Costume

I'm curious about the attire you are choosing for this event. Are you dressing like a vampire?

As it turns out no, but vampire was definitely where I was headed when I walked into the Halloween Store down on Delaware Ave. But once inside, I realized I could go in a different direction: gangster.

I just got home from the store, and I'm wearing my gangster outfit. I bought the $5 fedora seperately. But most importantly, I bought spats!

Oh, and I also bought white paint for my face so I can be a zombie gangster, or ghost gangster, or something. Anyway, that's the plan!

Party Plans for Halloween

I just bought my tickets for Dracula's Ball on Halloween.

Good News Concerning My Bar Results

At about noon today the bar results were released, and I believe the first words from my mouth were "Thank You Lord." I did indeed pass the Pennsylvania Bar. I am not yet a lawyer, but I will be one very soon.

You can look me up here.

So a great worry is now lifted from me.

Let me again thank all of the people who have wished me well. I appreciated all your kind words and thoughts.

And now I'm to bed in a few minutes so put in another day of work tomorrow.

So it's tomorrow, eh?

The PA Bar Results are coming out tomorrow, October 11, 2006. Not Friday, as had been orginally scheduled. Which means that everyone else at work who'd also taken the bar were paranoid that the release could happen even earlier...like today. So far, that hasn't happened.

If I don't pass I'll be annoyed about the expense and hassle of taking it again in February, disappointed certainly, but it's not a big deal: if I don't pass, I'll take it again and probably will pass.

Still, I reckon I may be a bit distracted at work tomorrow waiting for the results. Hopefully I'll manage.

For now I'm just nervous.

Replacement Lavender

Today I finally received my box of lavender plants from burpee. These plants are to replace the plant stolen earlier in the summer. But this time, I've filled a large green pot, the identical twin to the pot now holding the okra, with six lavender plants.

Lavender is a perennial, and so the idea is to let the plant affix its roots now, in the waning days of the growing season, so that come spring it will be able to take full advantage of the summer.

While I was outside I also watered everything, and noted that, while they are not blooming, the nasturtiums do look like they may put out some blooms before the month is done.
