my last week has been very eventful! halloween this year was pretty fun around these parts. i dressed up for 2 different nights. first night i was a sugar skull from dia de los muertos. fun to be something kinda scary looking. then i was "blue".. da bah de da bah di..? i really just found that blue wig and was dying to wear it. so i made people ask me what i was the whole night so i could sing that song and dance around energetically. and then last night a bunch of us went to lotus and i was kinda lame and didn't even dress up on the actual holiday.
and also it was my little brothers birthday 2 weekends ago so i made a little trip home and my sister's birthday was this weekend! so i was domestic for like the 3rd time in my life and made her a dinner that my mom had to walk me through the entire time on the phone. but it turned out great and we had a nice little mini celebration/dinner for her at my place. oh, to be 19 again. (the cookies pictured are a red velvet white chocolate recipe that barbara got online.... but we think she left out the sugar)
and now it's already november. the month i get to apply to schools! the closer it gets, the more nervous i get about being accepted somewhere i really want to go. i suppose i've done all i can up to this point (besides apply).
karma gave me a free pizza today. i'm a firm believer in good karma. i don't really like to think about bad karma... like vengeance and all that. however i do believe that if you do good things and have a kind heart, that in some way you will be rewarded (i'm using rewarded as a relative term). i try to really think about this doctrine in my every day life and act accordingly. and i think a lot of it has to do with attitude and how you react to certain events. soo how does this relate to pizza. well, today i ordered a carryout pizza with only green peppers with a coupon that brought the total to 5.45. cheap, i know. i was feeling satisfyingly frugal and extremely hungry by the time i got home only to open the box and see a pizza that was half pepperoni, half jalapenos (neither of which i will even put to my mouth). after picking off every single topping on the pizza (besides the cheese) i finally started eating the first piece. then, of course, the pizza guy called me and apologized for the mix up, that a kristen had ordered the same size pizza with the same coupon at the same time as i did. this was almost as weird to me as the time another krista davis in clarksville had a dentist appointment at the same time as me and i didn't sign in for forever because i went to the sign in sheet and my name was already there so i thought my mom did it. anyway. i told him not to worry at all- that i just picked off everything and it was all fine. and papa johns now has a note on my phone number that the next time i call, my order will be free! who doesn't like free pizza. maybe i wrongly attributed the free offer to my geniality when he called, but whatev... i'm deciding that it was because of my balanced karma. and to kristen, i'm sorry all your jalapenos and pepperonis got put to waste... hope you like green peppers! i used a lot of parentheses in this paragraph.
and i won 2 free movie tickets on the radio today right after they played the new black keys song. thanksloveya, wutk.
today, i was really indecisive with a lot of things. i wasted approximately 45 minutes of my afternoon literally walking around the block changing my mind back and forth. and i had one of those moments where i was in the middle of market square and decided i wanted to go the opposite way so i kind of acted like i forgot something so i could turn around and not feel dumb. and i just laughed to myself as i was typing that.

i'm leaving for anaheim, california tomorrow for my second work conference.. still exciting to me! and the first time i've ever been to that state and of course still am only halfway packed. i really am such a last minute packer. i always start and then find 10 million other things to do. like blog.
