Excited!

This is my second time writing this. Blogger decided to crap out on me right as I hit publish. So....

I am excited for Halloween! We had to pull down all of our Halloween decorations last week out of the attic and I found myself so excited for this holiday! My mom always made a big deal out of Halloween. She used her creative genius to create costumes, contraptions and decorations. My favorite was this thing she created for the front door so that whenever it was opened a witch or spider would come rushing at you. I spent a lot of time opening and closing the door and watching in delight. Since then, I found Matt, who like me, loves Halloween. Every year we wait for all the store's Halloween aisles to go up and then we search for bigger and better things for our decor.

Right now, our decorations include: several carved, uncarved and porcelain pumpkins, countless headstones, a door mat, a fog machine, "Vinnie the Vampire", a set of "haunted" books, a haunted village, and many more things. Not too gory, but a lot of fun!

I did recently make my first Halloween purchase. I bought some candles that appear to be white on the outside, but drip red when lit. I am very excited to use them!

I have no idea what my obsession with Halloween decorating is, but I love it. Luckily, I found a man who loves it with me.

The one thing I will miss this year is the crisp air that comes with Fall in Utah. But..I have something they don't...MICKEY'S NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY! I am so excited!

Oh SNAP!

There were two instances this week where there were some serious OH SNAP moments with celebrities...first was with the Taylor Swift/Kanye West MTV Music Awards debacle. Kelly Clarkson spoke her mind on her blog saying "what's wrong with you? Did you not get hugged enough as a child?" to West. She went on to say that she disliked him more than her ex-boyfriend, "which is strange, cause I don't even know you personally". Snaps to Kelly Clarkson for putting Kanye in his place. In case you live in a box, Kanye interupted Taylor Swift when she was accepting her moon man for the "Best Female Artist Music Video" to say that Beyonce deserved it more.

The second Oh SNAP! moment was surrounding a comment that Megan Fox said stating that working with Michael Bay was like "working with Hitler" in his approach. In return for this comment Megan Fox was backhanded with a letter from an anonymous trio that supposedly work with Bay on most of his films. "Megan Fox is a classless...woman who is dumb as a brick" They started off. The letter when on to be much less than flattering to Megan Fox ultimately hoping "that they kill her character off in the first 5 minutes of Transformers 3" OH SNAP! I thought this was probably something Megan Fox had coming seeing as her big mouth had yet to get into any real trouble.
