When the Husband's away, the monsters will play

Little girl speak:
Monsters tried to eat me last night.
It was a close call.
Ripley, my dog, growled and scared them away though.

Reality:
My husband is out of town. I was sleeping soundly until Ripley started growling when she heard a nondescript noise, and suddenly it felt like I was 6 yrs old again and monsters were trying to get me.

But when you are an adult woman the monsters are burglers instead of green goblins.
I actually panicked and froze on the bed for several minutes deciding whether or not to attempt to get out of bed and turn on the light. (The Ostrich Effect- thinking they can't get you unless they can see you.) I did the whole jump directly from the bed move to switch on the light. But the only thing waiting for me was Ripley, the little turkey, looking at me from the doorway with the head tilt like I've gone crazy. *sigh*

I used to sleep better alone!
Damn 7 years of marriage!

Spooky setting

I decorated for Halloween today, which was difficult because all our decor is in storage. But I had a lantern, a black blanket ;) and some cheesecloth around the house. Add a 4 dollar set of pumpkins from Walmart today and I'm pretty set.
Need to put in a scary movie!
Love October.

You are the Fall

Some people are like the Spring,
Bursting with vitality of what the world will bring.
But not you, you are the Fall,
The quiet cooling, the evening’s call.
The rustling leaves, the sunset’s final ray.
The calm after the storm is your way.



I love this time of year.

They're BACK.....

We haven't posted in a while....

So not only are we back, but its October, so Zombie Audrey is back also.

I love this time of year. The highs are in the 70s and the lows are in the 40s, and my favorite holiday is just around the corner.
No, not Christmas, HALLOWEEN.


I love that every movie channel plays scary movies all month, the theaters are full of them too. American Horror Story starts again, one of the few TV series' I like, and DEXTER is on Showtime. I'm in Heaven.*sigh*


This month should be fun.
I'm hosting a Halloween party at our Company lakehouse the weekend before Halloween, and I'm also hosting Jen's baby shower on the 17th.


Yes, Jen has a person growing in her!

(not just a foot, but a whole baby...I just really like the photo of the tootsies)


Its time to dust off my Halloween mix CD.

Gummy Massacre = Good Day

Lot of things are unclear, not good communication between project managers, drafters, and bill of materials.
But it’s all good, I need to remember it’s just a job.

Yeah. But that’s hard sometimes.
That communication stuff happens all the time.

They are just so cute…

I am the red bear, torn into pieces, and you are the green bear, trying to fix me?
Making me tear up now..

I think the green bear is actually eating the red bear.
Haha
It’s a bear massacre.
A gummy cannibal.

Good deal.
I’m humane though. I always eat their little heads off first.
So it’s over quickly and there is no pain.

That’s good to know. Because that’s how I would prefer to go. Maybe knock me unconscious first as well if you could.

Valentines Day is coming up

Hell Yes

Girls Night!
Jen, J-Ray, Grayson, and I are headed to this concert at the BOK in June.
Presale was today, and we managed to score 4 floor tickets.
I'm excited.

Beware Tulsa. All of us in the same location at once is pretty dangerous.
