How many?

Random thought of the day: "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"

Halloween spirits

Today while the baby was taking a nap I discovered a new show (well new for me) on The Travel Channel. It is called The Dead Files. The synopsis of the show is that medium Amy Allan and retired NYPD homicide detective Steve Di Schiavi, work together to try and solve unexplained paranormal phenomena in haunted locations across America.The detective does a full on investigation of the location, events/history and then interviews people. The medium is taken to the location at separate time (always night) to do a walk through and she has someone recording her the whole time (that person goes to the location prior to remove items that might give hints and such about the location). Then the detective and the medium get together with the people who called them there to reveal the findings and compare what they found. It is uncanny how many of the things overlap as they revel things. The medium tends to have at least one sketch done and it is revealed and pretty much there is a picture of someone from the past that is revealed and it looks a lot like that person. I found it interesting and I'll be looking for this show again to watch.


So I have a question. Why do all these ghost adventure/ghost hunting/ghost adventures thingys at night? If there are spirits they don't just wait until night to contact you. Night allows for more times that one person being freaked out over nothing out of the ordinary and then the person(s) next to them react too. Annoying!

So we are well into the Halloween season (we went and got Smiley's 1st pumpkin today) and I've noticed more and more ghost based works so that got me to thinking. How many of you actually believe in spirits/ghost/angels/demons/entities? How many of you are willing to admit it without worrying what others think? How many of you are complete skeptics? How many of you would go on a ghost adventure? What is your "ghost story"?

I find it interesting that more people (at least in my findings) are open to talk about politics but they won't talk about the paranormal. So what is your stance? Mine? I openly admit that I strongly believe in ghosts, angels and demons. Have I ever experienced them at any time in my life? Most certainly. Would I go on a ghost adventure? Sure if I felt it was going to be a real thing and not something staged like "Scare Tactics".

Ah ha, best you didn't know that about me?

Fall is here!

I love fall. It is my favorite time of year. There are so  many reasons I love fall. I love having to throw that extra blanket on the bed (although B-man will say that despite the fact that there is another blanket on the bed, he still doesn't get any because I hog them all). I love wearing sweatshirts and light jackets. I love love love the way fall smells in the air. I love the colors of the leaves changing and the sound of wind blowing through the trees. I love the smell and taste of warm cider. Fall makes me think of baking. I find myself wanting to make anything and everything with pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, cider and apples in it. I get a big giddy when I walk into the local Target or Walmart and see them starting to put Christmas decorations out (eeeeeeeee!!!).

I'm so happy it is fall. Sure I might get a big chilled and need that extra layer but boy oh boy do I love fall. I remember a conversation I was having with 2 other people many years ago at the station. One person asked me "Why are you in such a good mood?" and the other person responded on my behalf with "It's the weather. This is her favorite time of year so she's in a good mood." She was right - so happy it is fall. Might have to run down to Starbucks and get a Caramel Apple Cider/Spice for my ride home tonight. Yum.

Laughter is contagious!

Laughter is contagious! Last night B-man and I were watching 2 different stand up comedian specials via Netflix (the Debate was one and I loathe politics so I needed something funny). Well I found out that laughter really is contagious. . . . yep. B-man and I were laughing really hard at some of the jokes and then I noticed that Smiley was watching us laugh and in turn was laughing too. Too cute and funny.
