I decided to be Meredith from Grey's Anatomy for Halloween. I decided this for several reasons. First, I love that show unnaturally. Second, this is an easy and cheap costume, just buy some scrubs and I already own lacy black panties -- and scrubs will make good pajama pants. Third, I can identify with Meredith: she is in love with an asshole, even though she knows she shouldn't be. And you know how I love assholes.

The first party I went to, most people just thought I was a generic doctor. The one person who got the GA thing asked where my Mr. McDreamy was. I thought: "Woman, it is Doctor McDreamy." I said, "Well, he is certainly not at this party."

Before I went to Saturday night's party, I went to the hockey game. During one of the TV timeouts, the gameday entertainment staff (or whoever) aired video of all the players saying what they were going to be for Halloween. (I love this kind of thing. Take that, Dave Chase.) Most of the players said, "Uh, my wife usually takes care of that stuff." So Cam Ward's wife gets on there and says, "He's going to be Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy." (This is probably better than Ray Whitney's wife: "He's going to be Steve Yzerman." Hee!) Anyway, I turned to Kevin (who already knew what I was going to say) and said, "Oh, that's perfect, Cam Ward is my McDreamy." Kevin pointed out that, you know, Cam Ward is married, but this just fits with the whole story, since McDreamy was married until two episodes ago, and anyway, Cam Ward's wife can be Addison.

My McDreamy was not at the second party, either.

I had a dream about NSG last night. I think I dreamed about him because the Hurricanes played the Tampa Bay Lightning, and I met NSG for the first time in Tampa. And I went to the wrong hotel, because he had given me the wrong directions, and I didn't have a cell phone then, so finally I called him from a pay phone and he said, "You're at the wrong hotel. I knew you would do that. The guy at the front desk gave me the wrong directions. I already yelled at him. Anyway, come to this other hotel. You'll have to valet it because the Lightning are playing at home tonight, and you won't find parking."
