HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Just for fun, here are some Halloween facts.

-The biggest trend for Halloween costumes this year is zombies, according to the National Retail Federation's annual Costumes Survey.
- In 2010 there were an estimated 41 million trick-or-treaters between the ages of 5 and 14.
- The first jack-o-lanterns were actually carved from turnips.
- Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday after Christmas.
- Trick-or-treating evolved from an ancient Celtic tradition of putting out treats and food to placate spirits who roamed the streets at Samhain, a sacrad festival that marked the end of the Celtic calendar year.
- 50 percent of kids prefer to receive chocolate candy (not surprising), compared with 24 percent (I would fall into this category), who prefer non-chocolate candy and a 10 percent who prefer gum.

M|m: My Favorite Season via Pinterest

Autumn is my favorite time of year. Right now seems to be especially nice because the weather is mild and the leaves are changing. I love the crisp air that comes with Autumn. Because this time of year brings so many colors and mixes those feelings of eerie and enchantment, I thought I'd dedicate a Pinterest board to it.

I just watched Tangled today. I'm a little behind the times, I know. I love the horse in the movie, they gave him such a funny personality.

Stuff I'm Enjoying and Things That Must Go

Stuff I'm Enjoying
This is my current Netflix obsession. Very funny. I highly recommend it.

Matt and I also went through both seasons of Top Shot which was more entertaining than I expected. I got hooked, and we watched an episode or two each night before bed.

I've also been spending some free time day dreaming and scouting real estate websites.

Sunday lunches (not every Sunday of course) with my Matthew at Tres Hombres, a Mexican restaurant we've discovered.

Thai iced tea, Boba tea -specifically taro flavor, and Pumpkin spice lattes

Things That Must Go


Gum stuck to the waffle soles of my Vans.

Having a sad husband dealing with a totaled car and all the stress that goes with that.

Allergies that continue to drive me wild despite my use of allergy medicine.

Waking up various times at night because you sneeze, your nose is running, or not sleeping well in general because you can't breathe out your nose.
