Hey Goblins and Ghouls! I'm finally back!
Been far too long my minion friends. Life has been a whirlwind of busy this year, and I am sad that I am only touching base with you lovely folks now. I feel like I have missed out on so much already!!
My little minion started Kindergarten this year, and that has been busier (and harder) than I thought. I figured with him being in school I would have MORE time to do things, but it seems the opposite has happened.
With my crazy work schedule and my son's schedule it is a massive juggling act. And of course being the sucker I am, I have signed up to volunteer for virtually everything at the school. DOH! I miss my little guy so much that I will do what I can to be around him. I feel like a lion stalking her prey...creeping the school yard and peeking through his classroom window.
We went to Disneyland earlier this year, and it was AWESOME! I friggin love that place...nothing better than feeling like a kid again, and seeing your little one light up!
On the Halloween end of things I am in full swing! The house is spooked out to the 9's...and I have way too many projects on the go. My most current project that I am working on are skeleton flamingos. I scored at a garage sale this summer and got 12 Pink Flamingos for 10 bucks! Those things are usually pretty pricey...so I was stoked to say the least. My son is SO on board with Halloween this year, more than ever. We even have a big countdown chalkboard that he religiously changes the number. He has been living in his Optimus Prime costume for the past three days...
We also just got a kitten! She is so freaking adorable...and bat sh*t crazy. We fittingly named her Halloween, Hallow for short. And Weenie when she is in trouble. She gets called Weenie more than anything....little crap stain. Currently she is attacking my fingers as I type...OUCH!
I'm still playing Roller Derby for the most part, I have taken a little leave of absence for awhile as I had been going hard for nearly 3 years. It was time for a little break! Being the league president and attending 2-3 practices a week was really beginning to take its toll. I pretty much burnt out. So I am stepping back until the new year when I will hopefully have a new appreciation for the sport and the pile of work that goes along with it.
I look forward to chatting with all my old favorites again this year...and meeting the new additions to the ZP family!

you've most definitely been a busy bee this year, but I can't wait to see your energies poured into Halloween
