Is it too early to think about Halloween???


As you may have guessed, Halloween is my favorite holiday of all time! The way I think about this is that Halloween really isn't that far away. I mean, first we have to get through the rest of June and then July, school will start and make August and September fly by and the next thing you know it will be Halloween. This year I hope to have a massive party since everyone seems to think that I am 'too old' to go trick- or- treating. Oh well, I don't mind if I get to still celebrate! Lately I have been quite obsessed with Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead and all of the decorations that go along with it. Today I just bought a set of these sugar skull molds shown in the picture below.

I plan to make these, decorate them, and use them for Halloween. It should be a fun activity to do with the friends and family. I wish that I could spend October 31st in Colorado and then get on a plane and head to Mexico to spend the rest of the holiday of Dia de los Muertos which is November 1st and 2nd. It would be perfect! If anyone has any ideas for my Halloween celebration then just send me a comment!

I hope everyone has a great day!

My Zoo




So today I went to work, hung out with my friend Emily, but in the end I went home to my family. My family, which is rather like a zoo, consists of four dogs, a German Shepard and three Shih Tzus, two Red- Eared Slider turtles, two Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, and one lovely cricket. The German Shepard's name is Finley Majestic. The Shih Tzus's names (in order from oldest to youngest) are Teko Oswalt, Riley Diamond, and Keisha Boo La.


The turtles are named Havok; who was named after the lead singer of A.F.I. (Davey Havok); and the other is named Bumble after the abominable snowman in Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer.


My cockroaches are named Ludwig Von Charles and the other is named Santa Vlasic. And last but not least is my cricket that was saved from my previous school, and her name is Gladys Poster! All of my animals may be hectic but damn aren't they cute?!
