Halloween Fun at Work

The Erkle twins – they won first prize together… they work in my office.

Clint and I made a good pair for the day J

Cleopatra is my Bosses boss, then me, then Erin our admin and then Harry – my boss.  Fun times!

Denise was Raggedy Anne and won 2nd (well deserved!)  I don’t even think I showed in the running finance wise *($1 per vote)… but it was fun to participate!

Zombie Run

Zombie Run show time = 9:30
Shuttle into the sight get makeup:


This is pre blood


Note the HUGE blood area around this gal. It's HUGE!! Blood splatter!!


After blood and it's clottie. Urp!!


Full body shot!



Love them!


This is my new bluddy (Hahahaha). We hung out the first 1/2 hour or so on the course the. She moved further in.


There is a drone just below the roof line of the right building. Cool little buzzing thing!


Here they are gathering it to take to the next area.


Zombie passing through.


My cohort in crime for quite a but of the day!


Helicopters were coming in and out all day. Some military. Some civilian. It sure added to the realism!!


More zombies.


Braaaassiiiiiinnnnnnnssss...oh wait, I mean "flaaaaaggggssss". This is about 1/5 if the flags I managed to nab!


Looking towards the entrance into our courtyard and towards the heliport area. They kept flying in and out of there. Guess it's their practice roof.


Co-workers Marie and Alan stopped for a photo-op after the alley I was in ;)


Then the kids came through, they "lost" Jasmine in the first 1/3 of the race.


Cohort eating the kids ;)


Everything I would lean on the wall I would leave a clot or a smear - ewh!

I lasted from 10:00 to 1:00 before giving up and going in search of the subway! I became a tourist zombie ;)


The flooded part of town! Cars and swing sets were all in place. Unsure if the buildings had stuff inside as I wasn't willing to get wet to see.


The bottom car would be submerged in a full reservoir. Cool rescue training area!


Around the corner and I to the "tunnel" training area.


There are Zombies in there!!


Really foggy in spots!!


Back outside and I ran into some beauty queens. ;)


And into the subway!!
I had to leave the 5k area to actually go INTO the trains.....








I had to go into the 10k area to walk through the inside of the subway trains however it was so worth it. VERY creepy and dark!!


I did holler at the resident zombies or NOT scare me as I was simply a tourist and not a runner. They were nice and didn't scare me. Good thing too cause I woulda pee'd!! Yikes!!!


Note the PILE of cups by the water station. Yikes!! So this is about 1/2 way down a LONG building and I asked for a short cut to the finish line. I was told to cut out any side door and walk around the outside.


I walked into the field just to the right of the second clump of bushes.....I didn't note how far I had to go!!!


I'm just 1/2 way there!!! I was the lone zombie in the field from the 2nd (or was it third) year of The Walking Dead. Seriously. I had a limp by this time due to a sore foot and knee...I was a mess!! People when they finally noticed me were freaking :) It was awesome!!


Note the people waiting to get in the roof. Realism! Actually just helicopter rides, but so cool!!





The collapsed building we weren't able to go through...


The rest of the crew!


Me and my "kids" for the day!


Had to laugh at the bodily fluid kit in the front!

We went to lunch/dinner at Zaxsbys (yes, I was in full makeup still). A few knew what was going on. Most just did a discrete double take and stared. Ha!

Then home and into the "decontamination chamber" Aka the shower. I scrubbed and scrubbed while in there and...


I was still infected!!!!


So a few makeup remover sheets and a layer or two of skin and I only have a few freckles that really aren't mine. I can live with that.


The aftermath.... That stuff soaked through everything including shoes. I still have a red toe and a red splotch on my leg as I simply didn't care by that point! Yep, "blood" in my bra, undies and socks. Kinda funny!!

And we're home :)




We have started driving home a new route. What you can read in this sign is this is a tomato farm. I know, I didn't think about them either!


There are rows and rows of tomatoes. None are ripe at this point however since they are being sprayed, I'm thinking there are some green ones on the vines!


We also got to see peanuts being harvested
We were trucking along as normal until we got to I-75, then huge traffic jam :( we took it as an opportunity to take a detour. ;)


We saw cotton being harvested and baled, peanuts being harvested and SUNFLOWERS!!


How pretty are they??!


I also got a chance to pull over so Angela could see peanut plants up close and personal.





They are weird plants, aren't they?
