-I love my philosophy of education professor. He's always telling stories...and he'll have multiple stories going at the same time. This week we were talking about how during christmas a lot of kids get depressed when they don't get what they want for a present. so he told us this story about when he was 10. For christmas he wanted a baseball glove. Well his parents couldn't afford the nice one he wanted but they told him they were going to give him uncle Doc's (who wasn't really his uncle) glove. Well at 10 years old he didn't factor into account that even though uncle Doc was a good athlete...he was already pretty old. He just knew that uncle doc had been a good athlete...so he figured he was going to get a good glove even if it was used. Well he opens the glove on christmas and he bursts into tears of sadness when he sees the glove. Where the webbing should be was shoelaces...and there was a big hole in the middle of the glove where one would catch the ball...but the worst (and funniest) part was that the hole was filled with straw! he was mortified.....me and my other classmates could not stop laughing...especially when my professor drew a picture of the glove on the board. Too funny!
-I'm doing for the first time the NaNoWriMo thing. My writing is coming a long well...but I don't know if I will make the word count. I'm great at writing dialogue, I'm ok with descriptions. We'll see how it all comes out!
-Wow! How great is the killer's new video for "Bones" directed by Tim Burton! If you are up early in the morning and get MTV I suggest trying to catch it. It has to do with skeletons! That's all I'm saying! It's fantastic.
-So I was bored this week and watched for the first time "Most Haunted Live" which comes on the travel channel.(I think it was a special for Halloween) For those that don't know it's basically this show from the UK where this team goes to investigate haunted places. I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing the whole time I watched it. And I watched it for two hours. It's the funniest thing ever! Now I totally believe in spirits and the supernatural and all that...and if you want to watch a better spirit investigating show I suggest you watch...I think it's called ghost hunters (I could be wrong) on the sci fi channel. I've only seen a few episodes but the guys are from R.I and have a great sense of humor and it's entertaining. If I was going to believe any paranormal investigators on tv it'd be them. But Most Haunted Live cracks me up like you wouldn't believe. It's so fake. "Oh did you hear that? It sounded like a pebble being thrown" "Oh did you hear that? It sounded like rumbling" The thing is you never actually hear anything. The best part though is that you can send your psychic art in (I'm not kidding) and you can send your messages to the show about what you see on their webcams or things you are feeling. The funniest message I saw was that a viewer wrote in that they smelled fish in their home! Ooooh how scary! Fish! Dude it's sooo funny! I tried to watch another episode on it's regular night but it wasn't as fun because it wasn't live and there were no funny messages to read!
Smoothies are the drinks of the zombies!
Before Halloween came I used the days before the holiday to watch some of my favorite thrillers or "scary" movies/tv shows. Nothing is ever really scary that I watch.
My feet watched Secret Window! as I was bathed in a sea of blood (don't know why this photo turned all red. Scary!)
Ed wood definitely had two sides to him....so do I. Here you can clearly see which half of me is evil and which half is good! Just in case you wanted to know...now you do.
You would be bored too if you were stuck next to a pumpkin all day! (Mom actually watched something wicked this way comes with me and loved it)
Oh Dick Van Dyke show....had to watch the walnut and the sneaky camera episodes. It's tradition!
Then came the suckiness that was halloween! It was just bad. This was the first year I really didn't do anything on Halloween or on the weekend before Halloween! I wait all year for this day and it was not very halloweeny! At least the year I was sick on Halloween I still had a rocking homemade alien girl costume!
First my dad carved the pumpkin without me even though we always do it together (Bad Dad....Bad...Must be punished)
We of course didn't get any trick or treaters.
I couldn't find my charlie brown great pumpkin shirt and had to wear my POTC shirt! Great shirt but I wanted to wear the other one! I only wear it once a year...and I saw it all summer long. what happened to it? Tis a Mystery....oooh I smell fish now! scary!
I stuck to the plan of making "under the sea" (Yes very scary, I know) cupcakes with missy!
Ewwww....Egg Goo....now that is what you call scary! What are egg whites anyway? Wait nevermind...I don't think I want to know
Made up captions
"I'm gonna whisk that man right out of your hair"
"OOOOOH! You So Silly Girl"
Missy-"See this ring on my hand? See it? Tell me does it match my eyes???"
Kitty-Yes it matches your eyes! Now get your elbow out of my back
When I try to dance with my sister she gets frightened. We'd never make it on dancing with the stars...well first of all neither of us are even stars...not even b grade ones!
Mom dressed up as sick woman (poor mom)
I stabbed a wealthy person....see their blue blood? (bad joke I know...don't hate me for it)
I apparently have only one spooky/halloween face I can make! Look at my spooky hands....oooh I smell fish! It's a ghost of a fish! Run!
It's like the ocean in a baked good....that's blowing my mind man!
The cupcakes actually looked rather nice when they came out....they were too pretty to frost (But I did anyway)
The one casualty of the night. Man definitely overboard. He's died and gone to cupcake heaven....and then came back to haunt us all with his delicious cupcake smell! Darn those cupcake ghosts!
Ok never mind I shouldn't have used the flash for this picture....but that's my mad icing skills! It's supposed to say Shark...or maybe it's just ancient symbols and I put a curse on anyone who ate the cupcake! I'll never tell.
Another great photo...can you say focus rachel??? So what is this cupcake supposed to be you ask? That says "Jaws" at the top and that is my drawing of Jaws. Why haven't I been asked to be a competitor on a food network challenge?
A small cupcake! I love small things! Everything is cuter when it's small!
well at least some of the cupcakes came out cool...check out the colored frosting I tinted! Oh yeah! I've come a long way since Joan.
As you can see I was very thrilled about this halloween....can you believe there wasn't even anything good halloween related on tv? Pshhhh!
Random Photo of the day
"The Mummy people" that's what I called this art I saw in front of some building or something when we stayed in Ct. over the summer! Rather strange don't you think? If they are not mummy people what are they? seriously injured people????

Seth-Mom! Hailey made 3 different kinds of pancakes and waffles. They are deliciously redundant!
