So what does it mean when it’s November and I still have posts from September sitting on my front page? Still not all that excited to blog I guess. It has now been over a week since some of my Ohio friends came out and we all went haunt hopping. It’s a little late to […]

WHEW! I have to admit that we totally overdid it on Halloween, but in a good way – at one point in the evening, my 5-year-old said “how many parties are we going to?!? We threw a Halloween-themed game night on Friday, complete with things like spider venom, truth serum, and rat vomit for drinks

Unless of course you are reading from some part of the world which is still living in October 31st. My holiday was EXCELLENT even with the working part. Friday, I got into my vampire costume complete with double-layered cape, full facial makeup, tuxedo, the whole nine yards. I even got to frighten my young nieces.

Ran into some old friends/former co-workers and chatted a bit and caught up and let them know that I have not completely
Ok, so who had a haunted house in their neighborhood when they were a kid? For us, it was a haunted road located in a Chicago suburb about 15 minutes away from ours. Actually, my group of friends were from a few different area high schools, and we had all heard of Munger Road from

Autumn brings about a whole new breed of fun family things to do: pumpkin farms, hay rides, apple picking, playing in the leaves, corn mazes, haunted houses… the list goes on and on. A few weeks ago, during a visit to a local farm which boasts such fun fall activities as a corn maze, petting
Just in time for the Halloween season, as I mull over costume choices for myself and my two youngest, haunted places have come up in conversations recently. These recent topics have reminded me of a few such places in Lincoln Nebraska… Back when we were a little family with only one toddler, we lived in
As has been the trend lately, they are going to remake a popular horror movie from my youth – Nightmare On Elm Street. When the movie came out in 1984, I was too young (and scared) to watch it, but the main character, Freddy Krueger, was everywhere. Everyone wanted to be Freddy for Halloween, and

Have I yet posted on the coincidence involved in the Halloween movie franchise (at least the original 1978 movie)? Well… if so, I apologize. It seems that during the 3 year run of the original Star Trek series, William Shatner was fitted for a death mask. Perhaps if the series had continued on the Enterprise’s

Last night was the first night we have been on the Huber stage. I have been in the audience to watch a production of School House Rock, Jr (think I’ve mentioned that before). However, stepping onto the stage was something else entirely. An actual stage raised above the audience with an orchestra pit beneath. Even
