James: Ok. You guys are still going out with us tonight, right?

Ted: “No.” Robin:”No.” Lily: “Jammies”

Marshall: “Tonight? It’s after 9 and I have warm soup belly…”

James-No No No No NO-You guys are young, attractive people here on the greatest city on earth. There are boys and girls in nobody cares Wyoming wishing they could be here. But instead they are in someone’s basement drinking bad malt liquor debating whether they’re going to spend their Saturday night in the parking lot of the feed store or in some other dude’s basement.

Saturday night was the second Halloween Party, this time with a group of my close friends from college. We didn’t stay at the party too long because we were both pretty beat. Since Match had class all day Sunday, I got up early and decided to clean the apartment all day. I swear sometimes I wonder if I should be picking out term life insurance with the way I’m acting like an old lady these days! First we left the party at 11 pm, and then I’m getting up at 6 something on a weekend, and cleaning?! What happened to crazy party girl? The funny thing is, even when I was a crazy partier, I’d still get up early and clean. Must be my weird OCD/Virgoitis.

Barney: You know what I love about Halloween? It’s the one night of the year chicks use to unleash their inner ho-bag. A girl dresses up like a witch, she’s a slutty witch. If she’s a cat, she’s a slutty cat. If she’s a nurse-

Lily: Wow, we get it.

Barney: She’s a slutty nurse. -How I Met Your Mother

When I got home last night I was so excited! Halloween was finally here, and for the first time in my life I had a date. I was so ready to go out! I was just hoping that the outdoor lighting in downtown wasn’t too bright, because my lovely legs are still covered in rash marks. Unfortunately, my rash was the least of our worries.

Robin: How can a pumpkin costume be sexy?

Ted: It was carved in strategic locations. -How I Met Your Mother

Match and I finally went to his parents house last night. It was nice to stop by, but because of my stupid itchy legs, I wasn’t the most comfortable in the world. Still, their house is not hot and stuffy like our apartment, so we were able to relax on the couch and watch our favorite channel, Home & Garden TV. We love those home improvement shows they have, especially house hunters. I think they give good advice for new home owners like we will hopefully be one day. It amazes me the little things you can do to update a house too, even if it’s just changing from industrial knobs on the kitchen cabinets to something a little more modern. I know, I’m a huge dork, but home improvement and housewares is to me what shoe shopping is to most women. I just love it!

Lily: Guess what came in the mail today?

Marshall: Our costumes? Do they rule?

Lily: They rule. And yours is 100% wool so you won’t get hypothermia like last year.

Marshall: [deep voice] Tarzan nipple blue. -How I Met Your Mother

So I wrote awhile back that Match and I are dressing up in Couples Costumes for Halloween this year. I have been so excited about this-it is officially the first year I’ve gotten to wear a couple costume, ever. I think it’s kind of fitting-I’m finally in a real relationship, and now I’m getting to do all of these real couply things. Last night Match and I picked out pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch, and we braved the corn maze. I’d never been in a corn maze before, and I of course thought it would just be soooo easy. I thought we’d be through it in 15 minutes, tops.
