I took Carla Guzman to my former office (the SDC) on this Halloween day. The costumes that I saw were rather shocking. Carla makes me laugh. Carla and I ate at MAX's DINER and shared our afternoon break together. She's pretty fun. I learned that her husband died in a car accident. She has a four year old daughter named Priscilla. I am so glad I have met her. It's as if we knew each other long ago. She is so unpredictable and vivacious. We talked about some of the fat, ugly looking folks in the cafeteria. It wasn't very nice but she made me laugh. We shared candy bars. Work is the BEST…mostly because of 'Carla'.

I went to Mark Landreth's house on this evening dressed in my diaper that I created with some white sheets. To see me putting it on was a joke in itself. Colleen and Monica were at Mark's house when I arrived. They left and I learned that these two girls are thinking of moving-in with Mark.

Mark and I drove out to Foster City for the Halloween Party. It was fun seeing the costume of several people dressed as 'Raising going through the Grapevine'. My baby get-up was a hit. After the party, Mark and I stopped at the Black Angus in San Lorenzo to see what was going on there. Renee (a friend of Mark's) accompanied us. It was fun.

I went to Mark's house. We were having such a great time. Mark was cracking up. I filled my baby bottle prop with water and drank it as I drove home. One of my favorite songs by The Human League was playing, called "HUMAN".  I love that one.
