What can I say... I love Target. That store takes Halloween as seriously as I do. I have been looking for a new cookie jar for AGES (since I make cookies fairly often) and I just haven't found one that fit me. Well, the other day my husband and I decided to check out the delight that is Target's Halloween candy and decor. After gallivanting through piles of gooey gummy bats and beakers of margarita mix, I laid my eyes upon this gem! He was sitting with two others, just waiting for me to whisk him away to my kitchen. I knew right when I saw him, he had to be mine. I was thinking of waiting until the Halloween stuff went on sale, but I knew if I waited he would be gone for sure. I think he goes wonderfully with my eyeball salt and pepper shakers we got last year, don't you? While I don't remember exactly where we got them, they eyeballs did not come from target. I figure, when I am rich (yeah right) I will be able to have a whole "mad scientist" themed kitchen, complete with beakers for drinking vessels etc. A girl can dream, can't she?

The Holy Church of Bacon

I have to spread the word! As you know, and if you dont believe me... click here, I have what some people would consider a crazy obsession with bacon. Well, my husband found a wonderful website last night totally devoted to the Holy Church of Bacon, complete with Baconic Laws, History, and lots of tastly links. It is definitly a great place for all things bacon! Now go and find Baconlightenment my children!

Update... bacon cookie recipe!

New Project

I have been kicking around the idea of starting a web comic type thing using little plastic people for actors etc. I hope to start getting all the stuff set up soon. The name of the "strip" (which will probably be a mix of stills and video) is Fuzzy Memory Inc. Right now, all the profits from my shop are going towards buying the needed equipment to get started. I dont know if it will be funny or anything, but feel free to check in. I am sure I will make a big announcement once I start making some stuff... and it will probably be updated sporadically since I dont plan on getting rid of my job any time soon. I plan on doing shorts and parodying movies etc. If you want to stop over, I am still setting up the website (blog... I am not good at real websites) and you can give me pointers if you want. And, it is going to be on a black background, like this blog, so deal. I like black. A lot. Color of my heart and all that.


See that, I was trying to be funny... dont quit your day job right?

Mini Vacation

I thought I would tell you guys about my weekend, since it was so eventful! My husband and I got invited to a bonfire at a friends house Friday night the day before. Luckily we got some crash space (on the softest most bouncy bed I have ever slept on, which was really different). Well, the bonfire was actually an excuse to try to burn a troublesome stump out from next to our friends garage. Through the night we caught the wooden windowsill on fire and caused his new roof to bend (but it bent back after the heat died down). I had fun tending to the fire most of the night (I am a pyro at heart). We ate hot dogs and smores, with Krackel bars instead of regular chocolate bars. They turned out really tastly that way!
It was quite the late night (I actually took a break and napped in the car for a while) , but we also got invited to go paint balling the next day. I had never played, but I have wanted to try it for years. My husband had gone once in college, so he could tell me a bit about it. We met up the next day after picking up some camouflage clothing. The friend who invited us paint balling actually works at a paint ball place, so we got to play for free (thank goodness, because we didnt bring enough cash to cover it). The first game I didnt even shoot a single shot! It was still fun though. The last game was great. I actually got to take out my husband with a shot (of all places) to the wedding ring! I also asked my husband after the last game to shot me because, even though we had played 4 games, I had only been shot in the rifle... and I wanted to know what it was like. Well, he shot me from about 10 feet away and left that wonderful looking welt/bruse/blood blister combination you see up there. I didnt mind. Yes, it hurt, but it was worth it. We found out after the game that one of our tires had gone flat (recalled valve stems we never got replaced...) so we had to wait around Wal-Mart (the only place still open on a Saturday that had tires) to get them all replaced. Luckily, the great dinner we had afterwards made up for the pain the tires had caused. It was a good weekend, and that is all that really matters, right?
