Proof....

That candy corn is evil.

Now there is picture proof.

I really think it is the most disgusting candy. Could have been made last week, could have been made in 1916 - either way it will taste the same.

Yuck.

Happy Halloween!

I do enjoy Halloween - it is one of the few times that everyone can experiment to be something or someone different.


Plus, it is the one day a year I can dress like a blood covered zombie at work.

My company goes all out for Halloween so it is a damn near useless day, but allows everyone to blow off some steam. Tonight when the manfolk gets done working it is time for some adult cider and my traditional viewing of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Aaaaahhh the little things.

Have a spook-tacular day!

It's different on the big screen

We've discovered an old theater in our town that shows some of the all time great movies each Friday. We've been able to see Indiana Jones (the manfolk wore his hat), Jaws (for the fourth of July weekend) and a couple of others. We recently bought tickets to see Ghostbusters.

They just released their winter lineup --- CHRISTMAS MOVIES!

YEAH YEAH YEAH!

The power of touch

I'm not a touchy feely person. At all. Growing up I was always so much taller than everyone I thought that hugs were awkward.

The manfolk is sick. Like can't be five feet from the toilet without being in danger of destroying the carpet sick (sorry honey, but it's true). So we have been trying our best to keep a 3' distance from each other and he is hosing the house down with Lysol after he touches anything.

We normally cuddle every night. Never thought much of it, just know that it's my favorite part of the day. I've been without cuddles and kisses for three nights and it has affected me. I was laying awake last night and realized just how much having someone in your life to touch impacts how you feel. It's amazing. I've always considered myself not very touchy (even my co-workers know I'm not a hugger and I work for a huggy company) so it was an odd revelation.

Anyway, I miss touching very much and hope he gets better soon.



And I miss the sex too. Difficult to go from every other day to not at all, but that's not the point of this post.

This speaks to me


I may develop my Team strategy at work around it for 2012

I get it...

Porn

I understand why people watch it. I have been known to enjoy some from time to time.

Just not girl on girl stuff. Doesn't do anything for me.

Season of giving...

We've been busy with charity this month. After a long summer of ridiculous heat it seems like all of our favorite charities decided to wait until October to host events.

Our softball team (that had previously won won game in two seasons) played in a charity tournament for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We have a leukemia survivor on our Team and it is a great cause. We went in to the double elimination tournament thinking we'd be done before noon. Ended up making it to the semifinals and were relieved (and extremely beat up) when we finally got eliminated.

The following weekend we did a walk for Alzheimer's. It was only a mile and zipped right by - very heart wrenching to see the people who have been affected by it and heart warming to see those that are fighting for a cure.

This weekend was our yearly 5K walk for mental illness - we still didn't end up walking the complete 5K but it wasn't our fault this year. Last year the organizers gave our Team a map and asked us to lead the walk - it didn't go well, there was an area under construction and we chose a different route - ended up leading everyone astray. This year they had people stationed to show us where to go and we still ended up at only around a mile. At least it was for a good cause.

September Resolution Update

September resolution update:

I painted for the first time. A real painting. They have places around here where you can bring your own bottle of wine and they have a person who leads you through how to paint a particular scene on a real canvas.

Saw Indiana Jones: Last Crusade on the big screen.

Hectic month with not much to show for it.

Sorry...

I've been slacking.

I know it and I'm working on it.

Life has been busy, but that's not really an excuse.
