While I was there I attended a Halloween wedding of a college friend. Guests were charged to attend in costume. It was definitely the most unique wedding I've ever attended. Below is a picture of the cake.
The only person there, other than the bride, that I knew was another friend from college. She and I had a great time getting reacquainted and laughing at the rest of the wedding guests in costume. We were at the Grim Reaper table with a bunch of the bride's opera friends.
I also made it up to NYC for a couple days. Stayed on a friend's couch and got to see an amazing production at the Met. Anthony Mingella's version of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly". It was amazing and inspiring (and free!). I love knowing people.
When I got back to DC from NYC, my friend's husband was back in town and it was time for Halloween. Some other friends came over for dinner and trick-or-treaters. We had a great evening that involved way too many roasted pumpkin seeds and some "Rock Band". (For those of you who don't know.... "Rock Band" is much like "Guitar Hero" except it involves 2 guitars or bass, a drum kit, and a microphone.)
I stopped into my lovely in-laws again on the way back home to GA and I had a great time hanging out. My niece was eager to tell me all about Halloween and play a mystery identification game that she'd played at her cousin's.
Now back home, I'm doing "Disney on Ice" for the week. I'm hoping I don't catch cold going from 70 degree outside weather to on the ice rink inside. Hooray for snow boots and several layers of clothing.
Oh yeah, and THE WORLD CHANGED. Hooray for Hope! Yes we did!
