For Halloween, my office building had a pumpkin carving contest. At the last minute (like 10PM the night before), I decided to enter. They provided the pumpkin and carving kit which was super nice. This is actually my second attempt as my first was a gigantic failure. I drew the sketch freehand based on a photo on Google and then used that sketch as a stencil. Then, Husband couldn't tell what it was so I highlighted the sweater and dog ears in black marker. Just for kicks, I painted it all. The next morning, I added the zig zag. Transferring to work was the most difficult part. The pumpkin was still wet and fragile. So, I held it in my hands and got a little yellow all over everything. It's kid paint so it's all water soluble and will come out, but it was still messy.
Anyway, it was all worth it! I came in third. I came in after a patriotic, Washington DC pumpkin and Bernie Sanders. Despite your politics, Bernie was carved beautifully. I would have voted for that for first. I was happy with third. For my big win, I got a trophy which is kind of awesome and Wizards/Magic basketball tickets for next weekend with parking pass. I'm less excited about that, but we may actually go because why not?I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage. Charles De Secondat (1689 - 1755)
