30 in 30 Finale

So, this was a bit harder than I thought but it has been done haha! Luckily there are new things you are introduced to each day that are a bit unexpected. (if not I probably would not have made it)
 
Best part of Week 4? The unexpected success of my Fantana costume and my anniversary gifts from my amazing husband.
 

Day 24
 
New Yum yums
 
This Thursday I had the wonderful joy of closing. No surprise, I close every Thursday, but the big surprise was that Paul packed me a dinner. So sweet. He made chicken and jalapeno rice with squash and zucchini. It was so good. One of my new favorite meals! Just enough spice to jazz it up. It was cute all bagged up in my Storm Trooper bag with a healthy desert. I also had the Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yoplait, which was not as good as the dinner. Not much flavor, mainly just tasted the Greek yogurt. I definitely like the tropical one much better.


Day 25
 
New tea time
 
Organic Raspberry Leaf by Traditional Medicinals. It is really good. I think I had 4 cups before work while I worked on my Fantana pants which were a huge pain in the rear. Who new restructuring and fitting a size 34 / 34 men's pants down to a women's size 5 would be such a bad experience haha. I made it worse by cutting off too much fabric and then having to make it work. Tea was really good though.

 

 

 

Day 26 and Day 27

 

Halloween Shenanigans

We threw our Halloween Party this night and had so much fun haha. The Anchorman costumes were a hit. Who new I would have that much fun in a mustache and acting as a man. Our friend Danny was Burgandy, I am next in my Fantana, Paul was a little too smart to be Brick, but he tried, and then we had our very Champ, Champ. The night was full of good friends, games, and more. the more included a late night that went in to the early morning. Our Champ was kind enough to introduce some Apple Pie Whiskey to the party goers.  It is a very sweet tasting alcohol. Very sweet. It smelled a bit of old apple juice left out to long which has begun to crystalize. We mixed it with a few other concoctions, none of which were successful. Let's just say I don't think I will be buying more anytime soon.

I also had lots more of the Raspberry Tea later Sunday because I lost my voice and felt slightly worse for wear.

 

 

 

Day 28

 

Funny Movie? 

 We went with our friends Matt and Megan to the Esplenade Dine-In Theater to watch Bad Grandpa on Monday night. It was okay. Not exactly my type of humor. I did laugh a couple of times, but, yeah, more of a guy movie I think. Paul seemed to really like it. Best part of the night was when I luckily had to use the ladies room, therefore missing the "joke" involving pooping on a wall. Man... Let's just say fart jokes and naked old men don't make me roll over giggling.
 


Day 29
 
Not so good new experience.

So, I had my second crown put in in September. That alone was an adventure because of errors made by the dental office, it took 6 visits in all to make it happen. So my new experience was that for the first time, I had a crown break in half. Yep, one month old, and while I was eating soup and cracker, snap, there it went. Luckily the fit me in pulled the old one of and gave me a temporary until the new one comes in. Kind of crazy. Let's just hope that the new one lasts longer than a month.



Day 30

Fun Times

One of my gifts that I was planning on giving Paul for our anniversary was to make a League of Legends of character that we could play together. (Funny thing was that he thought the same thing and was trying to download the game for me while I was at work and couldn't figure out why my computer was saying it already had the version.) Great minds think alike I guess. So on Wednesday I played my first game. I tried out Vayne, a Night Hunter who uses ranged weapons to attack with. She is okay... I am going to try a tank next.  After a few hours of that we, or I should say I watch a new movie on Netflix, to prepare for Halloween A Haunting at Silver Falls it was pretty bad haha, I didn't even jump once and I guessed the ending half way through. Definitely not recommending to anyone else :)

 Day 31 (1 extra)

Halloween Anniversary




Paul and I had a great Halloween. We woke up to gifts form each other. Just a few small items to brings smiles and laughs. Our big gift was a Brock Samson statue to go with my Molotov.
We went to lunch at Logan's which neither of us has had in years, and then we came home and started getting ready for Project Hero's Trick or Treating event. After that we went to Jackie and G's and hung out with friends, ending the night at Angel's Trumpet trying their October 31st special, a giant chicken biscuit with gravy and cheese. Delicious, especially the tater tots.

