Who Wants to be a Blogganaire???

I do, I do!! Ahhh, another glorious weekend winds down and is coming to an end. I say post-Halloween BOO to that! Halloween in San Francisco was not AS crazy as I thought it would be. I mean, come on, this city is kinda like freak capital of the US. Ok, maybe a bit of an overstatement but I'm no longer surprised by what I see/hear in this city of anything goes! (Probably the actual freak capital of the US is somewhere in Virginia/West Virginia. That is backwards land over dere in dem parts, mmm hmm!)

Can I just sidebar here for a sec... (Of course I can, this is my flippin' blog I can do what I wanna do! :-)) So I'm watching Monk right now. If you have never watched this show, I highly recommend for your viewing pleasure. It is HI-LAR-ious! I initially got hooked on Monk when we were in Ireland. It was one of the few things that kept me sane in my state of 'moving to a different country' depression. Kevin would download seasons of tv shows on the computer and we would snuggle together watching episode after episode of good ole Mr. Monk. Hmm, maybe subconciously that is why we decided to move to SF. We're stalking Mr. Monk!

Back to the discussion at hand now. So yes, "Howl"-o-ween (as I like to call it) was not as wild as I was expecting it to be. We had a huge party at the hotel and I was working. And by working I mean putzing around, ogling at all the funny and ridiculous costumes. (I dressed up as a cowgirl by the way. I think I did this just so I could bust out that denim mini one more time before retiring it for life. Wellll, maybe I'll keep it locked up in my costume box. Ya just never know really now, do you!!) Anyhoo with approximately 1400 people, I did get the chance to witness some interesting get-ups. I saw Jesus, Lady Gaga, Betty Crocker, breathalyzers, Eva Longoria & Tony Parker, sheiks, Samantha Ronson, and many many more. And there was some guy there dressed up as a teletubby. Seriously, are you 12 dude? I have to say it was extremely fun being sober and watching people get completely ridic!

I left work around midnight and met up with some peeps over at Ambassador. This bar is located in the Tenderloin area which is like the crack (and no, I'm not talking about the good ole Irish kinda craic either!)neighborhood. There are actually quite a lot of good bars/restaurants in the Tenderloin. (PS- I'm not sure who decided to name it the Tenderloin??? but that's kind of an atrocious name for a neighborhood!) So I get to this bar and by this point, its pretty sweaty and smelly all around. We go to the bar to order a drink and after being peer-pressured into getting a mixed drink rather than a beer (I'm much more a beer/wine kinda gal!) I ordered a Malibu rum and pineapple (Reason #67 Why I am a Weirdo! - why can't I just be normal and order a gin & tonic???) So I think the bartender must've been crushing on me just a lil based on the qunituple pour he gave me, thanks Chuck Norris! And no, this is not one of those times where I randomly give people nicknames... dude was dressed like Chuck Norris for Halloween. He was really funny looking though and I couldn't quit staring at him. It may have been the lighting too. So we take our drinks and make our way downstairs where we were enveloped like s'mores by total douchies. Seriously, this one guy was wearing dumbo ears... and that's my cue to go home!!!

Welp, another Halloween down in the books anyway! I'm guessing I probably only have about 2 more of these holidays left in me to celebrate the adult way. After that, I'm gonna start handing candy to all the adorable lil trick-or-treaters! I hope I don't eat all of the Snickers first!!! :-)
