There’s a new Outlaw in town…..

October 31, 2011 by DanicasDaily 15 Comments

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! So, the BIG QUESTION of the day…..What costume did I decide to wear to the Big Halloween Celebration at work.  I have to admit I sorta liked keeping you all in suspense and I appreciate all the fantastic ideas you shared.  If I didn’t have to worry about sitting down I definitely think I would’ve been a Giant White Starbuck’s Cup a Hot Air Balloon or something fun like that.

Instead, I “rebelled” and was an “Outlaw” ~ Complete with my boots, hat, orange guns & holster with matching hair ties and orange bandana (ok, that was the girl in me that needed to match!)

Something tells me though, I need to work on my “Outlaw” pose because I am pretty sure they don’t go around smiling all cheesy like this LOL.

Halloween-2011

Before rushing out the door this morning, I grabbed 3 Mini Lemon Cranberry Muffins and a banana to go with my coffee (3 points+).

Do you all remember me telling you that my office REALLY gets into Halloween?! I really had NO IDEA how much they love it, but, it was one FANTASTIC DAY complete with a “Float” competition.

The Float Winner!

I am pretty sure like 80% of our company dresses up for Halloween just so they can participate in the Costume Contest.

The “judge” panel sits at the head of the board room.

While everyone goes around snapping pictures of all the fun costumes…..

IMG_8147IMG_8143

The Toon Town Crew had the BEST signs!

Gumby cracked me up because Pokey was by his side all day long Open-mouthed smile

IMG_8165IMG_8164IMG_8225IMG_8227

I LOVE her Mini Me!

IMG_8233

THE WINNER ~ ANY GUESSES??? He was an iCloud (I know Tracey will LOVE that!)

IMG_8239

What costume contest is complete without a parade?! Yup, we all totally walked around the conference room parading our costumes Open-mouthed smile

IMG_8232

Our M.C. for the day….

IMG_8169

Part 2 of our celebration was just AWESOME ~ seriously, I think I might just have the best co-workers around. 

Our Board of Directors put on a skit every year….This years theme was a spin on the TV Show “To Tell The Truth”……

The Judges were the 7 Dwarves aka our Board of Directors!

IMG_8191

They questioned the 3 Snow Whites to find the “REAL” snow white…..notice anything funny about the middle snow white?!

IMG_8187IMG_8190

My FAVORITE question of the day ~ What is your favorite apple?

Snow White #2 (Middle) said, a red apple

Snow White #1 (right) pulled out her Iphone

Snow White #3 (left) said, well, everyone loves the IPAD!

IMG_8193

The “real” snow white ended up being #2 and she won a kiss with her Prince who proceeded to drop her on the floor Open-mouthed smile

IMG_8189

Skit #2 was just as awesome ~ Family Feud!

IMG_8203

It was the Good Girls ~ Snow White, Snookie, Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood

IMG_8204

Vs The Bad Boys ~ The Wolf, Gangster Guy, Darth Vader and I am not sure what the guy with the little dog is….

IMG_8205

Their game show was hilarious……I had a hard time deciding between recording it all and taking pictures LOL…..

IMG_8210

The fun didn’t end there ~ we had a HUGE potluck too.

IMG_8241

I made my 5 points+ Pumpkin Bars to share with everyone.

IMG_8244

I made mistake #1 when I went to build my plate ~ I was STARVING! I actually started off by being good and making a small salad with Italian (3 points+)

IMG_8252

Believe it or not, I didn’t even sample everything we had…….

3 BBQ Meatballs & 1 Potato Pocket (6 points)

IMG_8254

Homemade Tamales!  I had 1/2 a chili cheese and 1/2 a chicken (8 points+)

IMG_8255

I also had a couple of nachos, a potsticker and a little enchilada casserole.  It was all totally worth busting into my WPA for ~ it happens once a year! I added another 8 points+ for good measure.

IMG_8259

Dessert involved a small 1/2 slice of my Pumpkin Bars (3 points+)

IMG_8260

Plus this homemade caramel wafer cookie….YUM!

IMG_8261

I was actually planning on having fruit or salad or nothing for dinner but when I drove up I was greeted by Hulk Hogan’s BBQ Sauce.

IMG_8265

The Husband actually surprised me by not only getting into costume, but, by cooking dinner too!

IMG_8270

Meet Hulk Hogan ~ he played the Hulk a few years back and I have to say, he still does a pretty fantastic imitation!

IMG_8267

The BBQ sauce is his “sponsor” Winking smile

IMG_8269

Chhhheeeeesssseeee!

IMG_8272

I started with a small salad topped with 1/2 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette (2 points+)

IMG_8274

Followed up by a 1 oz BBQ Rib and 1/2 a cup of creamy mac n cheese (4 points+)

IMG_8278

After dinner we hung out with our pumpkin and scarecrow family on the porch and handed out candy to all the kiddos.  Today honestly goes down in my book as one of the BEST work days I’ve ever had ~ my co-worker’s and husband are AWESOME!

Q’s

Did you celebrate Halloween this year?  If so, I totally want to know what you did and more importantly, what you dressed up as?

Back on track tomorrow before the Foodbuzz Festival this weekend! If any of you are going, let me now because I definitely want to meet you!

Night all!

    Well, Friday night I went to a “Day of the Dead” party which inspired me to go in full makeup (see my facebook pics!) and then yesterday (actual Halloween day/night) I taught 3 Zumba classes and dressed out in orange Zumba cargo pants, black top, multi-colored dreadlocks & fantastic orange shades I got in Morocco. We did a few “special” Halloween numbers (Thriller & Monster Mash) and a couple of “party songs” not usually in the lineup – both by LMFAO (Party Rock Anthem & Sexy and I Know It). It was a riot and we had a blast. Thanks for all you do Danica…. I’m so glad I found you!!!
