On Friday night, Mike and I had a crêpe & pancake party at his place. It was a bit of a housewarming party, and a bit of a "Mike finished the wall" party (he took down the wall between the kitchen and the living room, and built a half wall. He did an amazing job.)

We weren't sure if our friends would be into the crêpe & pancake idea, but they wowed us with creative and delightful toppings (fresh berries, whipped cream, lemon curd, cottage cheese, yogurt, bananas, caramel sauce, and chocolate sauce just to name a few). We ended up making six batches of crêpe batter as the night progressed (I am highly indebted to my friends who slaved away in the kitchen!) and were left with only three crêpes when the evening winded down.

We both agreed it was one of our favourite parties we had ever been to (can you say that about your own party?).

tight+bright party.

went to a tight+bright party with friends last night.
i don't think i've ever seen so many men in spandex.

but rest assured, there were girls wearing spandex too.
not gonna lie...i was a bit jealous of christie anne's pink spandex body suit.
and the saxophone was a nice additional touch.

hope you are all having a neon bright kind of weekend.

pumpkin party

pumpkin carving essentials:

1. some pretty pumpkins
we got ours from the grocery store down the street.
obviously a pumpkin patch would have been primo.

2. snacks
we chose: miss vickie's salt & vinegar kettle chips, m&ms, skittles

3. tunes
somehow britney spears got turned on...
discussed britney's clever little play on words with "if u seek amy"
oh brit.

4. washable markers
those darn sharpies don't wipe off well!


my friends were so sweet & helped me etch out a special little message:

aww shucks. look at that!

and then...
off to a costume party.
we probably had the worst costumes there.
ours were a bit of the haphazard/last minute variety.

kd = mel from flight of the conchords
one guy correctly identified her costume! one for thirty! kidding...kind of.

me = cowgirl.
i forgot my cowboy hat!

sarah = a mysterious parisian
she claims she didn't dress up, but i don't believe her.

alexis = fairy

well i have to go do some homework.
i've been avoiding it all day.
i even procrastinated by making some cheese biscuits
...which were a bit of a disappointment:
tasty but ugly.

so obviously i won't be posting any pictures of them. ever.

have a good sunday night!!

ps. glee soundtrack out tuesday!
