1. What is your favorite scary movie?
Used to love all the Stephen King stories - must have grown out of that. Nowadays, I don't care for movies that are just scary and nothing else. However, I do enjoy a story with a good spin.

2. What is your favorite Halloween treat?
I love candy corn. Seriously, I o.d. on it about once a year. That and Sweettarts. Seriously.

3. Do you dress up for Halloween? If so, describe your best Halloween costume.
Don''t dress up - don't decorate - it's just a "holiday" I prefer not to celebrate. Partially due to the ancient pagan meaning behind it, and partly because people tend to act like idiots - like I need another excuse for that lol! (I am referring to egging of the cars, etc here)

4. Do you enjoy going to haunted houses or other spooky events?
Nope. Trying to keep up with the dust in my own mansion is spooky enough.

5. Will you dress up for Halloween this year?
Like every other year. My momma costume just gets better, more realistic with age. (eek!)

Well the house has been turned upside down in the last few days. We got an a/c unit installed which included new duct work etc and found out we have termites! Yay and Yuck, in that order! Very exciting to see work going forward on the house right now - excitedly picking out tile and cabinets. Hopefully before Christmas we'll be able to move into the new wing. Then we can finish up some old repairs in the old part of the house and hopefully in the spring get to fixing up the landscaping. Wahoo! I may have to go on an internet hiatus in the spring and give that my attention for awhile. We'll see how everything goes. Anyway, that's my thrill for now.

Ian now has two teeth and Kaitlin spelled her first word all by herself - bat! And we moved on to cat and fat and hat etc. Cute.Henry's birthday was a blast and he got loads of great goo for his special day - star trek paraphernalia (sp?) and bionicles and money! Woohoo!
