Halloween 2008 is coming soon!!

It's that time again!!!
Halloweeen TIME!! Ooglie Booglie Time!!

I love the holidays and Halloween is always special because its the first of a long streak of holidays to come. I was looking forward to today because I had asked Nini to take me to our lovely storage unit to get our holiday supplies. this was not an easy trip... For starters, we've been experiencing a heat wave (again!) in Northern california so it was hot. Plus I'm about 10 degrees hotter carrying the baby so that made it feel like 100 degrees. We dropped off all of our summer supplies, including camping gear, some beach stuff etc. It was a little sad to say goodbye to the summer but its always exciting to take out all of our Halloween, Thanksgiving and X-mas decorations. We loaded the car with the boxes of our holiday goodies after dropping off all of the summer stuff. It was so hot that I began to picture the cool weather that comes with the holidays and I got super excited. I cannot wait for our first major rain of the season. I love rain...

I just finished putting up our Halloween decorations and I must say, it feels great to have everything all festive!! I have a few more things to buy but here's my secret: at the end of each Halloween, I go online and into stores and purchase a bunch of stuff after Halloween is over, that's because everything goes on sale...sometimes for a discount of 50-75% off. The trick is not to open the stuff and wait for the next year. So this year I got to open a couple of new items and it was cool because it felt like I just bought it! Ta Daa :) I know its a little corky but its fun, trust me. I'm a little dissapointed because I didn't do as much post Halloween shopping as I should have last year so I may need to get a few more things. This is a very special Halloween since I'll have my baby boy to celebrate it with. I just hope he arrives sometime before October 31st!! I'll also be home a lot and will also be having a lot of friends and family over so more reason to go on a decoration crazy-streak.

I also usually host a annual pumpkin carving event at my house. I am not sure what the deal is for this year since I'm due dead smack down in the middle of October. I figure I will plan it once the baby arrives... but a lot of people have been telling me that I probably won't have the energy. We'll see about that!

If you are ready to start carving, check out this website that offers a bunch of free (printable) carving designs for your pumpkin: http://www.dltk-holidays.com/halloween/mpatterns.htm. My dad and his gf just got us a small little pumpkin for the house so I'm going to try and paint it. I've never painted a pumpkin before but if you check out these you can see how cool they turn out:








So if you're like me and love the holidays, get out your decorations and get a head start on the holiday love. Happy Halloween Time!

THE HAWAII WARRIORS SUCK and I HATE THE TEAM, THE COACH and THE FANS!!

Image
Talk about lucky sons of bitches, if you didn't get a chance to see the Spartan's nearly dominate the Hawaii Rainbow pansies, then you missed one heck of a game. ( picture slideshow courtesy of the SJ Mercury News ) The game began at 5pm and the weather was crap... rain was pouring and the fans were a few... that was until the sun came out and the fans began arriving, reaching to 20,000+ packing the Spartan stadium. ESPN packed the house in the press-box, scouts were hovering around the media stations, trying to find a good seat and stadium workers ran around the stands wiping down seats so people's rears could remain dry. The Hawaii Rainbow Pansies were the talk of football and everyone was expecting SJSU to lose and to lose big. The spread for the game had Hawaii favored by 20+ points. Since this was the only Division 1 football game to be aired on Friday night, everyone on ESPN was ranting about hawaii and their lame ass QB Brennan. Football Analysts were sure that San...

thug night...pack up your eggs baby!

Image
I updated this story.. so if you read it. Reread it. I missed some very important points. ******************************************************************************** What seemed like a normal Tuesday night .. turned out to be quite interesting. First off, I got home lastnight from work before Neil. I was working from home when Neil got home and said let's take the dogs for a walk and grab coffe and go to the grocery store.. Good Ole Zanatto's. We got the dogs dressed and heade d out. After grabbing coffee and groceries, we start heading back home. The walk home is about 3 blocks but we pass many bars and many thugs on our route home. lastnights thug count was out of control. We were walking towards blockbuster/farenheight on San Fernando when we walk past a group of teenagers... about 10 of them. They seemed nice... One of the boys calls Rocco over. Keep in mind i have 2 dogs on leashes with one hand and I'm juggling 2 coffees in my other hand while Neil is lugging 2 ...

Football Widow 2010

Its Football Friday at the Parry House again. For those that don't know, my hubbie is the defensive coordinator for the Sobrato High School Football Team. They are so far 2-1 (Ugh that loss still hurts) and they are ready to play again tonight against Independence High school in San Jose. Here's their entire upcoming schedule The game should be good and if the boys come out to play, they should get the BIG W! Let's go BullDogs! A common terminology used by woman married to men that coach football is that during football season you are a football widow. It is NO JOKE. I thought that football was time consuming when Neil played back at SJSU but NOW, its CRAZY!! Coaching is a very time consuming job, especially if you are super into it like my husband is. Practice M-F afternoon/evening, games friday nights and football planning half the day on a SUNDAY!! With 2 boys at home with me, its super hard because Neil is so tied up with football!! I love love love football season ...
