Chocolate Wasted

I’m feeling a little under the weather (and by that I mean “Girl Sick”) so it’s a mac-n-cheese in a cup and comfy yoga sweats kinda evening. Jorgie and Justin are fed, bathed and in bed, my kiddos are still at their dad’s and my love is getting ready so we can get comfy on the couch and watch The Walking Dead. I’m excited!

So Friday was all about work. Work at work, preparing for this event. Meetings here and there. Tamales in said meeting. Got out of work, got a hair cut (finally) and picked up my Babe. Went to Old Navy, had an unsuccessful shopping trip and then we got some parts my van needed, he fixed it real quick, we picked up some “snacks” at Jack-in-the-Box, we did some more work in the cold, picked up Starbucks and then we got some Wendy’s on the way home. I “behaved” and got some chili, heh. Michelle had wanted to go out, but man, I was just so exhausted and I couldn’t bare to spend more money so we got home and crashed out.

The next morning I showered, had Jorge’s leftover Starbucks (he didn’t like his Venti Caramel Macchiato) and I took Mom to run an errand. We went to the Halloween stores, where we met up with Michelle and Rosie, to try and find costumes for Jorge and I for Jim’s party that night. The first store was messy and I didn’t find anything. We went to the second and stood in line for an hour and a half where you could only browse the costumes by the picture on the wall, just so Jorge’s costume wouldn’t be the right size and I didn’t remember the right “number” for mine. I was so frustrated and I was meeting Mario and my babies at the Pumpkin Patch to take their pics so we left. It was great seeing my babies and we got some good shots 🙂

Don’t mind the hair, heh. I totally didn’t plan on being in any pics, but I think it came out ok :).

The kiddos left with Mario and Mom and I headed to another store. This one was SUPER EXPENSIVE. So I gave up. I went to Payless to find some cheap boots so I could use the pirate wench costume I already had and just buy Jorge a pirate one to match, but I didn’t like any of the boots. I headed to Walmart to get the girls their boots and a Hello Kitty Halloween shirt since Aly can’t wear her costume at school. We got a few other Halloween-y things and came home.

I ate a very late lunch and texted back and forth with Michelle. I had no idea what to do about our costumes. When my love got home and hour and a half later, we decided we’d buy Halloween shirts and stop stressing.

Jorge’s boys got here (I wasn’t expecting them so I hadn’t planned on making dinner) so we ordered pizza for them and Mom and took off to Walmart to get our shirts and some cookies. We changed in the car and made our way to the party.

Michelle, Marie, EZ, Eduardo and his wife were there from work. And Harvey. Without Evelyn. She’s back in the hospital. I hope she gets better very soon, and I hope she’s not there long-term like last year :(. I feel so bad for Harvey.

Michelle looked cute in her costume. And Marie, too. She was Zorro! She’s super funny. We played a guessing game, where they pin the name of a celebrity to your back and you ask people clues where there answer will be yes or no. I guessed my first one, Madonna, in 2 tries, heh. The second one was Regis :P. Jorge’s was Frankenstein. Michelle’s was Lance Armstrong and she took FOREVER to guess LOL.

It was super fun. Jim took us on a tour of his garden and pond. Jorge was impressed. I’m so glad he can be sociable and get along with my co-workers :). He’s the best, I could just squeeze him ♥!

Again we made plans to go out…and at the last minute we said, Nah. The boys were at home and it was still early, so we came home. My love and I chilled out on the porch. I was freezing, though. I had my booties, sweat pants, my warm sweater and a blanket and I was still cold! I said, “Some Abuelita chocolate would be great!” We were running low on milk, and the boys wouldn’t have any for their cereal in the morning, so we went to the corner store to get some. My love made me my hot chocolate when we got back.

See what I mean? THE BEST!

I drank my chocolate and since I was sleepy I gathered my things and came inside. I washed my face snuggled up with my Wish Bear…

…and woke up at noon today! Haven’t slept that long in FOREVER!

We got up and showered and picked up menudo at the Taco Ole nearest to us. The boys were quite happy, as were the adults, heh. We spent the rest of the day at home; Jorge playing Xbox with the boys and me–well, I spent the afternoon working on the program for my event this weekend and getting the email ready that I’ll be sending out tomorrow. I would have sent it today but smarty pants that I am, forgot to forward myself my exhibitor list. Grr.

My love and I snuggled a bit, then got up and went to HEB to grocery shop. It’s so much better when he accompanies me :).

We gave the boys dinner, I talked to my kiddos. They carved pumpkins at their dad’s, the girls a monkey and the boys a zombie coming out of a graveyard. Really cute. The boys told me about the movies they’re watching and the costumes they want to make. I’m taking them trick-or-treating this year :D! We need to work on both their costumes; it should be interesting, heh.

Eenan told me I was going to like The Walking Dead, so I’m going to get off this computer since my love started it already. Goodnight!
