HAPPY MONDAY!!! It’s a new week and it’s a week closer to our beloved yummy, sweet yet spooky night of Halloween. Whatch’all doing for that night? Halloween parties? Taking the kids out? Horror movie marathons? Reading Christmas romance? I’d love to know! 😀

Three things:

1.) Annnnnnnd I’ve caught a virus again. *sigh* 😔 Could not sleep, my throat hurt so bad, but Tylenol helped. I still feel like poop, but not like I’m dying, at least. 😉 Can I blame Milton? I’m gonna blame Milton.

2.) I’m on a horror & thriller movie watching frenzy these days. None of them scare me the way I’m looking for, but it’s still a good creepy time. Soon it will be Christmas and Holiday shows (which I love too), so I’m just enjoying the darkness while I can. 😉

3.) Speaking of Halloween, I got this cool skeleton fish decoration to go with the coastal/sea theme of my house!! Isn’t he awesome. Alllsoooo… I broke into the candy we got at Costco. I blamed a mouse. Called Milton. 😂
