quest for the holy Man Hands is more important.

Astros win! Yippee!
