43 Days until Halloween

I’m back.  Here it is 10:30 at night and I have finally finished my witch boots.  It only took me 8 and a half hours today to sew them.  Just 8 and a half hours!!  I must be the slowest hand stitcher alive.  I really miss my sewing machine.  Oh well.  I guess I could have finished a lot sooner if I hadn’t been distracted by Charmed or by the Oreos I kept shoving in my mouth.  Yumm Oreos…  You know what’s better than Oreos?  Double Stuff Oreos!  But, can I get Double Stuff Oreos in Korean?  NOOOOO!!

I woke up today at 12:45.  I love sleep!  Woke hubby up at one o’ clock.

Me:  Get me pizza!

Hubby:  Let me go wash and get dressed.

Hubby:  Maybe I should cut my hair?

Me:  Noooo!

Hubby:  But I look like a hobo.

Me:  You are hobo chic.

Now yes I love my husband and I love his long hair, but I am also quite devious and cannot let him cut it because….

He looks like Johnny Depp.  I am not joking.  When we went to America for Christmas last year, at two different times while we were in Wal-Mart (YEAH Wal-Mart, I miss you!) people came up to him asking him if he were in fact Johnny Depp.  Now this just made my day, because

1)  I like Johnny Depp,

2) I like it that my hubby is that hot

AND 3) I like it that my hubby doesn’t like Johnny Depp and he hates it when people say he looks like him.

I am even taking it so far as to make him a fedora to wear in America so that there is an even greater chance for mistaken identities.  Does that make me an evil wife?

 

While I work on my crafts, my hubby usually paints.  Today he tried to talk to me about his painting.  Our conversation went a little like this:

Hubby:  I don’t want to paint a tree.  A tree is cheesy.

Me:  When does the Halloween event end at Dunkin’ Donuts?

Hubby:  What?  How did you jump there?

Me:  ….

Hubby:  Are you even listening to me?

This is usually how are conversations go.  My hubby talking about important stuff, and me just constantly thinking about Halloween or food.  At that particular moment I was thinking about both because I really wanted a caramel coco from Dunkin’ Donuts.  That’s the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted.  And how could I not be consumed with Dunkin’ Donuts?  It is the only place in Korea that is acknowledging Halloween.

Before getting to the Halloween picture for today, I just wanted to show you a picture that pretty much sums up who my hubby and I are.  (My Hubby drew this of course)

So here we are; my Hobo chic Johnny Depp look -a -like artist hubby who loves coffee and likes philosophy.  And me a chocolate milkshake lover, with a big bear bag, a crochet purse and a strong obsession with cupcakes.

 

Gimme cupcake please?

 

Yep that pretty much sums us up.

 

Without further ado, here are my witch boots.

I call this my witch wall.

 

Now my hubby edited this picture, so you can not really tell but the socks are supposed to be yellow and purple.  I’ll have to post a picture of just the boots some other time to show you a close up of my handy work.

44 Days until Halloween + Shame

I watched a few episodes of Charmed last night, with my headphones of course.  I don’t want to annoy my hubby.  Around 2am I began to get really sleepy so I went to bed and my hubby went to take a shower.  He had paint everywhere, even on his forehead.  Oh the messy life of an artist.

I must have fallen asleep quickly because the next second I was semi awake after I heard my hubby return from his shower and knock over a partially full Pepsi can.

“Oh no, so much for my headphones!” said Zombie Mandoo in the snippiest voice I could manage.  How was I going to watch Charmed now?!

Then as I heard the boiler was still running I said, “The boiler is still on!”  Again with the snippy voice.

When there was no answer, and as the fog cleared from my brain, it dawned on me that I could still hear the shower running.  I turned and looked to see the short dark from of my mother-in-law.  Oh NO!  I had just been snooty to my mother-in-law!  Horrified, I quickly pulled the covers over my head and feigned sleep.

I don’t know what’s worse, accidentally being snooty to her or accidently holding her arm and rubbing it fondly because I was sick and thought it was my hubby checking my forehead for a fever.  Uh, why am I always embarrassing myself in front of her?

So on with the crafts!  I started working on some witch boots.  It is slow going and makes me long from my sewing machine.  They should be completely finished by tomorrow, so look for a picture then.

That’s all.  Gotta finish tutoring, then it’s sewing witch boots and watching Charmed time!

P.S.  My headphones are fine and Pepsi free.  ^^
