Happy Halloween

Hubby surprised me and put up the halloween decor on Friday before I got home from work. Here is a daytime shot, complete with the zombie guarding his graveyard.


Here is the nighttime view. It is hard to see, but there are skull lights in the hedge and strobe lights with spooky music behind them. Tonight we will add a fog machine to finish out the spooky graveyard look. I will sit outside dressed as the zombie handing out candy to the kids.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Decor

Today when I got home from work hubby had almost completed decorating the house and yard. The graveyard looks really nice and the spooky films are on the windows and the door, the skull lights are in the bushes, and all was left for me to do was make the ghosts to line the driveway. When it gets dark we will have to turn everything on and take pictures. Hopefully the wind cooperates and doesn't blow over all of the tombstones.

Grandmother

Do you believe that your loved ones who have died still watch over you and visit you from time to time? I definitely do. Specifically my grandmother. There are times when I dream about my grandmother, but when I wake up it feels very real. Usually this happens when I am really stressed or need someone to smack me on the back of the head about something. My grandmother visited me last night and it felt so real, it was like we were truly sitting at her kitchen table talking. When that happens, I wake up feeling both happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I got to visit with her, but sad because it makes me miss her even more.

Do you have someone that watches over and visits you?

What's on your iPod?

No matter what season or what kind of mood I am in, my iPod always has to have 4 items on my iPod....the soundtrack from Rent, TransSiberian Orchestra, Trace Adkins, and Bon Jovi. So what does my iPod say about me? I think it says that I have very eclectic musical tastes. What is always on your iPod?

Public Welfare and Health Policy

I have a presentation and paper due on the topic of Public Welfare and Health Policy. I can be as broad or as specific as I would like and can be on anything related to these topics. I just don't know what to write about.

Any suggestions?

Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Last year we decorated the yard as a graveyard and it went over really well. We are going to do the same thing again this year, but just add more stuff. This year we have a fog machine to add to the spooky look and we are making a fence to go around part of the yard. I am going to set outside and hand out candy dressed as a zombie and one of the dogs, Nash, will also be in costume. He will have the headless horseman riding on his back. It should be fun.

How Many Calories Should Your Dog Eat?

Dogster has this cool link on their site where you can complete profile information about your dog (breed, weight, age, activity level, etc) and it will tell you a recommended number of calories for your pet. I was concerned that we weren't feeding Riley the proper portion, but as it turns out, we were spot on.

Check it out.
