Chris and I stumbled across some pretty ... ehem ... kick-ass bedding today. We now have 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' bedding! (And of course this bedding is fitting for both upcoming holidays- Halloween AND Christmas! Heeeeheee!) 
Halloween and fall decorations have officially taken over the apartment. :P
I have these hanging from the countertop area, aren't they cute?
I have WAY too much fun decorating ... 
This is by the bedroom doorway. Yes, it says "this way to the dungeon." 
A nice little corner display ... 
There's nothing like gravestones and skeletons to make your living room a little more homey feeling. :P 
Fall candles with the scent of pumpkin spice scattered throughout are delightful! 
With all the pumpkins I have everywhere, our place really IS like living inside a pumpkin patch, hehehe. 
A cute Halloween throw blanket for the couch. It's both comfy and cozy ... Chris would know. :P 
And colorful fall leaves around the front door completes the look. :D
Last night I had total crap sleep because first of all it took me FOREVER to fall asleep, and then when I finally DID fall asleep I was plagued by constant horrible nightmares ALL NIGHT that would consistently cause me to wake up drenched in sweat. I bought and watched the dvd 'The Notebook' today. Hopefully that has filled my mind with enough sappy goodness to keep away the bad dreams tonight. :/
So for the past few weeks I've been following this little rule that I made up; every time I buy a new shirt (or any clothing item for that matter,) I have to get rid of an existing item. Because quite frankly, I have a lot of clothes that I don't wear. I just ... have such a hard time getting rid of them! I'm always thinking, I just know that the moment I throw them out I'll want to wear them. (Even though I never do.) This way I'm replacing the old, never used items with new clothes I'll actually wear! Woo hoo! :P
After two years of lusting, I finally bought this today. A beautiful 300-watt, 4.5 qt Kitchenaid stand mixer! (Mine is the reverse of the picture; white with a pink stripe.) I'm so excited to use it! It can mix, whip, kneed dough, and do about a million other things with additional attachments. I figured that I deserved to spend $270 (with tax) on something I could really use as a present to myself for saving $875 from the scholarship I won. Plus, my purchase donated $40 to breast cancer research! :P
After I went on my grand shopping spree, I was feeling so brave that I decided to dye my hair. :P Actually, it really isn't that drastic. It's a light brownish/blonde/red color. Hehehe.
Chris and I saw that new movie "Burn After Reading" with his familia tonight. It was ok. It was entertaining and slightly humorous so I guess it did it's job. :P
And now it's 1:37am and I'm going to bed. :::yawn:::
I've been coming up with more cake ideas! Currently, I'm planning my next "big" cake for next month, which is going to be a "Nightmare Before Christmas" cake in honor of Halloween! :D And for November, I'm thinking of making an R2-D2 cake. But shhhh don't tell anyone, it's a secret. :P
Um um um I beat 'The Nightmare Before Christmas, Oogie's Revenge' the other day. Loved the game, HATED the final boss, lol.
Um um um I made my first tiered cake over the weekend, and it turned out quite well if I do say so myself. :P
Um um um I bought some hair dye, "light reddish brown" over the weekend. We'll see if I have the guts to actually use it soon. :P
Um ... I'm tired. :/
Doing something different with my hair. Like ... coloring it a brownish ... or redish color ... or a brown/red color ... or giving it a slightly different cut ... or ... perhaps both a haircut AND color ... hmmm ...
