*Cough* /dusts off the spiderwebs...

Yeah okay...so I've been a bit busy for like a year and a half. ;) I look at this and at myspace and feel nothing but guilt for not making the time to update things. Sorry for being such a major slacker.



The Cliff Notes version of updates:

3/2007 started quilting (don't laugh or I'll beat you)
4/2007 realized that fabric is expensive and decided to get a job
5/2007 Marc & I decided that the dogs needed a yard so we bought a house
6/2007 threw our first party
7/2007 threw another party
8/2007 threw a mini party with Heidi <3
9/2007 got a new manager at work :(
10/2007 began bitching about new manager at work
11/2007 had my parents over for a 5 day Thanksgiving celebration / work on the house weekend
12/2007 Daddy was killed in an automobile accident
1/2007 Helped Momma get her world back together
2/2007 started looking for another job
3/2007 found not 1 but 2 wonderful places to work and I'm having trouble figuring out what to do

Okay that brings you up to date! :D I miss my Daddy. Big time. Today especially, because I want to call him and have him tell me what to do. LOL I am great at handing out advice to other people but I suck at coming to decisions regarding myself. Marc is awesome as always (he's so much like his Mom). The dogs aren't much help other than to let me know they don't care where I work as long as I can bring them treats home.

It seems like this is the best place to go soul-searching. Okay not really, but it beats the heck out of talking to myself. I have the chance to work for a non-profit agency, doing good in the world, be on salary, but not making the big bucks, and working one on one with another person. The flip side is working in a private enterprise with an office full of women that I genuinely adore, making really good money, but with minimal benefits, hourly pay, and again let me state, with a group of people that I seem to have a blast with. Both are equal distance from home (roughly 3 or 4 miles). I was positive the decision would be easy. It's turned into a tug of war between my head and my heart. Anyway - just wanted to put an update up. I guess I need to go over to mywastedspace and do the same so people don't think I've joined a cult or become antisocial or whatever. \m/

Goblins, Ghosts and Witches, oh my!


My favorite time of the year is upon us!! Candy, ghosts, scaring little kids...what could be better? Here are some SPOOKtacular links to get you in the Halloween spirit (get it? spirit? mwuhahaha I'm so punny today).

Frightbytes - Ghost stories, e-cards, fun and interactive site
Bluelips - The best place on the net to find the fright gift for people with morbid minds!
Adopt a Demon - Adopt your very own demon - warning - they are NOT house broken!!
Bedlam Asylum - Want to commit your ex? Sick of your co-worker? Have them commited to Bedlam Asylum where their motto is, "Spare the (electro) rod, spoil the Lunatic"!
Spells-R-Us - Someone put a hex on you? You need a little extra magic in your life? Go here to find the spell you need, just remember the three-fold rule - whatever you do comes back on you x 3 - so watch where you point that wand! ;)
FBI's Most Wanted - now - if you want something to truly be afraid of, go to this link.

I was thinking of which movies I'd like to watch to up my scare factor. I went to imdb and found their list of the top horror movies. I disagree with a lot of the "tops" on the list. Alien and The Shining were for sure scary...but where was Audition? What about Blair Witch Project? Now clearly BWP is no good after the first viewing, but if you didn't read spoilers before seeing it, it left you trembling! The Exorcist still scares too much to watch alone. And then there are the creep factor movies like A Clockwork Orange and 28 Days Later? Let's not forget the slasher classics Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, and the list goes on. For me though, the scariest thing ever put on film comes from The Wizard of Oz. Nothing makes me flinch and run like flying monkeys!!!

Oh Noes! Mr. T is back!


Some of my friends were being nostalgic and the Mr. T Power Hour came up in their discussion. I am sure they will be delighted to find out the following tidbit:

SERIES DEBUT
10-10:30PM I Pity the Fool (TV Land, TV-G) What exactly does Mr. T do in this new reality show? ''I'm just teaching fools some basic rules,'' he explains in the debut. ''And there's no shortage of fools who need my help.'' Roughly translated, that means he's aiding people that require his...um, unique services. Tonight, the A-Team star tries to pump up a bunch of car salespeople, stuffing himself into a trunk and spouting out lots of questionable motivational banter including the proclamation that ''You can't spell success without T.'' Roughly translated, that means...absolutely nothing. B- - Dalton Ross (c/p from TV Watch at ew.com)

And don't forget to watch this Mr. T classic rap about M-O-T-H-E-R!
