Halloween Festivities

After last night's unexciting and generally boring Duke Law Halloween Party (which, sadly, is labeled "The Best Duke Law Party of the Year), we are headed out tonight to Chapel Hill, which is apparently one of the best Halloween experiences this side of New Orleans/Transylvania University.

"They" expect that 75,000 people will descend on Chapel Hill tonight. For those of you who have been there, you know how amazing that is given the size of Franklin St. Sarah has to go for work, she's dressing up as Rosie the Riveter and handing out condoms and info about the EC line. I'm not dressing up, but I think they are going to tape condoms to me. I hope the condoms are still in the wrappers. I'd better go check on that...

Maggie Update

Maggie has gained about 2-3 pounds since we got her three weeks ago. The vet says that she will double in size from 4 to 6 months, so we're guessing that she will be about 15-20 pounds.

She's growing really fast, and we're trying to break her of her puppy habits, though largely unsuccessfully. She still likes to nip at hands and feet, which terrifies children at the park. She also likes to chew the ends of shoelaces until the plastic part is no more. Recently she learned that she could jump off of the couch, which has ruined one of our techniques for keeping tabs on her when we're in the kitchen, etc. Does anybody have a baby-gate they don't need anymore???
