Pirate @ MindSay

Happy Halloween!

I find it hard to believe that this is my first Halloween blogging, but there you have it. In light of that I have yet to share my love of this day with all of you.

Halloween is awesome. It is harder now that I'm older and it isn't quite as acceptable to go around dressed up...you have to have a reason, ye know?  But fortunately, I am a librarian and we get to dress up at work.

So, obviously, I am a vampire, and that is my coworker, Lisa....dressed as a pirate. (Hello to Lisa who is making her first visual apprearance here on the blog!)

Here's a close up so you can get the full effect of the make-up.

Please note my RED eyes. For those of you not versed in vampire lore--it means that I have been drinking too much blood. (I vant to dreenk your blood!).

Oh, and here's one more: Me and my boyfriend....Count Dracula!

 Alrighty, then, Happy Halloween. I am waiting on pictures of all my friends kids...to see how cute everyone is for Halloween. So there will likely be a Halloween Redux post.

Until then.......

SOOO asian fest falls on a day I promised I worked for someone else. poopy.... So now that bummed me out.

My mom got out the sewing machine so I repaired my skirt, determined it non repairable so ima make it into a totebags. I lurve totebags (Should I start making them proffessionally and sell them?)

yet to go get my new toothbrush. I need too reaaally badly.

I'll hear no more of the cop, I made sure of that today (he tried calling again today)

OH i forgot to mention pirate day!

like last tuesday I did this. Larry made mention about just be a pirate! I was wearing my pirate pants at work afterall. WHY NOT! So I ended driving to our sister store 'stole' a sign from their back room, and drove it back to my store to put on my fixture at my store. muahahaha

My pirate pants are like theirs.

gave sassy a bath today with tea tree oil in the shampoo to aleviate her itchiness in her legs. If that deosnt help ima try aloe next and not that then coconut oil.

This is gonna sound weird. But I found a lil red string on my hand...someting I did was right. Red = good. Black string = bad...means one of my clothings is tearing apart. I usually wear ONLY black, but my cheating shirt,,,which I still have actually. Maybe I should turn it into a totebag too, i can't wear it. IT waaaaaaay too small for my boobs.

No larry, No.

yep so im off to get me a toothbrush, nadine mentioned 'pengion walking' she's a weirdo.

but its great, cause she actually didnt say that. but it's stuck now muahahaha!

bee tee dub, im over christmas already. it aint hardly started and im over it.

here's a pic of me in my book kimono

Ive lost some weight since.  and my doggy!!

quick story, ok this dog does not like staying by her bowl to eat, she'll grab like 6 kibbles and walk away to eat it. (best exercise program i ever heard of).

Well Larry can't stand it. so he decided one day to put her in a small room with her and the dog food. so she has no choice. I of course let her out (she has a seperation anxiety and might actually hurt herself to get to me) and proceeds to grab like 6 kibbles walks over to larry and just drops them on his shoe. heheh his face was priceless.

good times man good times. ok tooth brush time! my mouth feels yuckY!

Swords are considered as one of the best and effective weapons. They have great historic value. In the past, royal families carry swords not just as a weapon but also as a symbol of their status. Even today, people keep swords with them just for the sake of their high social status.

You can have a huge collection of unique swords at your place and can use them for decoration purposes. And to make the collection more authentic and precious, one must keep in mind the traditional importance of swords. Collectible swords are divided into two categories – one is functional swords and the other one is display swords.

Functional swords give a real impact of weapons due to their highly durable and sharp edges. They are very much quality efficient swords. As a sword collector you will feel a real pride when you have some original stuff in your assortment. Display sword is the other category of swords which you can have at your place. These swords are very much light weight and are specifically meant for decoration purposes. One can easily afford this collection of weaponry as display swords are not much expensive.

If you are wondering to give a surprise to any history enthusiast with some thing truly special, then functional sword or display sword is the best way to impress. And if you are looking some weapon for cutting practice or martial arts practice, then practice sword is the best one. A practice sword offers the practitioner an opportunity to feel comfortable with their weapon, as these swords provides the safety of a dull wooden replica.
