jorge

want to know what's awesome?...

getting a halloween gift!

what, you've never gotten one?

neither had i...until this past weekend.

i know i say it a lot...

but my husband is pretty damn fantastic.

he bought me an r/c zombie as a halloween gift.

it is ridiculous how much i love this zombie.

i've named him jorge.

(as in hor-hay)

i only went with the spanish version 

because i already have a zombie bunny named george.

why george, you ask?

george romero, of course.

the down side to jorge?

munki does not like him...at all.

munki LOVES all sorts of monsters & monster movies...

the one thing she cannot tolerate is zombies...they terrify her.

and since jorge is not only a zombie...

but a walking, groaning, moaning zombie...well...

it makes my heart sad.

because while i love all things monster-y...

zombies have been my favorite since i was a kid...

and saw night of the living dead.

i think this is the one thing that she and i don't love together.

(well, except the color pink)

anyway...

hope y'all had a lovely halloween.

xox.

beggars' night

i preface this with...

i love my husband and i love our home...

but for the life of me, i will never understand ohio.

halloween is october 31st.

that is when one should go trick or treating.

i understand parties & whatnot being on other nights...

but trick or treating?

really?

beggar's night

this is what happens here in ohio.

matt said he did it as a kid.

nobody ever went trick or treating on halloween.

what?

trick or treating wasn't this past weekend...

it wasn't friday night...

for our county, it was thursday october 25th...

from 5-7 pm.

so, not only was it on another night...

it has special hours.

(different counties, cities, towns have different nights or hours)

and people take it very seriously.

with a lot of houses, people sit out in their driveways 

in chairs with bowl of candy...
(others leave porch lights on)

waiting for trick or treaters.

at 7pm, said people pack up their bowls of candy

and go inside.

seriously.

i guess if this is how you've always done things, 

it seems the normal thing to do.

i have lived a lot of places (a LOT)

& not once did we ever trick or treat 

on any night other than halloween.

anyway...

munki wanted to dress up as draculaura from monster high...

so she did.

and she was cute and we had fun...

hope you have a happy halloween!

xox.

bat for lashes - what's a girl to do

every year...

about this time...

i listen to this song more than usual.

not because of the lyrics,

which could be construed as rather depressing...

but mostly because it's all halloween-y.

and the video is awesome.

i love bat for lashes.

i think natasha khan has an amazing voice.

anyway...watch the video...it's pretty damn great.

xox.
