HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Trader Joe's pumpkin pancakes (I highly suggest going to buy the mix) and Trader Joe's Vanilla and Cinnamon black tea (buy this too).  Perfect Halloween brekkie!




My baby at Halloween "Yappy Hour" at the Ritz Carlton.



And lastly...a few Haunted House pics...



AFG the scarecrow in the Corn Maze.




HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween Booze



Pinot Noir with a crystal skull stopper and a Shipyard beer by spider candlelight (that's a spider votive holder)?  Perfection.

Drawing Inspiration for Halloween


I feel like I am the only one...but I'm not really ready for Christmas yet.  I have Halloween on the brain because, well DUH, it hasn't even happened yet.  I'm in a haunted house (again) this year that is put on and accepts donations for Laura's House.  It's lots of fun..last year AFG and I were zombies the first night and then I was a creepy doll in the clown house the second night.  Looking forward to seeing what this year brings!

Last year...






What is inspiring me...

 
Hocus Pocus...SJP is fan-freaking-tastic in thismovie.
 


I'd like to be this, although it's over $100 and I'm actually playing a Salem witch in the haunted house this year (I will be channeling SJP and NOT some ugly wench with a wart on her nose thank you very much).  I love Bridget from The Girls Next Door, she is my FAVE and now she has her own costume line...check it out here - Bridget by Roma.

I was envisioning myself a french maid and AFG a butler with a topcat, cane and monocle.  He wants a cane regardless.  He apparently is channeling this...

I love Scott Disick, yes he may be a complete goon but I think he's highly entertaining.

Speaking of haunted houses, looking at Grandid Road's Halloween Haven makes me wish I owned a big house with lots of space and had lots of money to throw an amazing Halloween party...sighhhhhh, one day.

 I would like my living room/mantle to look like this please:



Is there anything that really gets you in the Halloween spirit like Haunted Mansion Holiday at the Happiest Place on Earth aka Disneyland?  NOPE.  There's not.  I had the pleasure of going this past Sunday night and it was as fab as ever.

Lastly, I will finally be carving a pumpkin this week and instead of doing my usual Jack Skellington face, I'm debating a bat.  Drawing inspiration from my recent trip to Austin, TX where I watched the bats emerge on their nightly conquest from the Congress Ave. bridge.  Yes- you heard me.  There are 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats living under the Congress bridge in Austin and they fly off into the dusk everynight and eat like a billion insects or something like that.  I was lucky to have caught a glimpse of them as it was early October and they migrate to Mexico in the winter.




yep, that's a dead one on my friend's patio...just to get you up close and personal.
