Seriously, Jim? Yes, my husband strong-armed me into matching Halloween costumes for our whole family. What are they you ask? STAR TREK! I think I better get the "Best Wife in the Universe" award for this one. Jim is Captain Kirk, I am a girl with a red short uniform (I don't know if I have a name or not) and Finn is Spock, complete with the pointy ears and everything. What do I get out of it? I get to pick any costume I want next year, regardless if it is a "couples costume" or not. What I do for love!! Pictures to follow for SURE!
I have wanted my own sewing machine for...well, ever since I moved out of my mom's house probably. I sewed in high school and like the feeling of accomplishment when you make or fix something. So a while ago, my mom found me an in-table sewing machine at an auction she was at for CHEAP. It is heavy and we didn't know if it worked, so as you can imagine, Jim was crabby about finding a spot for it in our house and it has been sitting there ever since. Well, my mom was visiting yesterday and she showed me how to use it (it is the same brand as hers, so she knew all the tricks) and I even sewed the waist band of Finn's pants! (she hemmed a pair of Jim's pants, so he should be happy now!). Guess what the first thing Jim asked me to make for him? A holder for his phaser for his Star Trek costume. Need I say more? Anyway, it feels good to know how to use it. Hopefully it will get used now and not just collect dust.
Jim and I were able to go for drinks to Tony Jaros last night with Ryan and Leah. My mom stayed home to "watch" Finn, even though he was already in bed sleeping. It was nice to go out and we always have a good time with them. But I said I couldn't drink very much and three purplies later, I'm not feeling so well this morning! One is my limit people. Oh, well.
What a beautiful day for a Wedding Celebration Party! Sunny and supposed to be in the upper 40's (hey, it's MN in Oct, we'll take what we can get!).

OH, I love it!!!! Knew from the title on the blog today exactly where this entry (stardate 10172009) was going! Finn is Spock!! The ever so smart and unemotional Spock - Stacy, you must ask Jim exactly who you are - maybe one of the scientists Kirk fell for or chief of communication - or doctor - I look forward to seeing your choice of costumes next year - pay back is always fun! Have lots of fun! Love to all, Lynn
