Spooked

The first person to wish me a happy birthday this year was the great Jeremiah Newton it was shortly thereafter that he advised me to get my Ouija bored out of the house. Taking it in jest I found myself up late one night around Halloween watching the real story behind the movie The Exorcist , as it turns out the Ouija bored was to blame ..who knew. Mine is tucked under my TV stand and I have second thoughts about messing around with it anymore. It was just a few weeks back the boys and I were trying to summon our late dog and to think what we may have brought into the house. Speaking of evil spirits I read an article last night about one of the kids who lived in the Amityville home and the proposed hoax behind it all that has hung over his family like a dark cloud since that afternoon they picked up and left that house and all of their belongings behind some 25 years ago, it got me to wonder about the current residents. You would have to either one be a real thrill seeker or two have gotten a pretty good deal to live in that house. I for one wouldn't regardless of the sensationalism surrounding that story something real happened there, just ask the kid he'll tell ya and if all goes right he will be telling everyone else at the Sundance film festival. Maybe we can finally get the real story. Being it was one of the first books I have ever read I would be pretty interested to hear it.

Speaking of firsts the year has been full of them and to think that it is drawing to a close brings me into reflective mode. There is no stress associated with the holidays around here, why the Christmas shopping is almost done..almost not quite. The Fall semester is over in just about a month and soon we will be celebrating two more birthdays. I have been immersed in different styles of architecture..always the historian this explains away any future fanatical posts that may come your way. I have also been hugely distracted on my new hobby of couponing and getting things for free.. I know how this sounds and it is in no way due to any outside influence from shows on TV I swear. This is something I have pretty much always have done back and forth through my years raising a family however in the past few months I have kicked it into high gear and it has resulted in quite the stockpile..I find myself longing for an extra room in my home to put shelves in so that I may keep it nicely organized. But for now I have a huge dresser full of various brands of bodywash, lotions, shampoo,makeup, toothpaste, scented candles and you name it.. don't even get me started on the lip gloss my hubs says I could open a store. It is pretty fun actually and I can even keep up with it without leaving the house by snagging some stellar online deals.. I really should share though I doubt anyone comes around here expecting to find a deal.. and besides CentsableShoppin is the go to girl for things like this.. you really should check her out you may just find yourself hitting up 4 stores in one night and coming home with hundreds of dollars in food and product for like 60 bucks.. its true this is what you can find me doing on Tuesday nights.. but enough about that. Tomorrow is Monday and I am really going to try and wake up earlier, fact is I am not much of a morning person anymore...if I can refrain from reading ghost stories tonight I may just be able to..
