Halloweenie

The parks people completely tore out all of the blackberry bushes at our usual walking trail. Itโ€™s still beautiful, but I do miss them.
Hey blog! What’s the word, turd?

Hooray! Itโ€™s Friday!
When I log into my blog it tells me that this website is NOT SECURE, now in red letters. So um, don’t enter your credit card information into my blog! Yeah.

Friday Fall backyard selfie. Whatcha doing this weekend?
Speaking of credit cards, my “Vitamin Shoppe” account was hacked recently and some dork in Spokane bought 150$ worth of supplements using MY CARD. I had to call and cancel the card, but I’m irritated that the thief still got their goods. Now their address is in my account…I should show up on their doorstep and demand they hand me the supplements. Then I would dramatically toss them into the trash.

Todayโ€™s color inspiration: John Galliano does Christian Dior, 1997. Fabulous.
John Galliano, always and foreverrrrrrr. The Vitamin Shoppe was quite apathetic about my account being hacked. I wonder how often it happens?

@djmagicelf loves me so much, he bought me flowers AND a multipack of warm socks at Costco.
Jeez Josh bought me these flowers quite a while ago, but thanks to the magic of whatever chemical they put in those little packets, they are mostly still alive. He also bought me a 5-pack of thick winter socks, because he loves me.

This little rainbow hat was intended for a very small head. Luckily my son was around to make my dreams come true.

Sick baby snuggles. Mama needs a LOT of coffee these days. โ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธ
Sweet little guy. Somehow I managed to avoid the last cold he and Josh had.

Sunshine Fall. My favorite. ๐ŸŒž
What is happening around here? I voted. I’ve been drinking a lot of plain hot water. I’ve given up sugar for the month of November, as I was in a sugar free-fall the last couple of weeks and gained 5 pounds POOF!

My mother sent me this cute picture of a heart-shaped pumpkin in her pumpkin patch
This pumpkin in my parents’ patch either looks like a butt or a heart, depending on your mood.

Fall boots!
Fall means time to break out my floral Docs!

Who needs Halloween decorations? The monkey puzzle tree in our front yard is covered with fancy webs right now.
Why decorate the front yard for Halloween? These webs were plenty spooky.

Serving up Pumpkin Patch Glam! This look was partly a response to @madlymazzy RUDELY telling me that motherhood had turned me into a โ€œfleece vestโ€, and partly because Iโ€™m watching the latest season of โ€œSchittโ€™s Creekโ€ and Moiraโ€™s constant parade of wigs i
C’est moi, serving up Pumpkin Patch Glam. I was inspired by Moira on “Schitt’s Creek”. If you haven’t seen it yet, DO IT. So funny!

I mean, my arms don’t even look that fat here. Success!

Fall is so pretty. It’s my third favorite season. Spring, summer, fall, and then winter of course dead last.

This beautiful crop of trees is at the park we walk at every day.

Here’s Goo-age playing in a pile of leaves in Spokane. Josh and he embarked on a journey sans mama a couple of weeks ago. I felt cold symptoms coming on, but mostly I needed some ME time, soooo badly. So I got it.

True.
It was a good thing Josh made it over to Spokane when he did, because he was able to see his grandmother one last time before she passed away. We’ll be attending her memorial service this weekend.

Friday Work Face
Here I am at work, what a geek! I should be wearing my contacts more before I have to wear bi-focals and therefore wear glasses all the time…but I’m lazy. Maybe some day I’ll get the Lasix. Like after my IVF children are paid off.

โ˜‘๏ธ
You bet I did! I’m a lot more politically aware than I was in the past. I listen to NPR every day. I read a News app on my phone. Unfortunately this also means I’m pissed off a lot more now, but such is being a Grown Up.

Spotted in my neighborโ€™s yard.
Meanwhile, in my neighbor’s yard…

And to think, it was so much more beautiful in real life.

@djmagicelf blonded me up this weekend. Now if he hones his hair cutting skills, I can have all my hairdressing for free! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
Joshy is now my in-home hair stylist and he made me blonder over the course of a few evenings. I like it.

We hastily decorated our pumpkins on Halloween Eve. Kind of reminiscent of my procrastinating family decorating the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Our last-minute decorated pumpkins. Mine’s supposed to be a peace sign, and the baby’s is supposed to be a tiny ghost.

Happy Halloween! From Old Liz and Old Josh. ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿ‘ด
This was our Halloween look–if you’re experiencing deja vu, it’s because we did old people in 2014 too! This was my husband’s idea. Just between you and me, blog…I think he has an Old Lady fetish.

Coached by a team of physical therapists, here comes Old Man Baby!
But come ON how cute was Mr. Baby with his tiny walker??

Hereโ€™s a close-up of the tiny walker Josh made the baby for his Halloween costume. It has a glitter finish. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Josh made it out of PVC pipe. He even added a glitter finish!

I like how thereโ€™s a real spider clinging to the fake web outside
Josh even threw some decorations on the house, the night before Halloween. I love the fact that a REAL spider is hanging out on the fake web.

Unlike dumb cats, dogs will present a fluffy tummy and then enjoy it when you give them a scratch!
Did you rub a Cub today? I did.

I bought Maggie some CBD oil at a local dispensary today. I hope it helps her arthritis. I had never been to a dispensary before, in spite of wanting to go to one for years. It was about what I expected. I stood there thinking of all those wasted hours as a youngin’, waiting for the drug dealer to show up. Teenage Liz would have been REALLY stoked about the idea of just strolling into a shop and purchasing pineapple-flavored weed, good Lord. How ironic that I don’t smoke any more! Heigh ho! Ta ta blog.
