So has anyone else read A Court of Silver Flames and suddenly want to get super strong and badass but also find a small group of girlfriends who lift each other up and help each other heal from trauma?

Lessons learned today: a good life doesn’t always look the way you think it’s going to look. Even if you don’t have all the big things you thought you would have, the little things are pretty damn good

Watched Vivarium last night and I still feel uneasy. I’ve never been made so uncomfortable by a movie.

Listening to an audiobook and the narrator just said, “exiting the apartment, she tripped over an envelope” and I can’t get past it. How does one trip over an envelope.

SCREAM 2

I’ve only seen this one once, way back in the 1900’s.

Ten minutes in, I have thoughts

This takes place, what, 2 years after two teenagers brutally murder a bunch of other teenagers and, not only have they made a film about it, they are handing out ghost face costumes at the door. People are running around the theater pretending to murder each other for the entire length of the movie - or at least until someone is actually murdered.

Look, I’m not expecting realism in a slasher movie, but this is wild.

Also, Courtney Cox’s hair. Yeeew!

Also, it’s just occurred to me that I am not a fan of Neve Campbell.

Also, maybe it’s my age, but old Skeet Ulrich is better looking than young Skeet Ulrich.

I said what I said.

Every year for the Halloween season I go with a “theme” of movies to watch - along with my regulars and maybe some others. This year I’m choosing Scream because I’ve only seen the first three. I remember when the first Scream came out and how iconic it was. I appreciate it even more as an adult

What’s you’re favorite scary movie?

I am introducing my husband to Practical Magic tonight so naturally I got Halloween candy, lit every candle in the house, and made apple cider cocktails

I am an adult woman with a full time job in a career that I built for myself over a decade of working my way up, two children, and a mortgage and it still really bothers me when my mother doesn’t take me seriously. Because she doesn’t. Ever.

Wilf has my whole heart

I decided to stop posting calories alongside my meals. Again, this stuff is mostly for my own reference to make things easier for myself. Almost like creating a menu for myself to look back on. Anyway, if I post it, it’s somewhere in the range of 350-500. This was lunch- potatoes, peas, and chicken sausage. Yes, I’ve been eating potatoes every day. Because po-tay-toes.

I’m on my third rewatch of Over the Garden Wall this season. It’s fine.

And that’s a rock fact

[spookyinthesouth]

Todays activity took me to the garden. I sowed some more seeds for the fall - radish, lettuce, and carrots for the third time.

Apparently carrots don’t germinate in temps over 80 degrees. I didn’t find that out until after the second attempt.

I’ll probably do a last harvest of my tiny peppers and giant basil this weekend and then take them out and maybe plant something else for the fall.

Oh and I accidentally grew some pumpkins from the ones I chucked out back last year 🎃

A lovely little breakfast on this (finally) cool September morning

[spookyinthesouth]

We needed cheap and easy tonight so I got some rotisserie chicken and a baguette from the grocery store and made salad BECAUSE HEALTHY HOBBITS EAT BREAD.

This doesn’t look super appetizing but, my god, it’s so comforting.

Kids playing in their rooms, sick husbo watching One Piece in the living room, gloomy rainy weather, and me - alone in the kitchen- making soup. I like it here.
