High 5 for Friday!

October 13, 2017

Monday’s off always throw me off, I kept hoping it was Friday by Wednesday…but here we are!

{1} 
Books! 
I joined the Girly Book Club last month but didn’t get to make it to the meetup. I am so excited to do this month’s in a couple weeks. The book was The Alice Network by Katie Quinn. Let me tell you guys. I love loved it. Finished it in a day & half (when I should have been doing homework) 
{2}
Denver! 
I’m so excited for Denver next week that I have been compiling a list of all the fun things people recommend and I am pretty sure we will be completely exhausted by the time we get back. We already have a concert @ Red Rocks for Friday night so we just have to decide what else we really want to do. I feel like I have so much I need to get done at home and with homework before we go. I hate to leave the apartment a mess even though I live with roommates so it will likely be a mess when I get back anyway.

Weekend Fun
I was looking forward to going to see 311 at Sam Adams Octoberfest tomorrow but now the forecast says 100% chance of rain in the evening…and its cold…and I hate cold weather.  I think we are going to try and go anyway since the tickets were not cheap but I now have to figure out a cute but warm outfit and how to keep from looking like a wet poodle! 
 
OOh also having a girls night out tonight with some meetup girls! Very excited for that!

Sports Sports Sports…
The Cubs are stressing me out. For real, they barely got through last night with that win. I need them to pick it up and get their lives together. We need this World Series Win so that Thenewguy and every other Sox fan can shut up. In other sports new…my fantasy teams the last 2 weeks have sucked so bad I didn’t even win $.25. How sad is that?? 
 
{5} 
Halloween
Oye. I am usually so on top of Halloween stuff. Like costume  picked out and almost ready by Oct 1 but this year? I don’t know where the time went but I still can’t decide what I will be and where I will go. I have a friend going to a party but I refuse to pay $30 to go a B96(radio station) anything. I am also too old to be half naked because its always cold and the Cubs will probably Definitely be playing still so I would prefer a bar that will play the game.

    John's brother is having a Halloween party and he lives in marina towers. (a) I hate going downtown on halloween (b) it's going to be cold (c) I'm wearing my Damian from Mean Girls costume aka jeans and a light blue hoodie pulled closed around my face with sunglasses. I'm 32, I do what I want now.

    Funny that you chose that meme for the Halloween costume- I'm going to be Dany from GoT! We throw a Halloween party every year because I got tired of trying to find a party that didn't charge a cover and going out in general, so now I just make everyone come to me! Who are you seeing at Red Rocks? That's the #1 thing I want to do in Denver too! My friends just moved there so I'm sure a trip there is in my future. RE: Sam Adams Oktoberfest- my tip for rainy concerts is wear a poncho and drink a lot lol. Have a great weekend!
