Happy Halloween!

Every now and then my artistic skills prove themselves useful in other, non-work related, areas of my life.  For example, I'm pretty dang good at decorating Christmas cookies, I can paint walls and trim in my house without using any painter's tape, and if there's ever a game of Pictionary going on- you're going to want to be on my team. 

Then there's Halloween, one of my favorite times to break out a paintbrush, outside of work.  Take for instance...

Halloween 2005
Robert actually let me paint his entire face, and we hadn't even been dating that long.

He did that to his hair all on his own. The man likes Halloween.

Halloween 2007
I used some black paint and a pair of scissors to turn an old pink dress I had into a "HOT" pink crayon costume.

That cool cat with me is my BFF, Kelleigh.

Halloween 2009
Nothing like a painted pumpkin to snazzy up your tailgate.

Smaller the pumpkin, the BETTER if you're going to have to hike it across campus!

and finally this year...

Halloween 2012
White paint, black clothes, and Robert's degree in biology helped me accomplish this...

Sorry Robert, it's not completely anatomically correct. Whatevs, close enough!
We were going to two Halloween parties Saturday night and before we left Robert pulled out his phone to snap some pics. 

Robert:  "Look like a skeleton."

Me:  "um???"

I make an awkward pose, and Robert snaps a picture.

Apparently it's true what they say, black is very slimming. Swear that baby is MUCH bigger in person.
Robert:  "Sorry, Rusty wouldn't get out of your picture."

Me:  "That's OK."

We switch places and I take the phone.

Me:  "Ok, now you look like a Rock Star."

He poses.  I snap the picture... 
Picture
The tattoo is real, actually. The hair, not so much.
and then I laugh... and laugh... and laugh some more. 

Wow. 

Just, well um... WOW.
