I love Halloween. Doesn't everyone? I am a big ol' chicken though. I can't watch truly scary movies. (The last straw was actually the movie Halloween when I was 16. I've never been the same.) So, here's a list of ten movies I love to watch during the Halloween season that aren't really scary. More like creepy. Or spooky. Or just atmospheric. Or something else.


1.  Sleepy Hollow
2.  Nightmare Before Christmas
3.  The Addams Family
4.  Practical Magic
5.  Beetlejuice
6.  Corpse Bride
7.  The Ghost and Mr Chicken
8.  Bedknobs & Broomsticks
9.  Bram Stoker's Dracula
10. Rebecca

1.  I've started going to yoga with my sister twice a week. I hate getting there, but I love it once I'm there. (I wrote this one a couple weeks ago. I have missed some classes but still trying to get there.)

2.  Sepia is a dark brown-gray color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish Sepia. I love learning things.

3.  If your path is more difficult, it is because your calling is higher. I don't know if this is true, but it makes me feel a little better.

4.  What good is feeling a thing if you can't express it? What good is it to feel beauty if you can't express it  through words or art or music? Is it enough just to feel it?

5.  Why do I have to be so competitive? I hate it. It ruins things for me. Even with bjds, I can get that way. I have to avoid the forums until the feeling passes.

6.  I need and want to adopt this philosophy:  “I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing that I wanted to do.”
— Georgia O’Keeffe

7.  The best compliment ever: "Your blog makes me feel like a thirteen year old girl who has just met their older brother’s gorgeous, cool, mysterious girlfriend."

8.  I like dogs with long snouts. (I like big snouts and I cannot lie.)

9.  I am much overwhelmed by everything today: good and bad.

10.  Summer is officially over! Happy Autumn!
