Rainy days and Saturday's...

Yesterday we woke up to the weather being cold and raining. I LOVED it! It was time to turn on the fireplace and warm up my hot cider. My sister and nephews are here for the weekend and we had intentions to go to the pumpkin patch and have some good ol' fashion fun but the wet kept us from our plans and we had to come up with Plan B.

We went to a costume store in Westminster that looked like a castle. It was huge and yet it was incredibly crowded. It seems that everyone had the same idea as we did regarding Halloween and rain. As you walked into the store they have an impressive display of gory (plastic) dead bodies and zombies. Surprisingly enough none of the kids were afraid of these monsters. I wasn't sure if it was because they understood they weren't real or if I have been watching too many horror movies in front of them and they were all now desensitized. We made our way to the back of the store where all of the costumes were. That was also where all of the crowed was. We inched our way through the many isles of costumes on display. Some were funny, some were scary and some were just down right stupid...like the condom wrapper. Why would you want to be a condom wrapper? Whatever. My sister will be accompanying me and my wonderful and supportive husband to the fun and fantastical fair of the Witches Ball and needed some proper attire. After a growling hour and half and several hundred dollars later we finally left and headed out to Isis to attain our tickets for the Ball.

At Isis, of course, we purchased several items other then the tickets and then headed out to Toxic Hell (aka Taco Bell). For a mere $24 you can feed a family of seven. Then came the wallet kicker. We went to IKEA again. I have to stop going there. I love that store and it loves it when I walk out of there stooped over in shame and bogged down with hundred of dollars of furniture and other assorted nix-knacks that I could have probably lived without.

It was very late when we headed home and I lulled myself to sleep with the smell of freshly put together furniture and clean linen. Note to self for the future...rainy days and Saturdays don't get me down they make me broke. : )

Until next time...

Inspiration and help

I have been writing my book and am getting to that point where I need a little inspiration. So I started watching Hauntings on the History channel and saw some unsettling points of view. I am a firm believer in ghosts and I am saddened and angered by those who do not believe. Not everyone HAS to believe what I think or what other people think about ghosts but have some respect for their opinion. Don't just call them crazy or say that they don't think they know what they saw. I was so disturbed I changed the channel and started watching Medium. So after a good solid hour I felt better and got the inspiration I needed. I started writing again. Then I realized what direction my writing went and had to laugh. Since its snowing out I knew I was going to need a lot more input to put my mind in the right frame of mind so I sought the help of my Wii. I spent an hour killing zombies in my Resident Evil game and started writing again. As a writer trying to become known this is the horr...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
