Your traditional idea of a haunted house just happens to by my dream house. Something old and in need of love and full of life not of the living.  Today is not about my dream house of haunts. Or pumpkins. Or treats. It's really about the beginning of a time of year when we come together. It's a wonder that the first of the fall and winter holidays is All Hallows Eve, the beginning of the time set aside to remember our loved ones long since gone.  Tonight there will be magic all around and warmth in my heart.

I'm excited that it's October, because I finally get to show my true self! Ok, well, that seems so cliché now that I said it. I love all things Halloween!

I've gone from ugh to angry, so this is probably coming to an end and thus, a return to normalcy. I also probably need to catch up in sleep a bit. I haven't been sleeping that well and I wake up overly tired in the morning and consume my weight in coffee throughout the day. Right now I'm just counting down to tomorrow, a day I didn't plan anything for, to just relax. No errands, no appointments. I do have an evening engagement, but it won't get in the way of my plans to be in my pajamas until noon. Maybe I will grab a book and get in the pool for a bit. It's still hot enough. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be my res
