Random Tuesday Thoughts

Happy Tuesday!! Are you feeling random? I sure am! If you want to share your own random or just read others, grab the box and join the fun at Stacy's!

1. Today is Kid's birthday. He is five years old today. That's a whole hand! That's a big deal!

2. Our McDonald's is money hungry or something. Every other McD's has Small, Medium and Large iced coffee's. Our McD's has Medium, Large and Extra Large. However, the XLarge at our McD's is the same as a large at any other McD's. Strange.

3. I ordered an extra large iced coffee this morning. At the window I was handed a "medium" (Which, at any other McD's would be a small), umm. I said, "Did I not order an extra large?" She told me that the other lady only put medium on the display. However, she traded it out for an extra large. Extra large for the price of medium. Nice.

4. I planned to put a Sean Bean (because I love him) movie in my DVD player today while I do laundry and party prep. However, Syfy had other plans. There is a Destination Truth marathon on today. LOVE this show. Josh Gates make me happy. :)

5. Taking Kid to school today I saw a man at a stop sign. He was in a very nice black car and wearing a suit. You don't see a lot of guys in suits around here. There's just not a lot of jobs that require suits. I miss seeing guy (and girls) in suits. When I lived in Pennsylvania there were suits everywhere. Where, oh where, is civilization?

6. Lion King 3D tonight? Maybe. It's possible we'll try to go this afternoon for Kid's birthday. Since his party is Saturday we wanted to try to make this day a little special and not just like another day.

7. I made cupcakes last night for Kid to share with his class for his Birthday. There were Very happy kids when I walked into that classroom this morning.

8. On that note I'm going to gain so much weight. Cupcakes, Birthday cake, birthday party food. Around here the "Holiday" season starts with Kid's birthday. Kid's Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

9. Party on Saturday, then guess what? I can start the Autumn/Halloween decorating! SO Excited!

I think that's enough for now. I don't want to bore you any longer. Have great Random Tuesday!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

I have not been random (on this blog anyway) in far too long. Today, I shall be random once again. If you would like to be random as well you can click the box and link up over at Stacy's place.

1. September! I. Love. September!

2. Amazon has some free kindle books. This has resulted in my "To read" pile growing far too large.

3. Speaking of my "To read" pile, I've GOT to get my hands on A Clash of Kings. Must know what happens next!

4. Dear George Lucas, Cut. It. Out. It was PERFECT the way it was. STOP changing things!

5. Realized that Kid's birthday is a week away. This means his party is less than Two weeks away! I'm not panicking, not at all! Where's my towel!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

6. If you have any awesome suggestions for a Lego birthday party I'm all ears. (Well, all eyes I suppose.)

7. Ringer starts tonight. I'm sort of excited to have Sarah Michelle Gellar back on my TV.

8. Pinterest rocks! I found a website that suggested making pancakes in mini muffins cups, in the oven. Perfect. No turning, no flipping, just baking and eating. (Bonus if you add chocolate chips and pumpkin!)

9. What's your favorite creepy book to read for Halloween?

10. I love my New England Patriots. Yeah, Baby!

I may have more but I'll stop now. Hey, at least they were all short.

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Welcome to this weeks edition of Random Tuesday Thoughts! Pull up a chair and enjoy! If you like what you see click the little box below and head over to Keely's blog to read some more or post your very own Random Tuesday Thoughts!!

1. I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Did you Trick-or-Treat? We did, we got silly candy too. Barely any chocolate AT ALL. Three snickers which J ate. One Hershey bar and one package of Reese's pieces (which I ate). The rest was basically sweet tarts, smarties, dum dums and double bubble. No where near as good as last year.

2. Sometimes people annoy me! It's like they have no sense at all! Seriously man! Think! This is bad!

3. Have you ever been so tired you can't seem to accomplish anything? I'm sitting here with tab after tab open and I can't seem to get anything done. Things that need to be written are just staring at me because my brain can't concentrate enough to put words on paper.

4. WHY is it that the ONLY time the Kiddo takes a nap is when he is left home with Daddy? He NEVER takes a nap with me but as soon as I walk out the door (No matter WHAT time it happens to be) he's sleeping. Then after his late nap, who is stuck sitting up with him at night when he's too wound up to sleep? Not the one who let him sleep, no. Me, that's who!

5. Yesterday my cousin posted on Facebook that she was watching Sweeny Todd (Mmmm, Johnny Depp . . . that's another post) to which my other cousin responded "Dude, Musicals suck." I must say I do not agree! I love musicals (not ALL of them, but a lot of them). Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Music Man, Grease, White Christmas, Moulin Rouge . . . on and on. So do you like musicals? Do you have a favorite?

