I'll admit to you: Christmas and Easter have secular beginnings, too, but Christ is celebrated! Halloween, in its' current fashion, clearly epitomizes evil!
Clearly!
My hypocrisy is evident. An avid horror fan, I watch gruesome movies without fear, the fictional brutal ends and circumstances justifying my fetish; otherwise, my screams and worries would be heard by all!*__* I don't know why I am drawn to them. Perhaps the fact that most horror flicks have a cautionary tale to tell, strongly recommending the potential victims to take heed! Similar to real life, it amazes me how many people willingly walk into danger when they can choose a safer path. From a wee youngin', I could relate to that message, watching Monsters, Tales From the Darkside and my favorite, Friday the 13th: THE SERIES on channel 20.
WDCA for my DC folks; remember that late 80s Saturday lineup?*__*
But I do have my limits: no soul transference and/or soul tampering movies! For an example, The Exorcist. I have seen it once, and once ONLY! I used to walk those infamous stairs in Georgetown all the time! After that movie, I walk by with a quickness! Why? Well, upon seeing the movie, months later, I felt like something was trying to possess me! It was the first time that I understood what my grandmother meant when she said, "Not to play with the devil's toys for you will get burnt!" **
Indeed!
By the way, no need to call the psychiatrist or psychologist. No need to label me as demented. If you're not in tune with your third eye, that's not my problem. But, Have mercy Jesus!, it's yours...
So, it's Halloween night and I should be at the Wizards vs. Nets game. Instead, I'm watching it as I sit next to my husband in his sleep shirt. Ah, the joys of being happily married!LOL I'm not too bummed about it. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't attend my friend's surprise costume and b-day party (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHICO), but Tina Turner can wait; I have legs for days and can rock her look next year!*__~
Kylie can't, and when I heard my baby sniffling and expressing to me her stomach pains, well, I took action, which meant me being stationary. Three weeks of planning all for naught, and I'll do it again: Kylie is my priority! The one thing I make sure I do right is being a good parent. No excuses! Growing up, I watched my parents make HUGE sacrifices for me and my siblings. And it has and will be an honor for me and Ed to do the same.
I wish more parents do the same for their children!
Anyways, I am more worried about Kylie's disappointment. She was supposed to attend her class costume party. Snow White never looked so pretty!
The Real Snow White *__*
However, one of her classmates has the swine flu! Oh, Sweet Jesus! My panicked state didn't help matters; who can blame me?! After all, this is nothing but a WORLDWIDE epidemic?! So Ed and I took the necessary precautions. And she's fine. We have the medicine and are taking preventative measures to ensure this doesn't get out of hand. And of course, her classmate is being treated in the privacy of her own home and has not been in school.
Thank God! I hate when people bring their children sick to school! Spreading germs and sickness amongst others is so not cool! I am so thankful that all parents involved are mature and supportive of all the kids, doing whatever is necessary to quell this flu.
I also have to thank my dear Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Joyce for being so supportive during this time! Running me around while we get our car fixed ain't no easy task.LOL I love ya'll so much!
And wouldn't you know it? Kylie is in her costume, bouncing up and down as she sings along to Phineas and Ferb. I'll assume she's ok. It was just a tummy ache. That's it. That's all. PRAISE JESUS! And she wasn't too upset about missing her party or the mall festivities. Spending time with us suited her just fine! Ed and I smiled at her and sung along with her. It was a good night after all: the Wizards won, Kylie wasn't sick and my hubby was just happy to see the games!LOL
Me?
Making sure I preserve my mini and pumps for next year, so I'll be ready to shake a tail feather in rare form! What about the wig, you say? No need for it: I wake up with big hair every morning; so the look will suffice!LOL
Be safe, ya'll!*__*
I know it's "burned" but the ol' school said "burnt", so I will, too! Matter of fact, doesn't the consequences sound graver when you say "burnt"?LOL Thanks, Grandma! Still loving and missing you, and heeding your awesome advice!*__*
