Weekend Shenanigans!

Friday night we went down to a Halloween party in Redmond. TJ does a party this time of year and he wound up combining it with another party, so there were boatloads of people there.

For the sake of all involved I will not post pix and comments except to say, epic beer pong.

I repeatedly politely turned down beer, drinks, etc. and only nibbled the veggie tray Leslie smartly brought along - in fact that thing got demolished!

Next day, I started out with 2 miles on the treadmill at home, then we went over to Leslie and Parul's to chill out.  While over there I took another short walk with Parul up to the store to grab some yogurt and stuff, and then had a steak and some grilled zucchini for lunch.  For dinner we had what you see in the pic here, and nice beef roast from Safeway, and a honey chipotle marinated chicken, as well as a side salad.  The chicken was a foster farms package from Costco and Leslie thinks they won't be carrying it much longer... so naturally, the need to figure out our own recipe has arisen. That's two I have in the bank now, I still need to lean tandoori chicken tikka. Oh snaps.. good cooking ahead. :D

We rounded out the evening by carving pumpkins:



Jason's Pinhead pumpkin


Dawn's epic 3 wolves pumpkin



Leslie's Bat Cat pumpkin
 
 
My screamy guy pumpkin

Later that night we played with the Kinect - which is a lot of fun. Jason played Gunstringer, a game where you control a marionette cowboy and blow the hell out of stuff. Dawn played with Kinectimals where she had a pet panther (She named it Mephistopheles).  Finally, we played Kinect Sports Season 2 - which had events like football, baseball, skiing, etc.  It was a pretty good mini workout running in place, etc. 110+ calories burned just playing a couple of events, haha.

And now today.. just sitting here writing Ze Blog, over at their place again. Did another 2 miles on the treadmill this morning, and the weight loss continues on schedule, as you shall see tomorrow when I check in I hope.

One last pic, 'cos I can't resist.

Happy Halloween, kiddies!