6. Taking down the Halloween decorations today. Now I'll have to fight the urge to decorate for Christmas right now. I don't think I'll even last another two weeks. I'm kind of known for decorating Early. I can't help it, the mood hits and I just have too!

7. Ewan McGregor (Mmmm . . . wait, that's another post too!) is going to be on Craig Ferguson on Friday! I'm so so very excited about this. Ewan is a great guest. Together they are both extremely funny. When I heard about The Men Who Stare At Goats (I really want to see this) I got all excited hoping that while the actors were making the rounds promoting the film, Ewan might make it to Craig's show. He is! Yay!

8. Anyone interested in a "Hot Guy of the Week" kind of post? I'm tossing the idea around . . . we'll see. I may just include it in my RTT. Unsure at the moment.

9. My bestest friend is very creative and handy. She's opened an online store called An'gel Boutique. She has some skirts, baby girl head bands and (my favorite) some very cute purses. You can click the link here or the button on the side of my blog. Please go have a look? Thanks

10. Cate from Show My Face has created a new game called Seven Days Seven Answers. It's a lot of fun and a great way to get your creative juices flowing. You should check it out . . . now . . . go!

Wow, for thinking I didn't have anything to say I sure had a lot to say! I think this is my longest RTT so far! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Trick-or-Treat

Trick-or-Treat! We had a great time on Saturday night. My little Pirate.

We didn't really get that much candy. It seemed there were less houses handing out candy (Well, actually none of the houses were handing anything out. It was the people at the house.) this year than last year. Maybe they were all Trick-or-Treating?

I guess I should consider it a blessing. Less candy to eat means less weight to gain. Although, it would have been nice to have some kinds of snacks around. (We got a lot of that silly candy too. NOT ONE REESE'S!!!)

All in all it was a pretty uneventful evening, as you can see from my short post.

Six Word Saturday! (Halloween Edition)

"Whatever you do, don't fall asleep."

Happy Halloween!!!

Today's Six Word Saturday courtesy of the film "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

A Walk in the Cemetery.

I thought that on this day before Halloween (I would do it tomorrow but tomorrow is Six Word Saturday and I don't want to miss it) I would take you on a walk with me through my favorite "haunt." Our local cemetery.

Join me, won't you?

I think that this spot right here(below) is the creepiest looking spot in the cemetery right now. I just love how the trees look old and gnarled and the leaves are all over the ground.

As I was walking I came across this tombstone:

Notice anything odd about that stone? Maybe the dates on Mrs. Butler's side? Born 1858, died 19 - Nothing. Did she never die? Is this woman 151 years old? Strange.

I ran across another one like this also.

Born 1871 and never died. Cool.

This stone below is unusual for a reason. I mean, sure it looks old and all. Date of death says May 1907. That's not what's odd about this stone though. It's the location that is strange.

This picture is the view from the stone in the previous picture. See those trees way out there? That's the rest of the cemetery. For some reason this guy was buried Way far away from everyone else. All by himself. Perhaps this was the John Wakefield of our town? (Harper's Island viewers will get that reference.)

Well, thanks for coming with me on my little walk. Feel free to have a seat on the dark and creepy little stone bench and take a breather.

Happy Halloween!!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Happy Tuesday to you all!! It's time to be random! If you would like to join in the random fun all you have to do is head to Keely's blog by clicking the random little box below.

1. Finally got the Kiddo's Halloween costume. He's going to be a Pirate and he's so excited about it.

2. I'm looking forward to having some candy around the house. (DANGEROUS!!!) I hardly ever buy it because of the danger factor. I'm sure I'll be happy when it's gone too. Maybe I should hope that people hand out stupid candy this year instead of good candy.

3. Yea you know the stupid candy. Tootsie Rolls and generic hard candy, jawbreakers and that Bubble gum that you can only chew for 3.52 minutes because after that it's lost all it's flavor. (No offense meant towards anyone who likes this candy.) I'm looking for the GOOD candy. The snack/fun size Reese's and Snickers, the Hershey bars and the Kit Kats. Those are the GOOD candy.

4. Will you be handing out candy this year or will you be trekking through town with a little costume clad kiddo in tow? I love taking the Kiddo Trick-or-Treating. It's a blast! Then when we come home he crashes and I have the rest of the night to watch Ghost Hunters (or something else Halloween-ish) and eat candy. Well, I don't eat candy all night.

5. Trick-or-Treat? Yea, let's hope the rain stops! I'm so sick of the rain!

6. Made some delicious pumpkin bread last night. MMmmm. I really don't know why I don't make this stuff every week. It's that good!

Well, I think that's about it. Have a great Random Tuesday everyone!!!
