Just For Fun

Ah, the joys of being easily amused…

I’ve been scarfing down candy and singing a Halloween version of Joan Jett’s I Love Rock ‘n Roll while I do some chores around the house, but in my version the song goes, “I love candy corn!”

I love candy corn;
Put another dime in the jukebox, baby.
I love candy corn;
So come and take your time and dance with me!

Philosophy’s I Love Candy Corn Shower and Bath Gel put the idea in my head.

It smells exactly like (yup, you guessed it) candy corn. 🙂

If you’re a fan of this tri-colored confection, enter this weekend’s Halloween giveaway.

Happy Halloween, ghouls! Are you stoked about tonight?

I know it’s mostly for the kids, but I feel like a kid on Halloween (which works out well) — and not just because of the candy (Mmm… Snickers) or the spooky-yet-harmless sense of danger, either. I support any day in which it’s socially acceptable to wear sequins, feathers, a tail and/or a headdress to the grocery store. 🙂

I’m still not sure about my plans tonight (Tabs was invited to a costume party), but I got some Halloween candy for trick or treaters just in case.

Right now I’m surfing the interwebz and just chillin’ here at my desk with my morning coffee. The fog must have rolled in last night because it’s very Sleepy Hollow outside…

Morning, ladies. Looks like we made it to Friday. 🙂

Did you do anything fun last night? I didn’t do much, but I did go to a movie with El Hub. We saw Paranormal Activity, the new Blair Witchy (because it’s also filmed with a shaky camera) horror flick.

Maybe because of the way it’s filmed (almost like a grainy YouTube video), it scared the bejeezus out of me, but one of the main characters (the boyfriend) kept tempting fate and driving me nuts!

While I pound my coffee to jump start some neurons, let’s see what the girls in Daily Makeover’s Beauty Bloggerati have been up to this week…
