One holiday at a time.

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all had a fab weekend!
I’m a day late on my Halloween recap post. What’s new.

Saturday I had class and had to rush to meet Lucas so we could head up to Michigan State.
It was freezing! And we lost in the last 10 seconds.. wah. I’m exhausted…

But, here’s some Halloween photos..

Dry ice and my kitty pumpkin! My mom has become a fab pinterest lover.. (Follow her boards here!)

The night before Halloween “Devil’s Night” or “Angel’s Night” as they call it in Detroit.
We went and got out pumpkins.. it was raining and freezing and I was so mad that Luke waited until then.
Funny how girls always know the perfect time to do things and guys push it off because a game (not hockey) is on..
I wasn’t happy.. but, then we carved pumpkins and he took me to dinner and like magic I was a happy camper again.
I’m sure next year he’ll go to the pumpkin patch on the first nice day to avoid me being a brat again.. haha.

I don’t know if other cities call the night before Halloween “Devils Night”.. I should of googled it but, I didn’t.
Devil’s Night in Detroit means more fires, shooting.. and what ever else they do there..
Yes, the actual city of Detroit is probably as bad as you’ve heard. Venturing off in Detroit isn’t a good idea.
The city could be beautiful. I go to sporting events.. and that’s it. I don’t belong in that city.
I’m not saying that in a snobby way. Kids from the “suburbs” that try and hang out & buy or sell drugs end up on the news because they’re not from that kind of area and it’s obvious to people that are. It’s scary but, it’s life.
So, on that night they have a ton of police and volunteers to try and reduce the crime and call it Angel’s Night.
I guess that was the only positive side of Sandy.. it was freezing, windy and rainy here which meant less crime.

On Halloween Luke and I went to see a movie called Cut/Print. It’s a horror movie that was locally filmed.
It was actually pretty good. We were lucky enough to be in a small theater with annoying people who thought
it was perfectly okay to talk during movies. Not whisper. Talk. Loudly.

We didn’t really do anything else for Halloween.. Just ate candy and relaxed. We’re exciting, I know.
I enjoy doing nothing sometimes since I’m always so crazy busy.

Also, it is NOT Christmas yet. Please, no Christmas music. Why does everyone rush Holidays?
I just recapped Halloween and people are already decorating for Christmas! Holy cow! Slow down!

Okay.. I’m going to bed before my Sunday morning shift!

  1. I am glad you & Lucas had fun minus him making you wait until the last minute on the pumpkins. At least next year he will know better :) that within itself is a plus in my book. I love the little pumpkins with dry ice I can truly say you are the first I seen do dry ice verses candle lit. & I have never heard it called devil night or angel night but that is pretty neat. I love it!

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS.. This was the closest I’ve been to you.. when I was on a fake Rock Of Love.. with a fake Bret Michaels.. But, I’ll be seeing you live this Saturday!!! Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!.. I work Friday nights and Saturday mornings.. so Friday isn’t always as awesome to me as it is to everyone else. Dear Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds, The first time I ever linked up I mention...
