I hope you have a "spooktacular" Halloween!

Be safe and have fun friends ;)

Thriller

Who thinks about Halloween, and doesn't have

the song Thriller running through their brain?

Here's a little 80's throwback for you to enjoy.

Skip to 4:40 if you just want to listen to the song.

Halloween Adult Beverages

Are you attending any Halloween parties this year?

Maybe you're throwing one.

Here are a couple idea for clever Halloween adult beverages.

I attached their links below each picture.

How cool is this drink?

It totally looks like blood that you inject

into your drink with a syringe.

Of course it's not, but what a cool creepy idea.

Via

 

Candy corn jello shots are the best.

I actually had these last year at my

coworkers Halloween party

and I couldn't stop drinking/eating them.

Highly recommend if you like sweet beverages.

I included this picture because I thought it

looked really cool.  Very pretty and witch like.

It may end up tasting terrible, but man does it look pretty.

That's all that matters, right?

Via

 

This drink is awesome.

I had no idea that they sold black hard liquor.

Very Halloween looking.

Via

 

 I loved the presentation of this drink.

The Hand coming out of the glass.

The steam, the skull on the front of the glass.

Apparently you put dry ice in this drink,

but I personally would not do that.

What if somebody knocked back a few

and then drank one with the active dry ice?

I would leave the dry ice out,

and keep the glass and the stir stick.

 

So, did you like any of the drink ideas?

Would you try them?

Do you have any go to Halloween

adult beverages you would like to share?

 

 

What Happens When Todd and I Go Shopping Together

You can't let Todd and I loose on the town together.
We can't control ourselves.
We are like two 12 year old children,
and not well behaved ones at that.



I like this pirates booty!

 

Boy I'm nosy!

 

No words...just bask in the awesomeness! 

 

Todd, stop clowning around, we have errands to run.

 

I'm beary glad you stopped by to read my blog today.

 

Admit it, you want to go shopping with us now.

 

If you were wondering,

all mask and costumes are from Target.

Day In My Life

I wanted to change things up a bit,

so I decided to show y'all what a day

in my life looks like.

Not that it's super exciting, but I always

find post like this interesting, so I

thought I would share.

 

If this isn't your thing, feel free to catch

up on the next blog post.

 

 

Saturday, October 17th

 

7:30 AM - Wake up and take a shower so that

I can prepare to go into town and run some errands.

 

 

Dressed and ready to go.

Casual attire of Croc flats, skinny jeans and nice shirt

that my mother-in-law bought me for my birthday.

 

9:00 AM - Leave the house and get to the Post Office

before 10 AM to pick up packages

 (My PO is only open 8 AM - 10 AM on Saturdays).

 

On my way to the post office by 8:58 AM -

Yeah me!

 

9:30 AM - Stop at Goodwill to drop off donations.

Also, shop inside their store

 for an hour only to purchase nothing.

 

Our local Goodwill Store

 

10:30 AM - Stop at Target and get something to eat

and drink before I pass out. 

 

Yummmers!  It's a Pumpkin Spice Latte

in an adorable cup.  I just love the Fall!

 

I purchased 3 t-shirts, and will be returning 2 of them.

I was too lazy to try the shirts on,

so 2 of the longer ones ($12/ea) I really wanted to fit are

WAY to tight on my chest.

#bigboobgirlproblems.

The other one that fits perfectly was $6.

 

11:15 AM - Leave Target and go to the next Post Office

that is actually open for business and not just parcel pick up.

Mail out my parent's mail.

 

11:30 AM - Leave town and head back home.

 

12:00 PM - Arrive back home and proceed to do about

5 hours worth of chores.

 

I cleaned and scrubbed out the fridge.

I know it looks like a bachelor pad fridge right now.

I need to go shopping, but hey we have necessities

like fruit, wine and cheese ;)

 

I pulled out Halloween decorations,

and did a mediocre job at putting up some

Halloween decorations.

Note to self:  Buy some candy to put in bowls.

 

Thor isn't sure what to think about some

of the interactive decorations.

 

Got a little witches corner set up.

 

I found these cute pillows for cheap at Ross

about a month back.  I couldn't pass them up!

