halloween 2009

  • eyeball jar
    the theme for '09 was "the bride of frankenstein/mad scientist lab". we created the lab inside the garage because the weather was rainy. it was a lot easier because that gave us more time for set up than when it is all outside. we were able to set up with the door down and raise it for 'showtime'. a lot of people felt this was a scary year, but we didn't think it was as scary as previous years. maybe we are jaded?

Halloween 2008

  • Chop shop
    the creepy cafeteria and the bone chilling butcher shop were our themes this year. we served up candy and popcorn as treats but it was the show most people came for - and what a show it was.....click on the thumbnails to see a full photo and caption

halloween 2007

  • closeup of samuel
    some pics from halloween at the smart house. this year we did a scarecrow theme with hay covering the front yard and a row of cornstalks set up. the trick/treaters had to pass the zombie farmgirl and scarecrow, then head up the row past me (as another scarecrow) to get to sam and samuel for the candy....we set up a strobe/fog machine in the center to add to the spooky factor. it was a huge success, we had probably 150-200 kids come through....

halloween 2006

  • grim reaper
    photos of our spooky house on halloween night. i like to make a lot of our effects and props to keep costs down and add to the originality. plus then if i decide to change it out, i don't feel guilty for spending a lot of money. keeps my creative goth side busy....

i'm not dead yet....

think i'll go for a walk.....literally (apologies to python people)

i have been really swamped since school let out and here we are again - back in school with projects galore!

spent the summer getting into walking (i walked 100 miles during my time at the beach - yeah for me!).... i also started doing yoga and pilates (i am super flexible but seriously lacking in the balance dept). i have learned to embrace exercise in many different forms but still shun aerobics (all that bouncing and leaping...not to mention the fact that my lack of rhythm renders me hopelessly confused on even a simple grapevine step). in addition i have totally changed my eating habits - i have become one of those people i used to make fun of! i eat healthy, a lot of organic and almost no processed foods. add that to giving up sugar over a year ago and it makes for a chick who is no fun at pot lucks (ha!). i have been losing weight again, after a year long plateau...thanks to exercise but also the wise advice of my physical therapist (knee surgery in feb). he told me i wasn't losing weight because i wasn't eating enough. seriously, how funny is that? i was not taking in enough calories to cover my basal metabolic rate so my body went into starvation mode....gruesome huh? so i have increased my intake but not indulging...things are moving along slowly.  as of today i am up to around 65 pounds lost, only 35 or so to go....to celebrate i got my nose pierced (yeah, i am a rebel)

i have been working on some creative stuff....will post soon....i promise....
