Sunny 9 for 2004 November 2

This weekend was fun. It was Lily's fist Halloween. We had a little baby bag (a really warm sleeper type outfit for going out in the cold-kinda like a jacket for the whole body) that looks like a sheep outfit with little ears on the hood that we dressed her up in. Then she got hot so we took it off and put her to bed for a nap. For the first time in my life, I passed out candy- I feel like an adult. It was kinda lame b/c we got a bunch of kids that didn't dress up. They had on outfits they wear to school, just regular street clothes. Aaron carved a pumpkin in like 10 mins flat. It was a pirate and it looked so cute I took a picture. He also made pumpkin pie from scratch (bought a small pumpkin, boil it and made the filling with it). The crusts were shallow so we got 3 pies out of it. The pie was so good. We also rented "Billy Elliot" from Clean Flicks. It is an English film, but I think it was set in Ireland b/c the accents. It was very good, and I highly recommend it. A good quality film.

Julie and I also got to hang out together. Aaron let me have a break and watched Lily while Julie and I went out to lunch and movie. We saw Cellular with Kim Basinger. I was actually surprised. I liked it. Some bad acting, but not very predictable like I expected. A great action thriller for when there is nothing else to rent.

Lily is starting to cry real tears. It makes me sadder when she cries. She is getting so big and cute. I can't wait for my family to see her during Thanksgiving. Everyone will love her. She is also starting to know me and prefer me. It is so flattering and sweet.

There is lots of drama going on lately. Julie got burned last night from cooking. The oil splattered on her chest, arm, and neck causing second degree burns. She went to the hospital last night, and got painkillers. I know how she feels. Last summer I got second degree burns on my chest, arms, face, and upper back. It is the most painful thing in the world. My sunburn was so bad my shoulders were one giant blister and it oozed saline all day down my arm. I had to put a paper towel under my elbow at work to catch the solution. Now I have so many freckles on my arm from it, and my skin still isn't the same. All rough and bumpy. I took a picture of it b/c it looked really weird and cool, but Aaron threw it away b/c it grossed him out. I wish he didn't do that.

Anyway, I feel like a hypocrite with my title. I have a confession: I didn't vote today. I didn't change my address in time, so I don't know where my venue is... whatever. Plus, Aaron has been at school all day and I didn't want to stand in line with Lily and risk her getting sick. So there. Sue me.
