Mason once told me that he wants to be a police officer when he grows up. He also said that when he is, he won't give me any tickets. Thanks Officer Rudy, you're the best.
And this is Milo handing out treats. Actually, he was yelling at everyone he could see and telling them to come get treats from him. Then at one point he came in and said, "Well, Halloween is over".
Mason decided to try mixing costumes.
Advertising may be described as the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it.

This quote just happened to show up on my random quote app in google. Perfect timing. And I, for one, am very happy to be jumping into that world of advertising! Cross my fingers that at 12:01 am I can get into all the classes I need, then I can de-stress a wee bit. Probably won't happen, but it's always nice to wish.
So, today my boys were in the car competing on who can write a better letter "m."
I decided it's probably a good thing they are spaced far apart enough in school that they will never be able to play high school sports together.
I am excited to announce that I was officially accepted into the Advertising program at school. I know it wasn't the most intense application process, but to me the fact that being denied would ruin my whole future plans for life made it a little bit of a stress.
I was so worried in fact that I didn't even pick up my letter until after class, thinking that if the letter was bad news I wouldn't be able to concentrate in class at all.
Then as class was over and I started walking to the building to get my letter all I could think of was: I wish I had someone who would pick up my letter for me, read it and tell me what it says.
Well, obviously that wasn't a possibility - so I went and picked it up. Opening the envelope right away but only opening the letter enough to read the first line. As if the potential bad news was going to jump out and bite me and I needed to be able to close it up and put it away quickly to avoid it. Yes, I'm a little strange I realize.
Anyway. Luckily it was totally awesome news and I instead began wishing I had someone to scream and jump up and down with me on the spot.
So there you have it. Once step down. Next week I have a meeting in which I'm sure I'll be learning a little more about what the program entails and exactly how long it'll take me to complete. And because I love punishment and stress, I'll be going through a second application process after next semester to be admitted into the emphasis I desire.
And one day, I'll be done and when that comes I'll do the "look back and appreciate" thing.
But for now I'll just be excited for the steps I've made and prepare myself for the steps to come!
I regularly read PostSecret. Today I was a little upset by the fact that there were no postcards posted, but in lieu he posted a video so I decided to watch. One of the postcards featured in the video said this...
"If I die, would there be anything you wished you would have said to me?"
It made me think about everyone in my life asking me this question and would I respond no or yes to them. And I decided that I don't want to have to answer yes to anyone. Maybe a little dramatic and cheesy, but it's true. Oh no. Have I become dramatic and cheesy? I must need a people watching sesh or something to help me back into some dry sarcasm...
Ok, enough wasting time when I should be studying.
And, fyi, I decided I still got it. Random and vague I know, but it has been on my mind and I decided announcing it will make it a blog memory. haha.
And please make it say: You are accepted!
This picture has absolutely no relevance to anything. I just liked it.
