It's Spooky Season!

I haven't really gotten into Halloween for a long time. I don't know why, but that seems to have changed. I am craving a little scary stuff....and I love that there are scary movies on all this month.

I could have a Halloween Party! But, it's a little late.

(and why does my house have to be so small?)

Lately it seems there is cool spooky stuff everywhere. I am going to have a party one of these days, and I just couldn't resist these little treasures...in preparation of the "Spooky Someday Party' How about these great salad tongs?? From Target, only $9!

They make pretty good back scratchers too. LOL

Here's another wierd item I couldn't pass up. I thought it could be 'creepy-fied' pretty easily. I started...but it isn't done. $5 at an estate sale. LOL

I think at some point I will have to have a party, even if it is a smallish one. :0)

Do you feel like I do?

I had to repost this from one of my favorite blogs, "A Gift Wrapped Life "

She just got back from Paris too and had this to say;

"My body clock is all wacked out but I am home. I walked in the door, hit the shower and hit the pillow with wet hair and that is all I remember about last night. I have totally given in to this 1st day of jet lag, been back to bed twice before 3:00pm. "

OH MAN do I know how she feels.

(and I bet she didn't miss HER flight home like I did.)

Three days in Paris just doesn't cut it. I vow that I will spend at LEAST a week, if not more from now on. Switzerland was charming, but too expensive. London was also fun, but for my money, Paris and Venice were far and beyond the best.

I already miss the coffee and the croissants..it's cruel to leave Paris, LOL.

at long last....

Off I go to Europe!
(well, barring any natural disaters anyway)
Packing is always a hard thing, as I'd like to take this much stuff:

So I will do my best to pare down 3 weeks worth of junk into a carry on and a duffle. I always get really nervous before a trip, but once I step onto the plane, all the anxiety turns into excitement. I cannot wait to get there and start experiencing everything.

What a great idea! I love this...maybe something to try in my closet?

Dreamy Etsy Front Page...

I though this was a beautiful selection of items and had to save it.
:0)

in love....

Meet Andy.

We met years ago,..... in a Tommy Bahama store. I was shopping, and he was in the window. And on the posters in the store. It was love at first sight.

I'm so in love. I know...it's a high school thing to admit it, but is there a more gorgeous man on the planet? I think not.
I follow all the seasons with Tommy Bahama, just because of Andy here.
Recently they phased Andy out, and moved on to another, younger male model....but he will never be THIS guy.


Please Lord, just a few hours with him??? PLEASE?

LOL

No place like home...

Back from Chicago ..but I could have been anywhere, it looked so generic!

One night, the Boss announced that we were going to take the subway to dinner, to a place OVER an hour away.

hmmmmm. Maybe not such a good idea, considering that Chicago is calling in the National Guard to help get the MURDER rate down to a manageable level?????


(someone care to define "manageable"?)


"So far this year, 113 people have been killed — matching the death toll of U.S. troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan during the same period. "

Um, I'll take a pass on that subway ride Boss.


Why would anyone want to live there is beyond me. They say it's a great food town, but I had horrible meals the entire stay.

Anyway, the good news is - our European trip is still ON. Flying out on Sept. 11th....LOL...
but at least we are going!
