It's A Dead Man's Party. Who could ask for more?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
On a side note, does anyone else think that it is way too early for radio stations to be playing Christmas music? Kosy 106.5 is playing non-stop Christmas music now. Imagine my dismay when I turned on the radio this morning to "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas." NO IT ISN'T!!!!! It looks a little like Halloween today however.....

Advertising Space

This song is from a CD that is number one on the sales list of Amazon UK but number 953 on just the music side of Amazon US. Why is that? And it is cheaper for me to order this CD from England and pay import fees and shipping fees than it is to order it or even buy it here. This only results in increasing my desire to move to the UK.
Halloween Party this Saturday at my house at 8! Everyone is invited! Let me know if you have any questions!
I LOVE this time of year. There is something about fall that just makes me sooooo happy. Maybe it is the change that it signifies. I am a person who loves change. I thrive on things not staying the same. I hate being stagnant. That might be why I dislike summer so much. It is a constant flow of hot weather. Yuck. One never knows what fall might bring. You may have a nice 70 degree day, or it may snow!!! And snow always makes me happy. I don't even mind driving in it. I may not feel this way come January, but in November and December, I say bring it on! There is nothing better than sitting and reading a good book or watching a chick flick with a hot cup of cocoa during a snow storm. This past week I have been a little upset with the weather. It is almost November and I still haven't been able to wear any of my fun sweaters because it still gets too warm during the day.

The Last Laugh Of the Laughter

Anybody a fan of British rock? You have to be to get this song!:) I finally got the CD it is on yesterday, and I am so happy!
*Rant*- Have you ever met people who refuse to be happy? Even more, they seem to purposely do stuff that they know will make themselves miserable? I have a hard time being sympathetic. All I feel is pity.
Moving on. I saw a weird movie this weekend, Elizabethtown. Even now, I have not decided if I like it or not. The directorial approach was interesting, but I had a hard time staying focused on the story. I am not sure if it was the movie's fault, or if I was just distracted. I will admit that I did cry within the first 15 minutes. The whole premise of the movie is based around the fact that the main character's father dies. I couldn't handle that. I have never been hypersensitive about death, but lately, I am finding myself more and more emotional. I watched Big Fish last week and cried and cried. I had three of my residents pass away this week. And after the many close-to death and death experiences that my family has had in the past year, I guess it is just wearing on me. I am finding myself crying in movies (and tv shows, sad I know) a lot more lately. Anyway, back to the movie...... I just don't know whether to recommend it or not! Maybe wait til it comes out on video. Especially if you are not a Kirsten Dunst fan, like me.

Build A Little Birdhouse In Your Soul

I am wearing pink pants and pointy shoes today. Conformist? Maybe.... I am merely a pawn of Stacy and Clinton. All I am missing is a blazer.

One Is The Loneliest Number

So, here I am again. At least for now. Tonight I am boarding an airplane for Vegas. My brother, who lives there, is picking my mom, my sister, and I up from the airport, and we are driving straight to Disneyland. I know, I know. I was just there a couple months ago. But, this time should be more fun. I am going with my family, and I don't have to plan anything!!!! We are only staying in Cali a couple days, then driving back and spending a couple days in Vegas. Buffets and shopping outlets. Mmmmmm.
Oh yeah. Nobody has guessed the artist that I was thinking of for my last blog. It is so EASY!!!! Think Rat Pack. But, also guess this song!:) And the title has nothing to do with my mood.
P.S. Goodbyes super stink.

Pennies From Heaven

Give me that name of anyone who sang this song, and you shall get a candy bar. If it is the one that I am thinking of, I will make it a king size:)!
Do you ever have times where nothing in life is going the way you thought? I have been feeling like this for a couple weeks. The weird thing is that I don't think this is a bad thing. I am nowhere near where I thought I would be years and even weeks ago, and that is okay. Just because things aren't going the way that I had planned, doesn't mean that they aren't going well. Sometimes, I just need take a minute out of life and just reflect on what I have instead of thinking about all the things I don't have. This weekend helped so much! October is one of my favorite months of the year, and it started with a bang yesterday. I had the opportunity to tune in to General Conference this weekend. There is nothing like watching 8 wonderful and uplifting hours of television to get your mind and heart in the right place. It was a nice time-out from the stresses of the real world. But, there is the inevitable list of things that I really need to work on that follows. And that is okay. That is why we are all here. To become the best version of ourselves. I am so grateful for the ability we have to strive for continuous improvement. Now all I need to do is remember that I am thankful for that and maybe I will be able to remember that we all have trials to make us stronger and better people:).
