Domesticating Lindsay

I don't know what's gotten into me this week, but for some odd reason I have felt the need to become more domesticate. Wednesday night, I made homemade zucchini muffins (from a recipe that I ended up tweaking to make it my own!); Thursday night, I helped make dinner at M's for us and for TL's family; and then today, I actually cleaned my entire apartment and tried to plan out dinners for next week and for my potluck at work on Tuesday. I don't know what's gotten into me....I'm sure it won't last long though!

In other news, I ended up having a blast last night!! In fact, I think this is the first time I can remember actually enjoying my Halloween as an adult. I still was unsure about what I was actually going to do when I left work after month end at 6:30 last night, but I got into my car and called M just to check in since I was leaving so late. TL and his wife had invited the work bunch over to his house for chili and relaxing by the fire pit that night and we both had tentatively planned on going. My intentions were to go to the casino first and then since I would be out that way, just head to his house. Well, the plan on going to the casino quickly changed as M invited me over and told me that it would be easier if we just rode out to TL's later in the evening together. I was not in any sort of arguing mood and since I knew there were a few others that would also prefer that I not go to the casino by myself, I told M, I would meet her at her house after making a quick stop at home. We ended up getting out to TL's house about 10 pm and I was already starting to feel exhausted. I didn't think there would be any way I would be very good company, but soon after, we all started joking around and I forgot all about being tired. It was such a beautiful night for being the last day of October -- you can not beat temps in the low 70s and high 60s for Halloween night, especially in St. Louis. After bs-ing with C, MO, TL and B (TL's wife), singing Whitesnake and having just an all around good time, I finally got M back home at almost 2 this morning and then I high-tailed it home so I could get to bed. What a change from the last two Fridays where I went to bed so early I thought I was going to lose my "hip 25 year old" status. Ha! :)

This hip chick needs to get back to uploading some new tunes to her Ipod. I'll catch up with you later. Don't forget to "fall back" tonight. I'm sure the extra hour of sleep will help everyone! Have a great weekend!!

Halloween. I found myself at a party. And upon deciding I wanted to go home, I said I was going to the bathroom and just got in my car and left.

What a guy.

Hey that's alright Bro. Sometimes you have to do that. Did you at least have some fun before you left or was it lame?

BTW, I saw your costume on Facebook and all I can say is -- AWESOME!! :)

Um, not really. I wasn't really interested in the party. By the time we got there my mind was elsewhere. lol

And yes, my costume was awesome.

Where was your mind Bro or do I not want to know? lol

I didn't dress up at all. M wanted us to dress up as other people at work, but I quickly kibboshed that idea. Mostly because I didn't want any of the guys trying to dress like me. :)

lol, what is always going on in my mind when I'm detached from the world? Girl troubles. =P

And people might be able to dress up as me, but they won't look as handsome as I do.
