The 13 days of halloween and then some

There is nothing like watching a good horror movie at 11:01 am...Yes you can roll your eyes at me but i love halloween and all the spooky movies that come out around this grand time of year. Halloween at my house is like the movie A nightmare before christmas and if i could get away with it i would keep my decorations up year round but i love Christmas just as much so i do put the Halloween away at some point.
I was feeling good enough yesterday to get dressed and attempt to make my hubby some cookies but something along the way went wrong and what was soposed to be my mothers recipe turned out to look more like melted ghost turds than cookies...I have so much better luck with the pre-made kind and think i will just stick to that instead..LOL
My hubby being the strange being that he is decided that they were ok although he has yet to eat them and i think even my cats would not eat them and after giving me a hug and making me laugh about it he decided to take me over to Michales to pick out some 50% spookytown and pick up his pinhead costume..i have never seen a grown man get so excited about a costume but he did and i swear he would have worn it to bed if i had let him.
This morning was spent downloading my Spookytown photos and watching movies...Due to water damage at work i do not have to go to work until three and although my check is going to be really small i am glad i had a few days off to rest and ejoy the birds that come to the feeders that i have outside my windows. I really should be doing something more proactive but sitting around like a lump feels pretty good right now...Maybe i will even dig out some video games and give them a try...Now for some food and that horror movie....

Not a happy camper

Why is it that i get sick on a three day weekend? It started after my hubby and i went to the local haunted farm which was fun but not quite as fun as when we took our friends and their child a few weeks ago..we did get a good laugh out of a man playing pinhead who stalked a group of girls and a guy all the way though and then out to their car.
When we got home though i was feeling pretty bad and by the next morning wanted someone to shoot me. I hate head colds but on a weekend it seemed all the more worse than a normal head cold. What makes me cranky is that weekends are for housework and genral cleaning but i was so sick i could not get off the couch but hubby ended up pitching in and at least the cats had a clean cat box and a load of laundry got done. If i feel better today i might try to do some picking up but right now a shower is all i think i can manage.

Proluge

How many times have i started a blog and not known what to say about myself? I was born grew up and will die someday, the end. But there is so much more to my story that those simple words. I am a thirty five year old midwesterner with quite a few exstended family of friends co-workers, accqaintences, five cats and one very suportive husband.

My insperation with this blog came from my often humorus and very warm brother in law who i think i will refer to in this blog as Mr D and his wife, My sister Mrs D. In fact i have stolen his catch frase for the title of this blog...Thanks Mr. D..
I used to think i had the perfect life but life never really goes the way you want it to or think it should and so i will leave my past behind sort of and just go with the simple stuff of everyday life for a midwest girl who loves horror and the general insanity that is my life at this time.
I live in a fairishly large town and work at a local fast food restraunt. My husband who grew up here works for a large harness building company as a desk jocky...I know i know...but i love to say that and it never fails to bring a smile to my face although i think he might tell you otherwise. Anyway...we live in a small apartment with five very active cats and some pretty wacky neibors.

A normal week for us is getting up at five and going to work then comming home to have supper or go out to eat and watch some tv before going to bed...Seprately at the moment since the real kings of the castle refuse to let us sleep together...a situation that we are desprately tring to fix...so far baby gates and fencing have not worked to keep us safe. Although we did get a good laugh out of our siamese getting himself trapped between the baby gate and the fencing.
Weekends are for Cleaning the house and spending quality time with the Hubby and going out to the local dive bar to see our friends and a handful of the good bands that sometimes play there.

there is alot going on in my life and although i sometimes feel a bit crazed i think i have found myself in a good place and know that i will enjoy sharing my thoughts and stories with you. And now it is time to get a second cup of coffee and finish the rather dumb movie hubby is watching before heading over to the in laws.

Do i love my life? Maybe just a little...
