Wednesday Hodgepodge
1. What creeps you out?
I never want to stay the night alone at my mom’s house… She lives in the middle of nowhere. No one would hear my screams!
2. What’s your least favorite candy?
I don’t like anything with nuts, like Snickers.
3. Are you a fan of scary movies? What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
I like some… Those that are classic or cheesy, not just gory. Not sure about the scariest… Maybe The Shining?
4. What part of life confuses you the most?
Ummmmm, I’m not really confused…
5. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy… What’s your favorite seed?
Sunflower!
6. Imagine your life ten years from today… What’s changed?
I am settled into my dream career, with either a husband or an adopted baby. 🙂
7. What do you a) love the most and b) like the least about the Hodgepodge?
The questions are always pretty unique so I usually participate every week… And I like that #8 is always a random thought. And the wonderful hostess comments on my post every week. 🙂 Nothing not to like!
8. Insert your own random thought here.
My job interview was today… I think it went pretty well but fingers crossed!!

Chats on the Farmhouse Porch
1. How are you when there is a storm?
I’ve never been in a crazy storm (hurricane, tornado, etc.) but I think I’d be pretty calm.
2. Are you doing anything special in November?
HOPEFULLY accepting a job position but still getting to go to my cousin’s wedding in Florida!
3. Do you wear glasses or contacts?
Glasses… Contacts freak me out.
4. Salty snacks or sweets?
Both, but usually salty.
5. Who would you bring to the farm with you for a chat, a tour, or perhaps a visit with Wendell?
My cats Diesel and Riley… They would love the great outdoors.
Monday Quiz About Me
1. Do you consider Halloween a holiday for children or adults?
Both! I don’t like that Halloween is not as popular for kids anymore. It’s an awesome holiday! Kids should get to dress up and go trick-or-treating, while the adults go to haunted houses and parties.
2. At what age should children stop trick or treating?
Never. 🙂
3. What are your plans for Halloween?
Well I already celebrated three nights in a row (haunted house on Thursday, parties on Friday and Saturday) so I think I’m done. But I might go trick-or-treating with a friend and her son if it’s not too cold.
4. What frightens you?
A lot of things… Pain, public speaking, horses, saunas.
Bonus question for blog hoppers to answer:
5. Do you ever go to your local library… Or do you buy books at bookstores?
Weekend Update
This weekend was full of Halloween parties! Friday night my friend Adrienne and her boyfriend Wes had one at their apartment.
Cindy was a gypsy, I was a devil, and Adrienne was a dead bride
Wes was a homeless monster… ??
Raquel was Fiona
Jim was a “sexy” speed skater
Jane as the “not impressed” McKayla Maroney
Saturday night was another Halloween party… There was an awesome “Gangnam Style” dance contest. Then we went clubbin’ in downtown Asheville at Pack’s Tavern and Arcade.
I was a flapper!
Walter and The Dude from The Big Lebowski
these ladies were a sandwich but they took their bread off for the dance competition 🙂

Sunday Social
1. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?
I was the Bride of Frankenstein once, which was awesome. I had my hair sticking up with clothes hangers. No photo unfortunately. 😦
2. If you could go back and dress up as something, what would it be?
I have plenty of years ahead of me to dress up, and plenty of ideas, so I don’t need to go back! Ideas taken from this weekend that I want to dress up as in the future are a sugar skull and Brynn from Bridesmaids.
3. Favorite costume as an adult?
I think the best was Mario. But I enjoyed being a devil and a flapper this year.
4. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
I like Nerds, M&Ms, Skittles, and Reese’s Cups.
5. What is your favorite Halloween memory?
Halloween as a kid was awesome: we had a carnival at school and then we trick-or-treated for hours!!
6. What’s your favorite scary movie?
I love the Scream series.

Only on an airplane to exotic locales…

Probably.

4. What will trick-or-treaters get when they come to your front door?
They won’t come… I live in the middle of nowhere.
5. Did you ever TP a neighbor’s house or indulge in other acts of Halloween vandalism as a kid? (Don’t worry, that statute of limitations is up.)
We put paper confetti in yards and political stickers on windows.

Both!!

The Friday 56
- Grab a book, any book.
- Turn to page 56.
- Find any sentence (or a few, just don’t spoil it) that grabs you.
“And finally he starts talking about all of the family’s secrets, like how cousin so-and-so ‘knocked up’ that waitress from the Big Boy.”
–The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Bloggy Book Club
What book has changed your life?
I always feel silly when I tell this story, but the book American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld (a fictional account of Laura Bush’s life) made me realize I should be a librarian. So I went back to school to get my MLIS and now I have an interview for a children’s librarian position next week!
