Well today started out pretty god damn shitty.
First off i made the first carved pumpkin i have made since i was 4. Back then my dad was holding the knife in my hand to help cut the eye triangles. I made a fucking awesome skull. Actually i made two pumpkins but the laughing skull was my pride. It took my 2 hours total work the other one took my 3 hours but it was a lot bigger and thicker and thuse harder to cut.
So now that we have that out of the way...
We got 2 hours of sleep last night woke up at 8, got in our costumes and went to the campgrounds with my boyfriends family. I did everything to make them ahve a good time and got bitched at nonstop. First the sisters were upset we didn't win the pumpkin carving contest (I guess the super unoriginal simple pumpkins were better then the ones that took hours to carve. To give you an idea im sure you've all seen the picture of the puking pumpkin? someon remade that and it won for 'originality') and the sisters were upset about not winning.
Then there was the scavenger hunt. By now im starting to get tired. I sent the boyfriend to go pick up some of the stuff we needed from the market (it's not cheating i promise) while we found most of the stuff around the families camp trailer. He called and said he couldn't find the prunes we needed (for the scavenger hunt duh) and his grandmother bitched at me for not going with him to help. In a good natured way i guess but still it was annoying. And then on top of that every time one of them found something on the list around the house the entire 12 people in teh trailer would scream. Not just cheer but fucking scream in excitement. We didn't win the sccavender hunt but we did get all out stuff. Just not first.
So by now we have several hours to the next thing and im passed out in the car. The day caught up with me. And of course everyone had to come bang on the window for my attention. And then his little brother pitched a fit because we wanted to go home. So instead we stuck around and my boyfriend went on a hayride with his little brother.
So finally they're back and it's time to leave and im ready to go home and put my pumpkin, my pride and joy in the window. We got to get the pumpkin... and his little sister has ripped the skull off the pumpkin so now it's just a big gaping hole.
I cried a lot. It was like the one time i had made a real pumpkin since my parents were divorced and she ripped it appart. She was 14 not 3 she knew better.
But we went to the bowling alley and i guess we're going to the actual party there in a little while so im feeling a lot happier. If only for a little while i'll get to show off my cute little red riding hood costume.

I'm sorry your day didn't go as well as it could have. You still rock, lady.

Ouch...not a good time. But you still look incredible in the little red riding hood costume!
