Trick or Treat!

Tomorrow is Halloween, and as I have a violin lesson in the evening, I will do my Halloween post tonight. I apologize for being so long in posting...all the elements of my life are currently in a battle for my attention...I cannot wait until November 11 because that means everything is over and I don't have school so I can sleep in and maybe get caught up on myself. Right now, it's murder trying to carve out an hour to watch television or read. I have to put other things I really should be doing on the back burner just so I don't lose my sanity...but that's an introverted thing, I guess.

Anyway, Halloween is tomorrow! I love dressing up, and if I could, I would wear a costume to school tomorrow. But alas, I cannot, so I shall resort to daydreaming about it (although I probably won't sit with my head in my hands, arms propped on my desk, staring out the window and sighing happily about this...that isn't what I mean by daydream).

Even though I am not in a couple and even though I have not been invited to any Halloween parties this year (mostly because no one is throwing any around here...boo!), I still have a list. I have a list for everything--you hopefully have realized this by now.

And so, here are the top 5 couples costumes I want to someday wear.

1. Lily and Herman Munster

I love The Munsters! And I love how in love Lily and Herman were and the way they went through life, completely oblivious to how strange they were. They were just happy (and yes, I know they are fictional characters and all that, blah blah blah). But they are very good role models in the area of being oneself.

2. Bonnie and Clyde
I would love to dress up as the Bonnie and Clyde from the movie starting Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Even though they were outlaws and robbed banks and all that awful stuff, I think it's great that they stuck together through it all. Of course, it didn't end so well, but who said Halloween costumes had to have a happy ending?


3. Fred and Daphne
Now that the blonde has officially deserted the strawberry in my hair, I could totally pull off the redheaded Daphne. And how adorable is her outfit--the scarf, the headband, the purple shoes?

4. Rapunzel and Flynn
I was trying to think of my favorite Disney princess of all time, and although I love most of the others, the prince always seemed to leave something to be desired. So maybe I don't need a prince, but a rogue :) Hence, Flynn Ryder. And Rapunzel's dress isn't quite as intense as Cinderella's. But honestly, I would do any Disney pair--Wendy and Peter, Pocahontas and John Smith, Belle and the Beast, Ariel and Eric...

5. Leia and Han
Is there a greater couple in the entire galaxy? They fought, they kissed, they argued, they loved each other. I would also most definitely do Aragorn/Arwen or Eowyn/Faramir or Tauriel/Legolas or any Tolkien character/any other Tolkien character. But the Leia and Han combo is more recognizable and probably easier to come by.

Happy Halloween!

Stay gold :)

Being Kinda "Knotty"

Image
I have a confession to make. I'm about to bore you to tears. Okay, maybe not literally, but I'm writing about something I find terribly exciting, and there are those of you, dear readers, who may not agree. So I'm giving you an out. Right now, just stop reading. Is anyone still there? Good. Because we're about to get "knotty." I love to knit. There, I said it. If I could do nothing but knit, read, write, and drink tea, I'd be a very contented person. Not exciting, just contented. I've been knitting for a few years now. I wish I could say I learned from my grandmother or something that sounds much better than "I learned from Youtube." Actually, that doesn't sound too bad--Youtube is pretty indispensable when it comes to knitting. You can watch videos of all the stitches, which makes it easier to catch on sometimes. Up until recently, though, my knitting has not been varied. I knit scarves (the essential beginner project). I've

Who do you think you are?

How much do you know about where you came from?  I'm talking big picture here, not what you know about your home town or state. Genealogically.  Most of us know stories that have been passed down. We know that our grandmother's family has Irish roots, for example, and that our several-greats-grandfather fought in the continental army or that our great-grandmother's cousin just disappeared and there was never any trace of him after the Crash of '29. But how much do we really  know about our ancestors?  I am a bit of a genealogy nut--most of my family seems to be--and I have an ancestry.com account, which has proved most interesting to peruse. But all I know are names and some dates--I don't know anything about the kind of people they were, what they liked or disliked. They had children--were they good parents? Did she have a special recipe that she made at Christmas? Did he have a hobby like whittling or playing the guitar? Were there places she alwa

Questions: Round 1

In my last post, I asked for questions from my readers. I didn't have ridiculously high expectations--not because I don't have faith in my readers!!! But I know that if I read somebody's blog and they invited me to ask questions, I would be very hesitant to do so. Nobody wants to be first. Nobody wants to think that the blogger (me) is sitting there, laughing out loud at the questions and judging the asker. I get it. I promise I understand. I only had one intrepid reader who gave me some fodder for my blog posts, which is fine. I actually was not surprised by the fact that this reader gave me so many questions to answer. Of course, to understand why, one must go back to our time at ISU when she was working a late shift at the Info Desk in the student center and I was sitting in our dorm room when a Facebook chat window popped up, begging for some kind of question/answer quiz she could take before she died of boredom. Add to that hours and hours of Sporcle quizzes (hence