This blog series was an adventure in itself.

30 in 30 Week Two

Another week down and 8 new experiences since my last blog. My favorite was I actually tried a snakebite utilizing Woodchucks Pumpkin Cider and the Four Peaks Pumpkin Porter. Pretty spectacular or should I say spooktacular (oh geez haha)

Day 10

 Was a nice relaxing morning with Paul, running around to the costume shop and craft store for Susan Strong and Breakfast Princess Accessories. On our own Adventures Time we decided to stop and get sushi at How Do You Roll and we tried two new rolls.

The Beefeater
Soy Wrap, Brown Rice, Grilled Beef, Avocado, Green Onion, Cucumber, Wasabi Mayo, and Teriyaki

　
and the Crazy Cajun.
Seaweed Wrap, Brown Rice, craw fish tails, green onion, jalapeno, cucumber, sweet chili, sesame chili oil, chili powder, and tempura crunch

They were both good but I preferred the crazy Cajun.

 

Day 11
Finished a new book.
 

I was a little worried at first that the book tried to have a somewhat exciting beginning still cane off as droll. The main heroin is very logical and I read her as unemotional and slightly monotone but in the end the side characters and the story drew me in and  I started and finished the book in one week. 6 days to be precise (and only because work was holding me back) 

I also had one of the most strangest interviews. It's that time of year again where we are hiring our seasonal employees. One of my prospective cashiers was a retired CIA operative. After 25 years with the CIA working in intelligence the best answer she could come up with was, "I'm sorry most of my missions were classified and I can not talk about what I learned or did." Really you can't figure out a way to speak with a metaphor or something away from the CIA just to answer the question, "when was a time that you had multiple things to do in a small amount of time and how did you manage the situation"??? Never did laundry, the bathrooms, wash the dishes, and take out the trash all in one hour????

Day 12
This was the day I not only tried the snakebite, but I tried it at a new eatery.  Thanks to Jackie and G, I was introduced to Angel's Trumpet Ale House. Delicious. Paul and I shared the spam sliders to begin with, then I had the wild game wrap. This was a sausage wrap that I totally forgot to ask what kind of game it was made out of. Too many bites maybe :-P
The only flaw was the wrap might have been too big. It was a bit hard to eat, but other than that, great company and great food.

Day 13

I made my very first Bacon Scarf. Yes, you heard that right. It is supposed to be chilly this Saturday for the "Best Halloween Party Ever" event so I decided Breakfast Princess needed an accessory.

I also tried one of the new seasonal treats at Target. The salted caramel cupcake. It was so delectable. No way I could have more that one, but that is probably a good thing. If you like sweet and salty, then it is a must!

 

Day 14

New shoes! And at a great deal! On sale for $15 and then used my Cartwheel App and saved another 20% off. Woot!! If you haven't signed up for Cartwheel, get it. You just need a Facebook account. You can take it mobile on your phone or print out the barcode from home, but you earn saving spots where you choose discounts to add and these discounts stack with both the Target coupon and a manufacturer coupon. Just ask if you have questions, but try it!
Also on Monday Paul and I watched the first episode to the new season of Walking Dead! OMG is the disease now coming out in a virus form, is it something else???? Hmmmm
 

 

Day15

Today was the day I worked on my Toast Princess Koozie most of the day, but I did take a break to run to Sprouts for a sandwich and picked up these new chips. I am always a fan of pumpkin so there was no doubt I would try them and they did not let me down. A tasty corn tortilla ship with a hint of pumpkin.

 

Day 16

 

So today for the first time I am trying to shellac food, a waffle to be exact. It is currently drying so fingers crossed it works out!

 

 

That is my week of the new... more to come next week...
