Happy Halloween!

Ok, so Halloween is almost over, but I'm sneaking in a quick wish for you to have a fun and safe time. I had my Halloween fun yesterday. This year my costume was Abby Sciuto from NCIS. :-) So much fun to put that ensemble together, let me tell you!

I've been watching the Ghost Hunters live Halloween event (between naps) and just heard that the winner of the vote for locations to revisit will be Waverly Hills in Louisville, KY. Keep an eye open for Jason and Grant, Brad! ;-) If you see them, you totally have to get their autographs for me. 

Unfortunately, I didn't win the contest where the grand prize was a trip to the Stanley Hotel in Colorado (inspiration and filming site for Stephen King's "The Shining"). Bummer. :-( That would have been awesome. However, I did check out the hotel's website out of curiousity and discovered that they have a ghost hunting package! You even get a K2 meter to use as you stay up all  night trying to scare the crap out of yourself. Sweet.  Now all I need is the money to travel to and stay there. I'm thinking it might be a few years before that happens.

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the holiday, it's my favorite. There's just something that I love about a day dedicated to candy, and the fun of pretending to be someone (or something) else for a little while. It's a great escape from the stress of the everyday.

Check out the contest on Ex Libris Draconis .

I just wanted to post quickly and let you all know that Jaleh is having a contest over at Ex Libris Draconis to celebrate her one year anniversary. All you have to do is craft a poem about dragons. She is offering a hand-crocheted bookmark to the winner (in the color of their choice).

I've entered an extremely terrible poem. So, pop over and laugh at my entry then add your own, just to compound my shame. ;-) But HURRY, the deadline for entries is this Friday, October 8th.

Here's a link to the contest post.

Embrace nature's beauty. It feeds the soul.
