I know what you mean about Gwen. I think I am getting old. I am just not getting some of the new songs or even fashion. I was in Wet Seal (my friend is super tiny) and, seriously?!? Not only were there little middle schoolers dressing like hoochies with their cell phones and designer purses, but there were actual hoochie MAMAs with their boobies all hanging out while they push their kids all over town. And then there is me in my sweater, cami, and jeans standing in a sea of boobies, midriffs, and bare backs (why even wear a shirt? whey not just run around in pasties for corn's sake?) Yes. I am officially old. I say things like "for corn's sake", and I listen to star, soda gives me a stomach ache, feel like my brother watches TV and listens to the radio at an unbearably high volume and yet I can't hear when someone is talking to me, and my joints make noises when I move. All signs of being OLD. ek.
Hee hee..Rusty..I know rusty..if anyone asked me to do anything technical I learned from college I would have to get back to them in about 4 years so that I can go back and retake my major. I know my dad is serious about getting drawings made up one day, but he's total procrastinating as always. We would still have a garage, we just won't have that patio in the front.
Are you dressing up for Halloween?

LOL at first I was like… who’s Rusty?
Yes, signs of old age – you and me both. Minus the soda giving me a stomach ache. Yeah, sometimes I’ll walk by Wet Seal and think, oh, I like that… or that’s a bit much (or literally, little)… and then it’s like, wait a sec, this is a store for teens ? It’s like that episode of SatC when Sam does a party for this 14-year old, and the girl and her friends come up to the SatC girls and they’re all “loving” Carrie and her column and “shut up” and doing things with guys and buying bottles of dom perignon (sp???) or whatever drink it was… ridiculous. The lines between “child”, “teen” and “adult” are slowly diminishing. *sigh *
I want to dress up for Halloween to work, but don’t know as what. A co-worker is dressing as a Geisha for her Halloween party and I thought it was a good idea, but don’t want to bite her and dress like that for work. I won’t be attending any Halloween parties, for some reason Vilasay had booked a campsite for camping this weekend (if you haven’t noticed, he’s quite into camping). I thought about dressing as one of the Pink Ladies from Grease (not the naughty Sandy, I cannot get into her get-up even if it is all black). Oh well. How about you, are you dressing up?
Oh, speaking of hoochies, I was at this store called Final Choice looking for some hair pins (it’s like a Claire’s with the cheap/costume jewelry and other accessories) and along one wall were costumes… practically every normal female costume with the word “Sexy” added to the front. You can guess how all the costumes looked.

My boss wants us all the dress up for Halloween. A Geisha is cute...that might be weird to dress like that for work though. A Pink Lady would be cute too! My sister was thinking of dressing up like a plastic surgeon because she said scrubs would be the most comfy next to pajamas. I told her that I would be her "before" patient. I also told her that she could be Dr. McBitchy, but she didn't appreciate that comment. lol. I still haven't decided what I want to do. I might just throw on some devil horns and call it a day. I was also thinking of maybe dressing up like raggedy ann. Or maybe I will recycle my hippy costume from a few years ago and do that again. ::sigh:: I better decide soon.
Ugh..the "sexy

You crack me up! Yes, I’ve seen the socket-and-plug couples costume… Bowling ball and bowling pin, now that’s original! But not a very self-image-boosting costume if the girl is the bowling ball…
Aha! A doctor! I have forgotten! My sister used to love lab days because they’d go in scrubs (or for some reason one of her classes had them wear scrubs). But since it’s not required here, I’d probably want to really dress up. But then again, I don’t know if I will. I told you the story of last year, right? I came dressed as Little Red Riding Hood (white girly top with blue checkered skirt and petticoat, white stockings and mary janes, toped with the red hood) and no one else dressed except for a little bit during lunch, and a couple of people who wore all black (as a “witch” or the guy who wore a jersey over jeans). I was so embarrassed, when I walked in I originally thought I had my days mixed up. And I didn’t bring a change of clothes. Well, my boss was dressed in 70s with psychedelic-ish jacket, white pants, a big giant ‘fro and big sunglasses. But she blended in with the day-to-day people much better than I…
