week - end (beginning?)

Guess it starts Friday. Halloween. I "dressed up" as a black cat. This entailed black cat ears and drawn-on whiskers, black turtleneck, short black skirt, black nylons & black heels. I did wear my pink feather boa (in place of a tail) for a while, but it was getting in my way, so I took it off and put it in my bag. Oh, and I took flats and was in them long before the end of the day.

When I got home, I was in a jean skirt & tee shirt SO fast! We had Little Caesar's PizzaPizza for "dinner". I was at my parents and got a call on their phone. It was J asking if I wanted to go to the hockey game. I didn't have any plans, so said yes. Rather than climbing back into my "costume", I just wore jeans with a [different] black turtleneck and put my cat ears back on. Apparently that did the trick, because I got offered a part-time job. Hooray! The Sens lost to the SoundTigers, which did not surprise me at all. In fact, it felt oddly familiar. :s J & I didn't talk very much, just sat next to each other and texted a lot. :)

Saturday, I got up and made cookies. They're really good - I'm eating one now. :) Went back to the arena to talk to the guy, but I couldn't start because I have to go thru the application process and background check and drug test. The guy was like "I know you're fine, but Syracuse has to have the paperwork, so... You can start next Friday." So that's fine with me.

I went home and had lunch with Mom & Dad. Then Mom walked me to my hair appointment. It was GORGEOUS out! Warm & sunny - yay. :) All I had done was my part moved, a trim, and some more layers cut in the back. Mom is convinced that I had it colored. And, while it's true that you can no longer see my gray, I did not have it colored!

That night, Dad & I went to hockey. I figured I should since I'll be working games from now on. Sens vs. SoundTigers again. It was a thriller and a heart breaker. Sens were down 3-0 after 1 and 5-2 after 2. Sens scored 3 goals in 4 minutes to tie things up. Then the SoundTigers didn't score! and won the game. You may be asking yourself "how is that possible???" Hockey fans in Binghamton are still asking this question, so don't feel as tho you are the only one. :s They took a shot that bounced off the right goal post, slid along the goal line without crossing it, bounced off the left goal post, and back out into play. And the dumb ref (!!!!!) called it a goal, did not consult with the goal judge and REFUSED to look at the instant replay. Talk about heart breaker! So they won again. BOO!

..shrugs.. It's just hockey! :D

Sunday. It was supposed to be all-day meeting, but Mr. R died and the family decided to have the funeral yesterday afternoon. So we had Sunday School & morning meeting then lunch for us and anyone who came early. We headed to the funeral home around 2:15. There was lots of family from Scranton there and Dave S had a nice word. Everyone was invited back for food - it was too early to really call it supper. There was plenty of food to go around and I think there's still goodies for the kids after prayer meeting. :) I would have liked have stayed, but had told the girls I would go to Starbucks with them. W & N went with us as well, but the girls did most of the talking. :) Mr. S had gospel and it was really good! I was home around 8:15 and in my pajamas shortly there after. I was in bed by 9:45 - hooray!

And today is my last day as a temp. Tomorrow I start as Office Girl at the floor covering store. I'm excited, but nervous too. I'll keep you posted.


(in fact, as I typed that, I thought hmmm, that would be a good blog title....)
