I spent most of my day working at the Smoke Shop today. Besides dealing with a few people that would be better off in a psyche ward, my day went relatively well. Fridays are always "truck days," which just means that we get all of our product delivered on Fridays. Truck days generally go by pretty fast because there is always something to keep me busy, pricing, stocking product, helping customers.

I don't think I have much planned for the rest of the evening. Kody and I are going to go outside and finish carving the pumpkins we bought a few days ago. After that, we will probably play some video games, and then lay down in bed, where I have to try to convince Kody somehow, every night, that my boobs are not his play things.

Tomorrow, then, Kody's mother, Karrie, and I are planning to go up town and partake in some of the amazing chili soups that are going to be served in the annual "Chili Cook-Off" festival. It happens every October. The basic premise of this "festival" is that tons of clubs, businesses, and people all compete in this cook-off to see who can stir up the best pot of chili soup. Most are amazing, some are not, and some are so hot that you can't get off the toilet for a week. It's all great fun!

My best friend, Andrea, who sadly lives in a different city, is planning to make a trip to see me tomorrow as well. I think, perhaps, I may go and spend the night with she, our friend Joanne, and Andrea's three-year-old son, Caden. Other than that, I don't think I have much planned for the weekend or ever the rest of the month until Halloween.

My brother, Mitchell, and I are planning to get together with a few friends and take part in what's called a "Zombie Walk." Most people have heard of these, some haven't. For those who haven't, a Zombie Walk is an event in which about a kajillion people do their best to dress-up as zombies and then walk all over the city in which the Walk is talking place. The point is to scare people, see who can dress up the best, and raise money for whichever local charity the Walk is supporting that year. I've actually got a pretty cool costume this year. I will be sure to snap some pictures and post them here for all to see. Of course, that's not for another few weeks, but it's something to look forward to!

Until next time-
