What's New With Me: October

Unlike last month, this month has been much more tame, generally speaking. 

It started off with a day off spent at New York Comic Con! Blue and I didn't attend any panels this year because we didn't find any scheduled for that day all that interesting, but it was fun just walking around checking out all the people dressed up in cosplay costumes (Red from Fraggle Rock was definitely my favorite), taking silly pictures, and of course increasing our Funko POP! collection! I got Porkchop and Skeeter from Doug (anyone remember that cartoon?) and Buddy the Elf, and Blue got Danny and Sandy from Grease, Maz Kamata from Star Wars, Iron Man from the Avengers, Jack-Jack from Incredibles 2, and Boris the Wolf from Bendy and the Ink Machine, who we have never heard of but is worth more than anyone else from the haul because he was an FYE Exclusive. I also won a Rick's King County Sheriff pin from The Walking Dead! 

The next day was Blue's sister's retirement party. After 32 years she finally retired from UPS, and we were so happy that she actually took the time to celebrate it. It was a huge party with full buffet, speeches, a photo booth, and a lot of people I didn't know, but it was a lot of fun! I especially liked the "retire-mints" she gave everyone.

We saw our final concert of the year: Florence and the Machine. Her voice is amazing but she's kind of really weird. First she was talking about spirits, at one point she made everyone hold hands, and another time she made you hug your neighbors on each side. And the very nice lady sitting next to me was all into it and actually followed through. I'm not a huge fan of people touching me, especially strangers, so this was really uncomfortable until she said I didn't have to hold her hand through the whole song. Thank goodness for small favors! 

We had our annual Halloween party last weekend, but I just recapped that the other day. Other than that, I was sick during the middle of the month- luckily it was just a cold, but it certainly made me slow down, which was pretty great actually. Other highlights this month include Keebler cuddles, watching Hocus Pocus, finding my old pog collection (please someone tell me they remember pogs! I found several PAGES of them, including a full page exclusively of 90210 ones!), and finding this awesome craft beer that I sampled at a festival but finally found in a store- at Costco of all places! And it truly tastes like those Samoa Girl Scout cookies! So good. 

And right now I'm at a work conference in Long Beach, CA.

What's new with you?
