Argo + Halloween Costumes

 

On Friday, I finally got to see Argo!  It was fantastic!  I love movies that are based on a true story.  This one was particularly moving since it also pulled at your Proud to be an American heart strings!  Go check it out!

 

Saturday started out with a run through a gorgeous park in Albany with my friend, Janet.  Toward the end of our run, I paused to snap this stunning shot.

I love fall.  So pretty!

After the run, Chris and I went to one of my favorite restaurants for lunch - Cracker Barrel!  I think we have found the ONLY one in the whole Northeast.  And I couldn't be happier - that place has the BEST food at such affordable prices...plus it has a fun little store attached :)

yummy pumpkin custard for dessert

Later that night we headed to the main event for the weekend - a Halloween party!  We decided we would try a couple's costumes this year.  The past two years, we had fun dressing up, but never quite matched.

2010 - Old school rapper and a referee

2011 - Native American Indian and Rastafarian

So, this year, with a little help from my dad's creative mind, we matched!  We got a lot of laughs and had a blast at the party.

2012 - Salt and Pepper Shakers

Sunday, we were all set to watch some football and just relax until we saw that the MTA was pretty much shutting down NYC at 7pm - an hour and a half before my scheduled departure from Albany.  We sadly decided that it would be best for me to take an earlier bus to ensure I safely arrived back to the city in time.  After a quick lunch, Chris drove me to the bus station and I was off.  Upon arrival to the city, I wasn't sure what to expect - visions of disaster movies danced in my head on the three hour ride back.  However, things seemed pretty calm and the weather was perfect outside, but the lines inside the stores definitely made up for it.  They were INSANE!  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of them, but here is my In Case Hurricane Sandy Is As Bad As They Predict She Will Be loot.

Not too healthy, but tried to cover all the bases :)

Late Breaking News - my weekend has been extended via Hurricane Sandy cancelling work today and tomorrow!  I won't say I'm not excited about getting the free days off work, but I'll also say I really do hope this is a flop of a storm.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  And hope you steer clear of Hurricane Sandy if you are in the Northeast!!
