So are we all thinking, where did October go? Or is it just me? I know the older I get the more I keep thinking, where has the time gone? I also am in this weird holding pattern...like I KNOW it's November but my brain is trying to skip it completely. Like it's either September or December. No in-between...the story of my life.

I will say though, that October was such a wonderful month for the split second I mentally can place myself back into it, that I look back at it with glowing smiles and fond memories. And for definitely sure the last two weeks-ish have taken the cake. With weddings and makeup shows kicking it all off and then ending with houseguests, 21st birthdays, Halloween, and the concert that changed my life Rufus Wainwright.
I don't even know where to begin...
This month I made a pact with myself and a friend that we would spend more time with the people we love and not travel as much. I'm not sure if I completely cut down on craziness but I do know that I spent more time at home. Which was wonderful, considering I hadn't spent more then a couple days in my apartment since I would say about June. Needless to say it was nice to put away the suitcase for awhile. I actually got things done at my place!! Like moving furniture, setting up a makeup station for filming, and doing things like putting up curtains! Almost 2 years here and I hadn't changed a thing since I moved in. It was wonderful and made me want to have houseguests FINALLY.

And houseguests I had!! My lovely friend Tami came to stay with me, it was the most wonderful way to break in my "new" place. We toured around Tacoma and most nights/days had long conversations involving wonderful libations hahaha then the finale was taking our other younger great friend Julia out for her 21st birthday. Can I say we had so much fun?! Though I will side note: Thug bar on a Monday night at 1:30am sober in Capitol Hill = no good...nooooo good, but you gotta learn I guess, right?
After everyone left, I then got to go to one of the top concerts of my life, and most of you know, I've been to a ridiculous amount of concerts, so saying this means it's serious. My lovely friend Gini got tickets to see Rufus Wainwright at the Pantages theater. The crowd was small and the concert so intimate. His sister Lucy Wainwright Roche opened for him, and you guys as soon as she opened her mouth I was hooked. My jaw dropped! Then Rufus came on, and I swooned with his dynamic voice and literally sat there in awe listening to his songs.

It was beautiful how his songs show everything he's thinking and feeling. Now, I've been listening to the two of them non-stop...mooning over their voices and lyrics, I have a feeling I will be listening to them through the winter that's how obsessed I've become. If you want to check them out my favorites are: Call Your Girlfriend (Robyn Cover) from Lucy and this week for Rufus its Montauk and also Martha (it changes weekly though).

Halloween came in with a bang the next day, I was excited, but tired. This year most of the family chose to dress up in themed Alice in Wonderland costumes. I was of course, the White Rabbit, as I had just made the costume for a party I went to/did some work at earlier this fall. My older sister was the Queen of Hearts, her kids (besides my nephew who went as Batman) were The Mad Hatter, The White Queen, and Baby White Rabbit *adorable*! My brother's daughter went as Alice, which was just again, can I say adorable anymore in one paragraph?! We had a blast! I even convinced my mom to let me do her makeup, she went as a Raven so we did a really cool mask in makeup. Lol it was fun to spend time with my entire family, both of my brother's came, my aunt as well. We put on the Monster Mash, did the Time Warp, and Trick-or-Treated around my childhood neighborhood.

Who knew Halloween would be the holiday that brought us all together in full force? Lol I surely did not, but I'm insanely grateful that it did!!!
So yea, that was the craziness, I sit here typing it and still can't believe that that all happened in 2 weeks. Life has returned to normal for the most part, putting my apartment back together, drinking tea and getting back to a normal schedule. Starting to get excited for the holidays but mostly just enjoying the normalcy for a bit hahaha who'd have thought?
How is everyone else's fall going? Do you feel crazy busy? Looking forward to the Holidays?
Alrighty, have a wonderful Tuesday glammies!!
XO
