Friday was a normal day at work, but afterwards a bunch of us went celebrating a special event. One of my bestest buds, Kelly, got a new job this week so we all had to celebrate! Congratulations, Kells! She'll still be in the building, so I'll still have my lunch bud. *phew*

Saturday was really rainy and gross for the majority of the day. I spent it in bed watching TV and napping. I think I took no less than 3 separate naps. Very fun. Got a last-minute invite to a Halloween party so I had to throw together a quick costume. I decided the easiest thing to do would be to go as a devil... wear my own clothes and buy some horns and a tail and I'm set. I tried to pop into the closest Ricky's but apparently everyone on the island of Manhattan had the same idea. For those of you not from NYC, Ricky's is basically like Spencer's like in the mall. The line to check out wrapped all the way around the store. I waited about 35min to buy a stinking pair of devil horns. Fun party though...There was a group costume contest and I have to share one of the groups with you. They went as "Madonna-rama." It was 2 guys and a girl (can you tell who's who?) who went as a time line as Madonna. They were really funny and I couldn't believe they only got 3rd place!
Sunday was a lovely day. Sunny and cool (again, about time!) I was walking in Central Park in the conservatory garden, which is by my apartment. We were walking through this beautiful trellis that overlooks a big fountain and span of grass and took a minute to admire the view (here's a pic from this summer)
While we stopped walking this well-dressed man with his girlfriend asked us to take their photo. No harm, no foul. We took their photo and then he said, "can you take another one?" So we did... showed him the picture and he said, "Um... can you take one more?" So we took one more, showed him and again he said, "can you please take ONE more?" I was starting to get annoyed. I feel like 2 pictures is the max to ask a stranger, but we decided we'd be nice and take one more. As we took the final picture the man got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend. She was shocked and it was probably the cutest thing I have witnessed in person! We took a ton of pictures while they canoodled, wished them luck and went on our way. What a wonderful surprise!
I was in a good mood after the proposal, so I decided to carve pumpkins for Halloween! Here's my guy:
Now... back to the grind! How as your weekend?
