Scared-y Cat

In honor of Halloween my HOP blog challenge this week was "What are you, as an adult, still scared of?"   

Alrighty then...

1. Definitely first on the list....CLOWNS.  I'm not picky here, I am scared of clowns in their entirety.   Example #1 the clown in Stephen King's "It".  Hate him, can't watch the movie.  Example #2 - that freaky clown doll in "Poltergeist" - could have watched the movie without his happy little grimacing face.

2. Earthworms - I'm proud to say that after a rain when the worms come out, I will cross the street in fear.  (there, admitting it is the first step right?)

3. Seriously dark rooms - when their is absolutle no light.

4. my computer crashing

5. "Portable" carnival like the ones that are at school and chuch festivals.  "Portable" and "ferris wheel" are two words that just don't work together in my book.

6. That "boat that swings upside down" ride at Busch Gardens.  The Phoenix? Hate it.

Who am I?

Okay, so I posted a prompt at HOP (Who am I? in ten sentences) and everyone seemed to have done it ...except me so far.  Here goes..

I am a wife to my very best friend who supports me in everything I do. I am a mom trying to be the best mom I can be.  I am finding I am sometimes stronger in facing difficulties than I think I am.  I am creative and want to get the best of my creativity "out" to share. I am faithful in God's plan and I'm trying to be closer to Him. I have weakness for hot tea, chocolate, bubble baths and Jane Austen books. I am occasionally stubborn and not good at asking for help.  I am (secretely) planning to live in Disney's Cinderella's castle (just for a day).  I am a scrapbook supply junkie.  I am ready for the rest of this adventerous life!

Simple Pleasures...

Simple pleasures...this was our blog idea from House of Paper for the week. Take one little boy, a handful of "magic monster capsules" and what do you get?  Loads of very simple pleasures. Sometimes, it's just the little things that make the most fun.  I bought these just on a whim, just for fun. (from the Dollar Spot at Target..love that!)    

Ended up they were good for an hour of fun bath time - not bad for a buck! We watched them grow, we guessed what each one would look like, we stirred them up in a sudsy cup, we watched them float.  

   Now the little spongy-y beasties are happily living on the cabinet top...until tomorrow.

Very simple pleasures indeed.
