Too much Halloween? NEVER

Thrift store finds of the month

(Mostly 80's finds)

Aside from my current vampire obsession, the thrift store a block away from my house is my other problem.

Items in order:

1. Weird Jello-esque napkin holder I use for new postcards and letters
2. Non-functional pear
3. Bonified 1984 rainbow mugs
4. 1982 ceramic pie mold
5. Metal key hook which I spray painted green (Jewish door frame?)
6. Ridiculously awesome tacky bowl
7. 80's heart bowl (No, it's not a Tostitos endorsement)

8. Ceramic butterfly I keep my incense in.

Fuzzy photo of the Kills

The last few photos are of Tilly and the Wall. I love the clogging as percussion.
They were fun to dance to as well as CSS. (quintessential Alina music)
I had run into the drummer of Tilly while we were in line for the bathroom.

The reading frenzy.

This has been my life for the past few weeks. I just finished the third book only to find a fourth I was unaware of which I had to purchase immediately... It suddenly took more precedence over buying food.

Thanks for robbing me of sleep and social life Stephenie Meyer. Also, thanks for the needless vampire obsession. I have devoured the horror section of Blockbuster. In the rare hours I haven't been reading, I have watched Blade, Interview with a vampire, Underworld, etc. etc.

I have a problem.

One of many reasons Limos are dumb.

Twilight

My mother sent the trilogy to us a while ago and I just read Twilight. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days. I now need to read New Moon and Eclipse. This vampire romance was probably written for high school girls, but I love it. I get high school butterflies in my stomach.

I was thinking they should make a movie-Come to find out they are. It should be out in December. The actors they chose look just like the characters in my mind.

Amusement

I have been helping out one of the fathers who I nanny for.
He is an owner of Heritage Square, a theme park Aaron used to frequent when he was a child. It's in Golden which is about 15 minutes from where I live in Lakewood.
I have been operating the rides and working on my tan.
I got my face painted at work.
Pretty awesome.
