Deep thoughts...

As I peer into the bag where the remaining tortilla chips are all just pieces and try to decide which broken bit will be the best one to scoop up the last of the salsa, my mind pictures each of them cowering and trying to hide while thinking "Don't pick me!" Then I wonder... is that a creative writer's mind at work, or is it possible that I am just a little demented? Hmmm...

Life moments...

So... there's this commercial that I just find a little creepy. The dad is off dressing up as a weird robot while the little kids 'charge' their glow-in-the-dark pull-up underwear under the lamp. He charges into the room and shines a big flashlight on their underwear (which they are now wearing) and yells "extra charge" or something to that effect. In my sarcastic, facetious way, I say to my husband, "Oh yeah, that's not weird...let me just run into the bedroom and shine a big flashlight on your privates". Now, usually he will either agree or disagree with my rants and we will have a lively discussion. Tonight, however, after several seconds of dead silence on his part, I hear, "OK". 
...I do NOT look at him because I can HEAR the damn grin...

Something Wicked This Way Comes...

I love Autumn. I love plants. I love All Hallows Eve. What better way to ring in the season than to do a little surgical alteration to a skull and then give him plant hair?!

I think my skully friend looks very festive with his green sorta-dreads! Hmmm...maybe I shoulda left the knife in. And added a couple of spiders... Every handsome scary guy needs a little hair decoration, right?! 

Well, until I decide which freaky and frightening things to decorate his lovely head with, he is living happily in the sun room with the sparkly witch signs. ...and the real spiders... ;-)
