corn maze

We went to the haunted corn maze tonight and I thought I was going to be totally freaked out, but I wasn't scared at all. It was nice to be there with high school girls... because they scream every time a spook jumps out, and then the spook runs after them and leaves me alone because I'm not screaming. I just look them right in the face and keep on walking.

We did totally get lost. They have numbered posts inside the maze to help you stay on the right track. We found #1... then #2... then #5. Then we wandered around for a VERY LONG TIME before finding #2 again. Ahhhh! We had to ask to be shown out because we had been in there for almost an hour and were pretty much right by the beginning again. We needed to meet up with the rest of the group and get home! But a fun time was had by all. AND we got to cook hot dogs and s'mores over the fire! Mmmmm!

Now I smell like campfire and need to go wash my hair. Then I can check fantasy football scores and head to bed. I'll sleep well tonight, I'm exhausted!

Christmas?

I had a weird feeling tonight. I was in Hobby Lobby, trying to get some motivation for what my Christmas cards might look like this year (I found none so far). There were aisles and aisles filled with Christmas decorations. And I was thinking before I even went into the store that it felt like the Christmas season, since it's cold and rainy. And it doesn't really snow down here, so cold and rainy is about as close as it gets. Too bad it's not even Halloween yet, and we still have Thanksgiving to go! I wouldn't wish away the holidays for anything... I love spending time with my family. I just wish my mind weren't so confused as to what time of year it actually is. :)

Lazy Day!

Long time, no blog. My apologies about that. I decided I could definitely do it today because I am having a "do nothing" weekend. I'm not kidding, I have NOTHING planned. I looked at my calendar last night and realized that I have at least one thing on the calendar every weekend now through... I thought it was Christmas, but I have now realized it's more like the end of January. Aaah! So I'm enjoying every minute of doing nothing this weekend. :)

Not much is new here. For those of you who asked about how Special K ended up, not so much. I made it to the end of Day 5 (??) and then I broke out of the routine. I've thought about trying it again, so we'll see.

For youth group on Sunday night, we're going to the Haunted Corn Maze and we'll have a bonfire there, too. It should be fun. We're meeting up with another church youth group to do it, so there should be quite a large group! I've done corn mazes before, but never haunted. I'll probably be scared out of my mind. :)

Also - several of you gave me a suggestion for what to be for Halloween. THANKS, they were all great suggestions! I think I am going to go with one I found online because it's easy. A bag of jelly beans. I need to find a clear plastic trash bag in which I will cut leg and arm holes... then step in it, fill it with colored balloons, tie a ribbon (loosely) at the top around my neck, and tape a sign on that says jelly beans. Easy! That's for Trunk or Treat that we're having on Wednesday night at church. Which reminds me, I need to go get some stuff to decorate my trunk.......

Have a great night!
