ABC - Carving Pumpkins

Not my photo.

This isn't exactly what I plan to do, but it's so cute!!! I think I'm going to do something similar for the library with old book pages!

For at home, I'm just going to use a plain orange and uncovered pumpkin, but with the cute black mask.

ABC - Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This is my son, Ben's favorite recipe for pumpkin pie. Simple, quick and delish! Just click on the link. The highlight might not show too well - click on the words "recipe for pumpkin pie" and you will go to the link.

ABC - First Hauntings

Way back before we had children, some friends of ours, my hubby and I all went to the "Brandon's Haunted Woods". This was back before safety inspections and politically correctedness.  Meaning - it was a lot more fun back in the day! LOL Anyway, it was great scary fun. The exhibits were amazing! 

A real car wreck - with a mannequin... or so you thought. The mannequin was a real person that would jump at you when you leaned in real close to look at the AMAZING details in the car wreck.  However, he didn't jump at everyone....

The photo above I haven't seen in person, but I'm willing to bet that the head in the pic is the dummy head for the daytime photo. I'd bet a chunk of change that the head at night is attached to a real live human and screams at you when you get too close!

There was a man all in black following us. Sometimes I'd see him, but in the darkness of night, he could just blend in to his hiding places and not be seen when he didn't want you to. So, SUDDENLY, there he'd be again, up close and personal breathing, literally, down your neck!

It was all great fun. That guy in all black followed me out to the parking area - deep into a corn field....

There is one more time that I want to mention - it's a first for me, so I think it fits this post. We've always "known" that our library is haunted, but one night I filmed a sound byte and got a real flippin' EVP!! I even got one that said, "Hello Tyra" it totally freaked me out and I haven't really done anything since - even though I've been asked...

ABC - Scary Movie Memories

The Challenge posed is: "What is the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?"

Because I have already written a post on the most scary movie I have ever seen, and cannot possibly improve upon that post, I will give you the link for that, here.

It's an incredible story and swear to you it is ALL TRUE!!!  

Who needs movies when you've lived the life I have?!!

I Have Off Tomorrow...

...so that I can prepare for my colonoscopy on Thursday morning. In other words, I took a vacation day so that I can stay home and poop! LOL  I'm going to try and enjoy my time off - Wed., Thurs. and Friday. I'm going to watch movies - or the SAME movie all three days and just lay around and relax.

I'm not going to do anything!  Well... anything but poop on Wednesday night - be prodded on Thursday morning - sleep it all off Thursday evening - and watch movies all day Friday.  I go back to being a working lady on Saturday. Then I have off on Sunday and I'm not going to do much then either, with the exception of laundry.

It will be a busy and crazy work schedule these next few weeks. A co-worker had an unexpected death in her immediate family; another is expecting a baby any second now and the rest of us are being supportive helping anyway we can.

ABC - Halloween Costume

We are quite the group at our public library after hours!!!

ABC - Halloween

When I was 6 years old, I went Trick or Treating in Berkeley, California.  My cousins, Aunties and I went around Lola Mom's neighborhood. What made it so memorable was the fact that it was DARK outside!  Back in Wisconsin, we had only gone Trick or Treating during the afternoon, so the darkness was special.

Another memorable time was when neighborhood kids wrapped up rocks and handed them out - "I got a rock."