 

After cleaning and decorating I proceeded to mop the floors,

do laundry, change our bed linens and give the puppies baths.

 

5:30 PM - Todd arrives home from helping his brother

and sister-in-law with their new house, he showers

and cleans up and then we head out to date night.

 

6:00 PM - Head back to town for dinner and a movie.

 

6:30 PM - Start dinner and I have a delicious

Chicken Cobb salad, and Todd has steak and veggies.

 

7:30 PM - Head over to the movie theater.

 

 

7:45 PM - Arrive at movie theater for 8 PM showing and

find out that we looked up the wrong theater.  The show

we wanted to watch, The Martian, actually starts at 10 PM.

Todd and I say forget it because we don't want to hang

around town for an additional 2 hours and then get home

between 12:30 - 1:00 AM.  We decide to go back home.

 

8:15 PM - We get back home and call it a night.

Todd has to wake up somewhat early to go to his brother's

house again, and I still have plenty

 of chores to do the next day.

 

8:30 PM - Start watching a movie in bed.

 

9:30 PM - I fall asleep.

Yes, I'm a total party animal.

 

I felt like it was a pretty productive day,

and I had fun running all my errands

and completing some of my chores.

 

So what do your weekends look like?

Anything like mine? 



Yikes!

Adult Halloween Costumes

In the past I've blogged about children's Halloween costumes.

This year I decided to change it up a bit,

and I searched for adult costumes instead.

 

Via

 

What do you think about Bigfoot?

Via

 

No, what about the Iron Chef?

 

Via

 

If that doesn't tickle your fancy,

you could always go as a 90's movie character

like Forrest Gump.

Via

 

Or, you could be the game Operation.

 

If these costumes are to mild, and you

are looking for something a little creepier,

there is always this....

 

Via

 

I think if I saw her in a dark alley,

I would turn and go the other way...

FREAKY!

 

If you are going to a party with a significant

other, and your looking for couples

costume ideas, you could be

 

Via

 

Wilson and Chuck from Castaway.

 

Via

 

There's also Jack & Coke if you wanted

a simple costume idea.

 

Are none of these costume ideas gonna work for

you because you have to dress up as a group,

I've got you covered boo.

 

Via

 

You could go as Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Via

 

And then there is always your favorite social media;

Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook.

 

Personally, I'm going for the scary

vibe this Halloween.

I'm not going to eat all day,

so I'm good and hangry. 

 

Via

 

And then I'm going to wear this.

 

Scary, right?

Wine With the Girls and then the Hubbys

A bunch of gals from work got together and

decided before school started that we

needed to go wine tasting.

 

 

 There were quite a few of us so we rented a party bus.

It had strobe lights, a stripper pole, anything and

and everything you would imagine a party bus would have.

But we got it for two specific purposes.

First, we all fit in one vehicle,

Second, none of us were at risk of getting a dui.

Win, win.!

 

We made three different stops.

 

First stop was Too Good Winery

(I blogged about it before here).

 

 

My favorite thing about the place is the art,

 

and, of course, the cave.

 

Pretty cool, right?

The wine is ehhh...not my favorite.

 

Our second stop was Skinner Vineyards.

It was such a beautiful day,

and a beautiful venue.

It was so nice, in fact, I brought Todd back

there two weeks later.

 

Look at that view.

The wine is good, but my favorite was our last stop,

 Iverson's Vineyard & Winery.

 

I was pretty much done for the afternoon when we arrived here.

By the time we got here, we had been out for 4 hours.

I wasn't going to wine taste at all,

but I caved, and boy am I glad I did.

It ended up being my very favorite.

I bought 2 bottles of sparkling wine,

one pomegranate and one almond.

Delicious!

 

After we were done wine tasting,

we all went back to April's house to meet up with

some of the husbands and boyfriends so we could eat

dinner and play Cards Against Humanity.

 

Never played?

Don't play it if you are shy, get offended easily,

or don't like being embarrassed.

Nobody in this group had any problems with that.

 

 

It was such a fun day.

 

I made some new friends, drank some great wine,

ate some delicious food, and laughed all day long.

 

It doesn't get much better than that!

Blanket Weather

I'm so excited!

It's finally blanket weather.

 

The best time of the year :)
