More Random Questions: Halloween Edition

I am going to have to check out this Sunday Social thing! (If I can ever get Tigger off the computer)  What great questions!

Halloween Edition

1.) What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?

Apparently it was a store-bought "Wile E. Coyote" costume, because I wore it from the time I could walk until it was too small. Then I got a C3PO costume. Since I was 7 when Star Wars came out, I know I was around 7 the year I wore that. I don't recall any others, but I was fondly thinking of a homemade throw-together costume I had when I was 12 (yes....when you have a little brother, you trick-or-treat far longer than you should). I was a princess. I wore my favorite velour bathrobe, a gold sheet and a tinfoil crown. My brother was a cowboy that year. All I remember is him pitching a fit. I think it took 20 minutes for them to come up with something for him to wear. 


2.) If you could go back and dress up as something, what would it be?

Lady Gaga...in the egg

Seriously

3.) Favorite costume as an adult?

Ooooo....that's tough! From my teens/20's I have a kickin' witch/vampira outfit and an equally impressive flaming demoness outfit, with the standup collar. And there's always the Playboy bunny outfit I made from an old majorette uniform.
Now that I'm fat, it will have to be Maleficent, because it covers everything

4.) Favorite Halloween candy?

Call me weird, but I LOVE the orange and black wrapped peanut butter kisses. You can ONLY get those at Halloween, kinda like Cadbury eggs.

5.) Favorite Halloween memory?

I guess it would have to be the year I was 12, because it's a fond memory...well, aside from my brother's little tantrum.

Which actually, I remember being really funny...

6.) What’s your favorite scary movie?

Horror movies are more Darling Hubby's thing, but I did grow up in the perfect era for scary movies. Special effects were getting better and better, so every one that I saw (and believe you me, there wasn't one that I missed) were great. It's between the "Friday the 13th" franchise or the original "Nightmare on Elm Street."  Of course, I did grow up with a brother named Jason and an uncle named Fred...

But the movie that scared the bejeessus out of me, I'm told is actually not really all that scary, neither the original that made such a mark on my existence, or the recent remake.  It was a 1973 thriller called "Don't Be Afraid of The Dark." I remember watching it and being terrified of the floor furnace until we moved to the Leeds house.  I will also never forget the cold chill that ran up my spine last year when I watched the trailer for the remake and all that old fear came flooding back.

That's what a scary movie is all about.

Well, that is all the time I have today.

More Getting to Know Me

A blog friend answered these questions on her blog yesterday. Since it lends to knowing me, your OP, I figured that I may as well give this a shot too.


1.) What do you value most in life?

This is an easy one: my family. And while they all roll their eyes, or do stupid crap to irritate me, they are my most valuable posession.

2.) What do you think is the greatest invention in your lifetime and why?

I'm going to have to say it is the internet, with Facebook being a close second. Knowledge at your fingertips, what can be better than that? Well, maybe getting a friend request from the hot lifeguard you met on a Florida beach back when you were a hot lifeguard yourself and finding out he had remembered your name all these years.


3.) What do you think is the secret to a good life?

Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. Wait, let me say that again. STOP TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES!! Work for what you have, be happy with what you've got, owe no one.

4.) What would you most like to be remembered for when you’re gone?

For always being forgiving and giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, even those who hurt me.
And being a kick-ass baton twirler.

5.) What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of?

Raising my children to be productive citizens, with solid Christian values, a strong sense of self and a good work ethic.  Sound like a  pageant answer? Well, it was. And I still mean it.

6.) If a movie was made about your life, who would you want to play you?

Oh that's easy too: Emma Stone.

We May Lose...But We Will Look Good Doing It!

Okay, I hate "bathroom pictures" and I know that someone will make a crack about the lovely trash can in the background, but I had to share this "tiger wear."  This is the latest in my Football Fabulous wardrobe.

Just because Auburn is loosing (currently 1-5) doesn't mean we can't look good doing it!

It is probably the most expensive thing in it, but I wanted something more dressy than your regular fanwear (i.e. T-Shirt)

While it's really "busy" and it really pushes me out of my comfort zone, I'm getting lots of compliments on it.

The boots, on the other hand, are really putting stress on my broken toe, so I'm gonna have to ditch them soon. I thought that surely there has been enough time go by that it should be healed enough to wear a heel. And while I have it taped securely to it's "buddy," and swaddled in a cushy sock, it appears that my foot is swelling. Since I may not get them back on, I thought I'd better take a picture now.

Whomever said "fashion is pain" must have had a broken toe too.

24 Hours: God's Plan for the Day

Someone told me once that God had planned a day out in 24 hour increments for a reason.

Eight Hours to Work; Eight Hours to Play; and Eight Hours to Sleep.

That made a lot of sense to me. Unfortunatley, it's not happening in MY day.

  I'm working more like Twelve Hours, I'm too tired to Play and well, my Sleep is suffering.

When did my life get so hectic? How do I get back on proper balance?

Something is going to have to change soon.
