As promised, I am back to review the month of October. The 1st of the month rang in Andy & my 15th wedding anniversary. Here we are 15 years ago the night before the wedding, just two "horny"kids in love! I think my dress was abit short because I think I see panties, opps
So for our anniversary we went with a group of friends on a wine tour of Seneca Lake. We dropped the cars off @ the Hotel Clarence in Seneca Falls where a limo picked us up and tooled us around. It was great fun and one of the few beautiful fall days we had. here we all are at Knapp. We ended up back @ The Clarence where we had a spectacular dinner and then an overnight. Comfy beds! Good times. thank you my dear friends

So then came the areola/nipple tattoos. That's right, he tattooed right over the nipple. sounds painful right? and you are probably cringing at the thought of it, but remember, I don't have much feeling there, or so I thought.... So some Docs can do this procedure in their office, but my insurance company requires it to be done in a surgery center. So I was back @ Home tonight Surgery Center @ Community Hospital. It was me, a nurse, and Dr. Gil. Andy opted out for quiet time in the waiting lounge, always makes for a good time!
So, Dr. Gil said he was going to give me some Lidocaine into the area of the tattoo, he said I may or may not feel the injection, lucky me, my nerves decided to regenerate just in time for the 6 injections of lidocaine and at that point, I too was cringing! Once it took affect, I couldn't feel anything again and the tattooing began. We were watching CNN on TV as he was working and there was a car chase in progress. every time I would say something about what was going on with the chase Dr. Gil tried to look and see, which I readily put a stop too because if there was ever a time that it was important to stay within the lines, this was it. I don't need any areolas with tattoo slippage! Easy peasy, in and out in 1 hour. post op instructions: keep em moist! Dr. Gil's advice to do that, ointment covered by saran wrap, sounds sexy, doesn't it and it was !
No picture for this, sorry, but if your a girl, go look at yours and if you're a man, go look at your lady, cause they look just like real areola!
So, immediately after the procedure Andy & I head to Otter Creek for a weekend with 6 other families, the kids rode up earlier in the day with the neighbors. Picture nice rainy, fall day driving to a place in the middle of the Adirondack Park you have never been to and you will get a sense of the fun Andy & I had on the ride up. We finally made it after only one detour/lost moment.
What a great weekend we had @ Otter Creek. It was an 8000 sq. ft. house, on a lake, with trees and nature all around. 14 kids, 14 adults and everyone just kidda did their own thing. Big family style meals, canoeing, hiking, drinking, bon fires, more drinking, games, dancing, pumpkin carving, more drinking. Thank goodness it was a fully stocked kitchen with an industrial sized saran wrap. every morning I came down for some fresh wrap to apply to the bossoms! Here is a picture of all of us that weekend. Thank you my dear, drunk friends for including us.I also like this picture of Andy, Ruby, & I. Rex was out in the canoe with the girls, being the only boyscout there with canoe experience, he was in heaven.

So, then we had to start planning for Halloween, we had a costume party to go to. I think we like Halloween more than the kids, but it is a special time for us, we got engaged on Halloween. Of course as I typed that I said, I should post a picture of that costume, so here it is. Now the thing about this costume is this, we made it ourselves the day of the party, I wasn't happy about this, I am a planner who likes things done ahead of time, so I wasn't a very nice person during the making of it, Andy almost didn't go through with the proposal cause I was such a b#!#@@ that day, when we were at the party, if I wasn't with Andy & folding my arms around him, everyone thought I was a butterfly, it's hard to kneel down to propose in a foam hot dog suit. Just a few things to consider if you wanted to duplicate the event.


So, I digress, back to this year, I decided to be Lady Gaga long agao before it was the hottest thing to be this year and I had the costume done 2 weeks ago to prove it. Andy usually like to "go along" with what I am doing, but after the CNY article labelled him the Michaelangelo of Skaneateles, how could he be anything but that. Here is our interpretation of those ideas. The thing about this costume, lace itches and presses against you eys and nose making it very hard to see and breath, hats off to Lady Gaga for pushing through that, I had to cut holes in my lace.
Well, there may be more, but I have spent way too much time on this today and I have to make it look like I was busy doing things around the house before Andy gets home. Happy November!
