I grow a pumpkin/winter squash/gourd patch. It started out only about 1.5 acre, but I cleared another area and just about doubled it. This year I'm trying out some interesting varieties (rareseeds.com). I can't wait to see everything come harvest!!

To be honest, I'm not much of a movie fan. Of those that I like, I enjoy possession themed films (Exorcist/Emily Rose) and the modern day zombie films (28 days later etc)...ya know, the ones where the zombies move more like a leopard and less like a crippled snail.

Extremely varied taste.

I'm a bore...I enjoy non-fiction. Specifically I enjoy reading articles in academic journals (usually in the fields of psych/social work/law). Yup, my husband calls me the fun police.

A scary halloween (with minimal cutsie glitter bats and such). Good acting. An amazing invite that gives people goosebumps from the get go...reads more like a story or news article than a party invite. A worker bee you can count on...but that also has a few ideas him/herself. A plumber (my husband) who has access to endless amounts of PVC!!

Haunts that are all gadgets and no (or just poor) acting. People who refuse to be monsters/zombies/big noses warty witches and insist on wearing the "sexy" costume...especially when that particular person is piggin to begin with. A cute themed halloween party (unless it's for little tiny kiddos, it should be scary). People who can't be found in the months preceeding the party, but suddenly hop in 2 days before and try to run the show. Actors who promise their help, and then are nowhere to be found the day of the haunt.

I'm an almost 30 year old (e-freakin-gads!) stay at home mom to 2 little kiddos (a 3 year old little girl and a 5 month old little boy). I'm happily married to my husband of 5 years whose only flaw is that he hates halloween...er, and he leaves the toilet seat up. I have a bachelors degree in social work, and next year (2008) I'll be applying to grad school.
