BOO!! Did I scare you??

Hey!

Happy HALLOWEEN… on Wednesday!! Maybe some people will go out trick or treating. I hope everyone dresses up and has a good time. I know that little kids are coming from the neighborhood are coming to our dorms and trick or treating, they will be so cute in their costumes. Also with their little baskets that they put their candy in gets more creative every year.

Our floor in Fitz is having a door-decorating contest and the last day in Halloween, my roommate and I have yet to start decorating but I’m sure we will get around to it. Some decorations are up already around the floor and they look pretty good; we will have to see what happens.

My mom is getting a new puppy and I said that I would put up pictures when I got some so here is Boug. He is a little boy Boston terrier and she will be bringing him home in two weeks.

Isn’t he so cute!

It was nice to get a change of weather here in Columbus; the rain was nice and fun to watch. I felt like I was home in Washington again.

GUITAR HERO 3 came out on Sunday! What an even, I know that if you are an avid fan you have already gotten it and beaten it in less that 24 hours.

Thanksgiving is coming and its in 23 days!!

Softball conditioning has started and is in full swing! Its rough but in the end it will pay off. I start rehab on my knee on Monday so hopefully I will be back in no time!

Here are some interesting fun facts about Halloween:

Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.

Jack o’ lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.

Pumpkins also come in white, blue and green. Great for unique monster carvings!

 Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes.

Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America.

The ancient Celts thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside on Halloween night. They began wearing masks and costumes to avoid being recognized as human.

Halloween candy sales average about 2 billion dollars annually in the United States.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!!

Washington!
