...even though it's already well into winter in northern New Mexico. It got cold really fast here. Yesterday I almost froze. It actually snowed (Las Cruces style, meaning a few flurries for about 3 minutes), and scarves, gloves and hats were necessary, although I left to school dressed unprepared because I definitely did not expect it to be suddenly so cold.
I decided not to go home this weekend for Halloween, for a few reasons. First, I have this great big paper I need to be working on, and I know I won't work on it at home even if I tell myself I will. Second, I'll be home in 3 weeks for Thanksgiving anyway, so if I have made it this long, I can surely make it 3 more weeks. Third, I'm rather sick of the drive between here and there. I am getting a bit homesick though, as I haven't been home since August 1st, when I left for Costa Rica. This is the longest I have ever been away from it. So I hope these next three weeks will go by fast, then I will be there for over a week, then only two weeks after that, a whole month or so for Christmas. I love autumn and winter in Los Alamos; these two seasons are, in my opinion, the most feel-good, heart-warming, and romantic times of the year, no doubt. All the coziness and the two best holidays ever, and being with family.
Since I won't be home this weekend, my friend and I are planning a very small Halloween party. It will be pretty laid-back, we're not even dressing up. The past two years dressing up has been a waste because I don't have enough connections to find somewhere to wear my costume, or did not hear of any fun events. It will just be about 5 to 7 people eating and playing games and watching a movie.
I don't think I have anything funny or witty to write about today, so I'll leave you here. Have a great Halloween weekend!

Did you have any sudden cravings for chicken soft tacos and beef tacos and hot cider? I did...
