I made a last-minute trip to Bend this weekend to cure my boredom and participate in a Halloween party and to help bring the attendance up to 8. Here are some pictures from it. It was funny. Well, the costumes were. And we played a telephone charades that was funny when Dan acted out The Shining. I love that scary movie.

I also got trapped in a mini-antique-car-tour an hour from Bend on my way on Saturday and was very excited. Most people would be annoyed by the 40 mph drivers, but it made me think of the good old days...I made sure to call my Dad to let him know about it. It was great to see a car that looked like our old Model T. Good times, riding in the rumble seat. I miss that car.

Now I have to log off the 'net and try to come up with a costume to wear to work tomorrow. Today I decided I should dress up because 1) it's a fun challenge to be creative, 2) some of my coworkers put time and thought into creating a party so I want to support them and 3) San Francisco goes all out so I think we should try to compete with their greatness. The good news about tomorrow's party (since it's been a hellish week so far) is that there will be cocktails at 5pm!!!

This is a picture my team and I put together in a whirlwind yesterday afternoon. Our ACD (aka manager) and others are having an affirmation time today during their retreat in San Fran so we put this together for her. I think we are also going to be doing a rap for her at 1:00. I was on the phone while that planning went down, but it should be funny. Anyway, isn't my team cute? We enjoy each other a lot and had fun putting this together!

Long time since I've posted pictures, eh? Dial up didn't like uploading pictures (or the user - me - was just impatient).

This is a picture from August when Brad came up with his friends Dave and Heather. I hung out with Dave at a conference in Feb so were were pseudo-friends, so it was good to meet his "other half" and get to know both of them a little better. We went on Friday night to see a band they know at one of the small McMenamins pubs. It was great. Neither of them had been to the Rose Gardens so we took them there the next day before they all made the trek back to Bend. Here they are throwing petals (instead of coins) into the wishing fountain. Good times with new friends!
