Everyone Feels Like A Monster... Sometimes

So, it was Halloween... it is Halloween, whatever... it's very late on Wednesday night....

I started the day listening to this song... for fun... but it struck a weird chord...

 

What is a "Monster Mask"? I've always had the quote from "The Mask" floating around my head (by always I mean since 1995 or so) - "We all wear masks.... metaphorically speaking..."

Do you ever feel fake? I do... I live in the world, have a wit that leans towards the lecherous.... but I'm also a good Christian girl.... I love boys, I love clothes and above all, I love Jesus... I seem confusing.... most of the time I have my priorities straight... but seriously, I'm practically 30.... boys are supposed to be a focus....

Mmmm.... I must say, Sober October is overs... I decided at dinner that the 31st was good enough... had wine....  then went out for drinks.... I feel uber tipsy.... which might not be the worse thing, as I've not felt like writing in the last few days. Viva La Vino....

How do we find balance? If I say that I want a boyfriend, I get told "you will meet the right guy one day... don't focus on it".... as if I'm desperate.... but then if I say I'm happy and not in the place for anything serious, then I'm asked why I am writing off men? How do I find the balance??? How am I good, yet normal? Normal me says naughty things... because she is sharp....
Do nice Christian boys like girls with good intentions and dirty minds? I really hope so....

anyway... if you made it this far on my blabbing blog post... try my latest obsession, a word scramble.... tell me how many words you get, 3 or more letters while including the middle letter, aim for the (very obvious) 9 letter word....

Halloween Punch... without the punch ;)

Found this under "For Kids" - http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/3099 (again, I just changed the measurements to metric)

Not sure I'd use dry ice.... The idea scares me!

Eerie Witch's Brew
Ingredients:
4 cups Cranberry juice cocktail
1 cup chopped & candied Ginger
3 Orange
350 ml frozen Apple juice concentrate
180 ml frozen Limeade concentrate
2 cups seedless Grapes
4 cups Water
2 l Ginger ale
Mixing instructions:

In a 1 to 2 quart pan, bring 1 cup of cranberry juice and candied ginger to a boil over high heat. Boil, uncovered, about 2 minutes, set aside. With a vegetable peeler, pare peel (colored part only) from oranges: cut peel into thin 2 in long worms: or use an Oriental shredder to make long shreds. Add orange peel to cranberry mixture. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. Juice oranges: put juice in a 6 to 8 quart pan or heavy bowl. Stir in cranberry-ginger mixture, the 3 cups cranberry juice, apple concentrate, limeade, grapes and water. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 hours. Add ginger ale and about a 1 pound piece of dry ice (DO NOT put small pieces in punch or cups): ice should smolder at least 30 minutes. Ladle into cups. Add any remaining ice when bubbling ceases.

Good Clean Halloween :)

Last Halloween got a little hairy for me... so looking forward to redeeming myself this year with some good clean fun. The Zombie Walk from the Company Gardens to the V&A seems like the perfect event AND in aid of a good cause!

30 October · 15:00 - 18:00

So, we're doing Zombie Walk again this year.
We'll meet in Company Gardens and Walk to The V&A Waterfront, dressed as zombies.

Terrorizing pedestrians is encouraged.

It looks like Mitchells is willing to donate 10% of their earnings to charity, the charity we're going to be sponsoring is The Lucky Lucy Foundation. Who take in neglected animals and rehabilitate them, then find them good homes. So come hungry...
