Caves and Things

I caved today. 

I went to bed in the wee hours of the morning, woke up late, and did not pack a lunch. 

I ate elementary cafeteria food for the first time since beginning my student teaching. Probably on the worst day possible. 

Note to self:

Do NOT eat formed, amoeba-shaped hamburgers. 

Cafeteria fries are NOT as good as they look and smell. 

But speaking of burgers, I'm pretty sure this will be my Halloween costume next year. 

Halllllloweeeen. 08.0

             
I make baked goods for my friends bands. 

It started with The Laughing. 

then moved to The Lemurs. 

then Mike and The Moonpies. 

Tonight I served rice crispy treat sushi! Complete with sushi to-go boxes from my sushi pal Sam.

Because my Halloween costume was:

suuuuuushi. shrimpy nigiri. mmmmmmmmm. 

the night, abridged:

Logan from The Laughing. 

A homemade flaming.. uh... costume. 

Nikki

Marny

That's all folks. 

There was also some Lemuring, flasking, laderhosening, dancing, chatting, and craigslisting involved. 

All sushi was consumed, even those that I accidentally dropped in the grass. 

A lot of random people took my photo so I'm not sure where those will turn up. But at least it made me feel like I was putting my art student-ness towards something useful??

So long Halloween. 

Until next year.

Parental Yum

I received this card from my daddy. 

My mother left me 20 seconds of her cackling like a witch on my voicemail.

I love and miss my parents. 

I love Halloweeen. 

I love that it's not terribly cold and I will not freeze my buns off tonight. 

Have a safe and happy night!

I will post pictures tomorrow after I recover from tonight's fun. 

Le Brouhaha!

HAPPY HALLOWEEEENY!

I started out the day by buying all of my morning classmates (12 of us art gals) Kolaches from the kolache factory.
I made them all yell "Trick or Treat" to get one.

Then I saw the first awesome costume of the day.
This is sure to be a good day!
There will be many Halloween related posts to come!
Have fun! Enjoy the bee-uh-yoo-tee-full weather!

Longhorn Halloweeeeen

The UT art teacher club that I am in-CANVAS (capital area network for visual art studies) did face painting for Longhorn Halloween!

                       

 My Halloween costume was incomplete, and I accidently slept over 14 hours last night/today, so I threw on some hippyish clothes and called it a costume. 

Laurel painted a peace sign on my cheek to add to it a bit. 

An Asian organization of some sort had a booth next to us where everyone was dancing to Michael Jackson, Back Street Boys, High School Musical and Spice Girls. After painting "swirlys" on one of their member's faces, it was decided that I would NOT be painting the faces of small, squirming, sometimes crying children.

Glow stick bracelets were a HUGE hit and quickly ran out. I must say that I benefited greatly from this event, leaving with several batty stickers stuck to me, a friendship bracelet, three glow bracelets, three tattoos, and having tried Mary Jane candy for the first time. 

I'm pretty sure the kids enjoyed it too. 

My cheeky EGG tattoo by Laurel and my crackly smiley face by Marny. I want a real fried egg tattoo, but probably not on my cheek.
