This is Halloween.....(Halloween, Halloween)

Just wanted to do a quick recap of my Halloween!  Hope you all had a great night. 
I decorated for the first time this year!  Here is my Halloween in pictures :)

Visited the pumpkin patch - pre Halloween to get some pumpkins!

 

Then carved them :)

 

Decided to go with a Monster theme!

 

So I decorated my door ala Frakenstein...

 

and our windows with some creatures too!

 

Took my pup to Barcstober Fest dressed as a gnome :)

 

Even though she really wanted to be a taco!

 

After doing the quick décor this year - I am pumped for decorating next year.  I'll spend more than an hour throwing everything together and plan it to be a little bit more spooky!  If I was into hashtags - here is where I'd throw in a #excited.  But I'm not so pretend you didn't read that :)

 

 

 

 

How Come....

In movies the new student ALWAYS enters the classroom after class has started?  And do new students really get introduced as the new student when they walk into class?  Is this real life? 
Are kids in schools really as anti new kid as movies make it seem? 

 

O'Doyle Rules!

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Iphone....

 

 

Dear Iphone,

 

             I promise I will never, ever use the word "ducking" in a sentence so no need to autocorrect my profanity to that word.  Lets work together and be friends.  Thanks for your cooperation.

 

 



 

 

9 Things (v.2) .... I watched on TV as a teen.

Continuing the 9 Things post I give you .....

 

9 Things I watched on TV as a TEEN

 

 

ONE

PARTY OF FIVE

Man I was so obsessed with this show.  I used to babysit for a family down the street when I was in High School - every Wednesday night.  The kids used to go to bed at 9 and I would hurry up and put them to bed so I wouldn't miss a minute of this show! 

 

TWO

MY SO CALLED LIFE

I think every teenage girl could relate to this show when it was out.  And I admit I was obsessed with this one as well.  As a matter of fact I'd love to have this on DVD.  I mean - who didn't LOVE Jordan Catalano!?

I even went to Borders and bought the Buffalo Tom CD for like $20 bucks (which was a lot for a teen who worked at Wet Seal back then) just because I was so obsessed with this show!

 

THREE

THE REAL WORLD

Episodes like London, Miami, Boston, Hawaii etc.  I was hooked.  Not so much on Road Rules although I did watch that too.  I didn't love it as much as the Real World! 

 

FOUR

DAWSONS CREEK

I went back and forth between loving Dawson and Pacey - singing on my own like Joey - and declaring that I would be a screen writer as my profession.  I even wanted to pack up and move to the North Carolina as soon as I graduated!  LOVED this show.

 

FIVE

FELICITY

I loved loved loved this show!  I used to watch Keri Russell on this show called Malibu Shores (which was short lived but a FAVORITE of mine) so that's how I started watching this show but I was in love with it.  And devastated when she cut her hair! 

 

SIX

OZ

Holy Crap this was my show.  Until the very last episode.  This is my least favorite season finale in the history of TV.  Seriously OZ writers - anthrax.  Poof - people in the mail room just disappeared so they shut down OZ.  Horrible horrible ending.

 

SEVEN

 FRIENDS

Seriously,  who didn't watch/love this show!?

 

EIGHT

DARIA

Best cartoon ever.  Sarcastic wit at its best!  Although I wasn't really like Daria in High School I loved this cartoon and could relate to a lot!

 

NINE

SINGLED OUT

Jenny McCarthy.  I wanted to be her.   I remember taking Teen Beat mags and ripping out pics of hot celebrities and playing Singled Out in my room with my sister and my cousins haha.

 

So there you have it.  9 Things I watched as a teen.  Obviously I watched a lot more but these were my favorites!!  Freaks and Geeks almost made the cut but it just gets an honorable mention only because it was so short lived.   This made me definitely want to do a list of shows I watched as a kid!!

 

What shows were your must watch!?

Did anyone else watch Malibu Shores!?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 





Holy Jalapeno!

I was making some chili in the crockpot and got around to the jalapenos.  I used a spoon to scoop out the middle and sliced them like normal.  Afterwards I washed my hands and kept going.  Well from being in the kitchen my face was slightly sweating and I wiped my upper lip with my hand and HOLY JALAPENO!

My face slowly began to burn and then all at once it felt like someone had poured ACID on my face!
My first reaction was to wash it - no bueno.  My boyfriend looked up a solution and here is what seriously saved my poor burning face and my sanity...

- Put some rubbing alcohol on the jalapeno burn spot (have everything else ready before you do this step because it burns like a mother) I put  mine on with a q-tip.

- Then follow it up with milk.  (I used a cotton swab)

- Next rub vegetable oil into the area.

- Followed by another cotton swab with water.

- Last but not least wash the area with dishwashing detergent.

And there you have it folks, jalapeno burn eased and your skin is saved!

Anyone else have any pepper burn experiences?

My last meal....

Ok.  So not to be morbid lately but going off my last post I decided to do a "My Last Meal" post.  I read an article a couple months ago on how there are websites that document peoples last words and last meals (sorry don't have the links bc its just a little too gruesome for my mind right now but I'm sure a quick google search could find you both!) 

I don't think "last meal" is too horrible to think about mostly because I love thinking about food.

So here goes...

APPETIZER - Bacon wrapped scallops

MAIN COURSE - Some sort of white fish - Cobia maybe with a lemon butter sauce and mashed potatoes with steamed asparagus on the side.

DRINK - An ice cold Miller Lite in a frosted glass

DESSERT - (could definitely change depending on the day because I'm not a huge dessert person and am slightly picky if I do have dessert) Coconut Crème Brulee

Mmmmmm!

 

 

What would you choose as your last meal!?!

 



Play this song at my funeral...

I absolutely love the movie Love Actually.  One of the parts I love is how at his wife's funeral Liam Neesons  character says his wife requested the song "Bye, Bye Baby" by the Bay City Rollers be played and then began the slide show of pics of her life.

Got me thinking - what song do I want played at my funeral?  I'd like to keep it upbeat.  I'm sure my choice would probably be a popular choice among people if asked this question - but I don't really care. 

So, here is my choice - please play this at my funeral ......

 

What song would you choose?
