Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Nick and I aren't dressed up today; too much to do around the house. Last night, we did the dress up thing. We had a Halloween party at our friends' house and went as John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Helps that hubby looks bit like John and I got the Asian thing going to be Yoko Ono.

We used a lot of what we already had for the costumes and picked up a few things to finish up them. For Yoko I bought a hat (she likes hats), some 70s-ish sunglasses and some sweater-like stockings (that you can't see in the picture). For John, I made Nick some pretty kickin' bell bottoms out of an old pair of jeans and added the 'wings' to make them belled out; he bought a wig and got a pair of glasses. Nick also went and shaved his beard off! Talk about hard core for Halloween!

Gorgeous Morning

I took the day off to accompany my dad to the hospital. He's having a procedure done as part of overall treatment for his cancer (I'll post about this long ordeal another day).

On my way into NYC to Columbia University Medical Center, I had the pleasure of sitting in some traffic on the George Washington Bridge. Thankfully, instead of being angry about the traffic I was able to enjoy the sun rising upon NYC. Here's a couple of pics from my cell phone while stopped on the GWB (ignore my dirty windshield).

I had no idea I married a contractor...

 Nick's been super busy around the house lately. He's made an attic hatch in the garage so that he can access the wiring of the house as easily as the attic stairs he installed in the upstairs hallway.

He's been upgrading our electric to copper since we discovered most of electric was aluminum (it was legal to use aluminum when our house was originally built and then they found out it was no good).

Nick's made a couple of holes (and messes) through out the house but I am being as patient as possible since once it's done it'll be done. While working on the massive electric project he had to pause for about a day to fix our leaky dishwasher thatch/seed our lawn.

The best (only in hindsight because he's fine) was when I heard a crash and came out to the garage to see his leg (for just a split second) dangling in the hole. Now it's a great extra place to throw down some cut wires into the garage without having a ladder in the way like the entry hatch has.
