This is work?

It's Halloween everybody! Happy, happy!

At work today, we had a pumpkin carving contest and a "Fall Treat" contest. Here are the pumpkin submissions:

Minez is 10:

I won 1st Place! $60! Woowoo! At first, I thought I might feel a bit guilty, for two reasons...one is that it is not an original design and two is that John carved it. But hey, I figure the money benefits us both so who cares who carved it??? AND! AND! John entered the same pumpkin in a contest at his work on Monday and it won the $100 1st prize!

For the "Fall Treat" contest, I made Banana-Pineapple bread. It's nothing fancy and was quite simple to make...AND I still won 2nd place! $25! Woowoo! The conference room table was full of food:

and honestly, my favorite was pizza dip this girl brought in. She actually won 3rd place ($15) for it. I'm glad she didn't win 1st because I think the competition was obviously for desserts although you could argue that pizza dip is still a treat. Whatevs.

I made $85 y'allz...booyah! ($185 if we include John's winnings!)

I didn't dress up today. We didn't end up going to any Halloween parties this year, so I had no reason to spend $50 on a costume just to wear it to work. A couple of years ago, I wore my little white horns from King Richard's Faire to work and so this year I stole John's. His are much cooler anyway. I just like my white ones because they look like bone and I guess I thought that made them believable...

John and I are going to my dad's tonight to see Mikey and Julia and for John to scare the trick-or-treaters with his freaky mask and cloak. I'm sure I'll post pictures later.

So this morning as I'm trying to prepare for the party here, my boss comes in with a couple of children's books and asks me to scan in the pages with pictures and make a powerpoint presentation out of it. What? Yes. You read right. I had to make him a presentation because he was going to his son's school today to read the books to the class and he couldn't just read a book like everyone else. Took me like 2 hours to crop all the pictures.
