I Have A Confession...

I am a Halloween Scrooge. 

I have never liked Halloween. Not ever.  That's not to say I haven't had some good Halloweens. There have certainly been years that turned out not to be the worst thing ever, but I really just hate Halloween.

In Utah it's always really cold by the end of October. Trick-or-treating was miserable. I don't even like candy. It hurts my teeth. The only thing I ever looked forward to was eating chili with saltine crackers at my grandpa's house each year. 

And I'd watch Hocus Pocus too. That's alright with me.

It looks like I'm not the only one that doesn't like Halloween. Erin from Living In Yellow has created a link up for today dedicated to all of the things that we would rather be doing than celebrating Halloween.

I would so much rather be...

1. Working out!  The gym is going to be deserted today.  The gym on campus is very crowded with people who do not know how to work out that do more socializing that actual working out. They take up space and make my work out more difficult...They won't be there tonight!

2.  Painting my nails. I'm a compulsive nail-painter. My nails are a different color each week. When I got to paint my nails for the first time after basic training it was like I had just had my first sip of regular coke after drinking diet for half of my life...

3.  Playing Candy Crush. I would far rather play this game where I crush candies and not eat them. But unfortunately I need someone to send me some tickets before I can do anymore candy crushing...

4. Making bitstips comics. Yep. That's real life. I downloaded bitstrips. It's totally a thing and it's actually  quite fun to create overly-dramatic comics of myself.

5. Pinning.  I have been doing an outrageous amount of pinning lately. I'm looking forward to my hair growing out, having a kitchen to cook in, and my new blog at the start of the new year!

Speaking of pinning...have you pinned it to win it?

The Ghost of Halloweens Past

Before I launch into the Sunday Social this morning, I would first like to Congratulate Kim for winning my DefineBliss 50 Followers (now 62!) Giveaway. I will be contacting you by email shortly! I hope I don't lose any new friends now that it's over! Also, if you read my last post you read a few things that I want. The last one was a computer...Well, Last night, I randomly decided to make a gigantic purchase and buy a laptop! Crazy right?! I'm blogging from it right now and I am so excited about it!

 

But now, onward to the Sunday Social.  You can head over to Neely's blog, A Complete Waste of Makeup and link up too!

 

1. Favorite Halloween costume as a kid?

I went as a gypsy in the first grade. I got this awesome silky dress thing that I wore as jammies for several years after that. I thought I was so awesome. Sadly, I don't have a clue where I would find any pictures of this...But I seriously wore that costume forever...Definitely my favorite.

 

2. If I could go back a dress up as something I didn't before?

I would dress up as a Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I love Buffy. She's basically my hero, but I was a little young to watch it, so I wouldn't have wanted to dress as her, but how cool would that have been?!

 

3. Favorite costume as an adult?

I'm a total Halloween Scrooge and I always have been.  It was always cold when it came time to trick-or-treat, candy has always hurt my teeth, I don't like to be scared and I'm not much of a partier...Basically, I don't like Halloween. But this year, I decided to go out and have some fun on Friday night I even dressed up if you can believe that!

Seems how this is the first year that I've dressed up as an "adult" this is my favorite costume!

4. Favorite Halloween candy?

Smarties. Hands down, Smarties are my favorite Halloween candy. I will trade every candy but my Almond Joys and Hershey bars for Smarties...I'm a weirdo, because they're like the dumbest candy ever, but they're my fave.

 

5. Best Halloween Memory?

I don't really have a specific favorite Halloween memory, but my favorite Halloween tradition we have is we go to my grandpa's house and eat chili while all the kids trick-or-treat all over the neighborhood. It's always so fun to hang out, eat too much chili and watch random crap on TV and laugh about old memories.

 

6. Favorite scary movie?

I hate scary movies. So instead, I'm going to tell you my favorite Halloween movies. I have two.

Hocus Pocus...Oh man I love Hocus Pocus

Double Double Toil and Trouble

Growing up, we watched this Mary-Kate and Ashley movie all the time around Halloween. We were nuts for it.

 

And that concludes the Sunday Social for today! I'm going to play with my new computer and eat some pizza rolls from my PK (personal kitchen...) hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
