Oakland Cemetery Fest

In great Halloween fashions my Auntie, sissy and I decided to visit the Oakland Cemetery Festival. They do all kinds of tours (Halloween tour is $20!) and I am pretty amazed at how beautiful this place is and why haven’t we been here before?…

After a grueling 30-minute tour all around the cemetery JUST to see Margaret Mitchell’s resting place we started walking around on our own. This place is HUGE. Visited a couple more “famous” graves, saw some antique cars (oh how I wish we still had one) and Tracy, who thought the graves weren't big enough, laid down on one to see if they were. Of course it was plenty big and talk about disrespecting a grave. Shame on her.

Time was growing on us and we were walking past an old fashion picture booth. You know those old fashion picture places where they dress you up in costume? Well my Auntie was all, “Lets do this” and we’re all like “ok lets”, but of course my aunt chose to leave us to do it while she “held onto our stuff”. Well-played Auntie…well played.

As you can see the pictures did come out pretty cute and it was quite funny, the whole experience. Tracy’s dress fit perfectly where as mine wouldn't even zip up, yet it was very slimming on me. Flattering if I do say so myself. People kept coming up to us asking if they could take our picture and saying how cute we were. Um duh! 

Oh it’s so October

Last night I passed this AMAZING house decked out in Halloween décor (see pictured). I was so excited I wanted to stop but didn't (sads). When I arrived at my destination I explained my excitement to my date and he said, “Yeah I know what you’re talking about, wanna go check it out?” UM F YEAH I DO! So we went back and took pictures. How awesome is that? Finished up the night watching one of my FAVE movies Clue, that I've been itching to watch.

Today my phone is near its death…which is too bad because I've got a lot of activity going on this morning (not typical). Lots of instagraming, tweeting (retweets I love) and texting. None of this I can do if it dies! Hold on dear phone I can charge you on the way home.

I leave for Michigan in two weeks! I’m so excited to see fall in Michigan, pumpkin patching and picking apples. I get back just in time for my birthday and Netherworld that week. Methinks I got a busy month, but it’s October and that makes me happy. 

This Year in Halloween News

Because it’s only a little bit over a month away and duh I’ve been weighing my considerations since June, I’ve come to a semi conclusion of what I’m going to be for Halloween this year…The Bride of Frankenstein.

A couple years ago I bought an inflatable Bride of Frankenstein headpiece. It’s kind of funny, but paired with a white dress (still looking for the perfect one, I’ll be hitting up antique stores) and the right makeup (from a friend) I think it’ll be cute. Too bad I don’t have a Frankenstein. Single girl problem: Always wanting to do a couple costume for Halloween and not having the + one to do so.

But uh oh…A very close second has me wanting to be Clockwork Orange Alex. As disgusting as the movie and/or character is, there is something about him that is so intriguing. 

If Tuesday Were A Person...It Was Home Schooled

I’m crying on the inside today. Not like a balling just a mere weeping. Nothing really specifically sad happened today its just happening. A coworker announced her recent engagement. Don’t get me wrong I’m totes happy for her, but that now makes for TWO engagers in the office, and I’m still single, so methinks that’s a bit greedy of the office. It could also just be nearing that time of the month.

I read today that I could make some extra (not much) mullah by publishing my blog on the kindle. As far as I can see it’s FREE (for me) and sounds pretty enticing. Dear readers I’ll be looking into this. My cousin said I need to get rid of my blogspot, but I’m like it’s FREE, I’m not paying for a URL and just FOLLOW me! 

Anyways, it’s just Tuesday and I have a lot going through my head today. My cc ran out of its no interest and in trying to do a balance transfer applied for the WRONG card and now that’s just something I have to deal with tomorrow. Giant.Pain.In.The.Ass. On a happy note, it’s FALL and it’s amazing outside. Brisk in the morning, cool in the afternoon, the sounds and feelings of fall are everywhere. Soon I’ll be digging out Halloween decor from my attic and carving pumpkins (don’t know why this excites me every year we curse the night in doing this). Michigan is less than a month away, and though I’m not excited to fly I’m really excited about the trip.

Maybe my inner weeps are happy not sad.
