Awesome and Awkward

Awesome: Eating lots of candy because of a lack of trick-or treaters/ over buying

Awkward: Getting trapped on a train on Halloween night- the train I was on lost power- so I wound up sitting in the dark, locked in the train, with a bunch of strangers...on Halloween...makings of a scary movie? I think so!

Awesome: The Boyfriend not pointing out my third eye blemish

Awkward: My close-talking (Asian) male superior at work pointing at it and and wincing "OOOOooooh...I so sooorry!" and again the next day... "Oh yeah, still there, so sorry!"

Awesome: Getting my laptop fixed for only $40 (it was the power cord)

Awkward: Being without a  laptop (and not posting) for a week...sorry guys!

Awesome: Going to Buffalo Wild Wings for Sunday Funday!

Awkward: Going with 8 male friends and one other girl, all shouting at the multiple huge flat screens, and apparently having ADD and not being able to focus on a single game!

(how I usually feel about football time, except when enjoying it at a bar with my boo and friends!)

Newport, RI Wedding Weekend Pt. 3

I didn't forget the ending of this mini-series! These were taken on our last day in Newport....or actually leaving Rhode Island. C wanted to take a "Fall Foliage Tour" on the way home, so we took the very scenic route. Unfortunately, his plans were thwarted by the still-quite-green trees! But we did have a wonderful Sunday drive!

All of these were taken near a lake in Connecticut...

and yes it was October and I'm in a tank top...it was really that warm!

love the reflection on the water- C is a great photographer!

This was a little farm we found while driving that boasted having fresh maple syrup. It was kind of weird- the house was a refurbished farm (that part was awesome), and we had to drive around it to the back (following signs). We got out and walked around a little bit, looking for a person. When no one appeared, we figured no one was home so we started pulling away and were almost back on the "main" road, when a woman came around the house finishing a sandwich- apparently we had interrupted her lunch! But she was super nice, and we bought some real Connecticut maple syrup....and it is de-lish!!
