Hello me darlin’s. There is nothing more disturbing as having to identify your friend or loved one from the morgue. Trying to recognize their special freckle, scar or tattoo through a mangled body. Not a pretty picture is it?
So why would you want to put your loved ones through this? Better yet, why would you expect them to bail you out of jail because you decided you were not that drunk or high and could drive. You come out of your stupor with not only a hangover but behind bars and labeled a murderer.

Drama queening over. My Birthday is Sunday, which is New Years and my wish is for you all to be safe and have a blast!!! Find your designated driver now, save up your cab fair or find out if they are offering free fares that evening. I wanna hear about your awesome times or quiet evenings at home with friends. Don’t blow it…. plan ahead! Most of all… watch out for all the idiots that think they aren’t too drunk to drive. Call them in if you see them on the roads.

Love you guys!

It is time for the vampire’s and night lovers here in Alaska. In Anchorage our day today will have 5hr 27m 38s of daylight and the sun, at it’s highest, is only 6% above the horizon.

Hope Y’all have a safe and happy Solstice today!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope your bellies are full and your day is awesome!

Don’t forget to cook your Turkeys appropriately… they may just come back to kill you…

October is here… I would say finally but I’m just not feeling it this year. I have no intentions of decorating the office this year and people are going to go into shock.
Maybe I’m just dreading the coming winter and it’s put me into an apathetic mood. I know I can’t avoid it and should just go with the flow… but when you hate cold colorless snowy winters and you live in Alaska, makes it difficult to find a flow to go with.

Ah well… maybe the closer we get to Halloween the better my mood will get.

I saw this on Facebook and it hit home so much I decided to Blog it. Thanks to Chris Davis, the person that created the list below has been found. Clicking on the image below will take you to original post by Keri Smith.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is the title. It went on sale in June and can be found on Amazon. I won’t tell you what the story is about but instead you should watch this YouTube video. I fell in love with the decay in the video and only wish I could see it for myself…Belgium is so far away.

I’m playing around with Google+. As it becomes more available I will post my profile info so that you can Circle me. Heh…Circle me. Sounds a bit crude!

I have no clue how it fixed itself but it broke because I decided to add some security. Security that changes a bunch of file structures, changes that you should do when your first setting up the blog…not two years into it.

It would have gone smoothly if my permissions were set on my SQL database correctly. I called Lunarpages and they fixed the permissions for me. Got the website back but all the posts were gone. So I changed a file, added back in, broke it again. Changed the same file to how it should be, added it back in and Walla… it fixed itself…. not sure how, but it’s working.

I updated this here website’s header. Some of you may wonder what is going on, or that you like the other house better.

Here be the story… First of I found out that the house that I had used in the header was actually art done by an Etsy artist. I had found the picture online and when I found it there was no association to it being art and instead looked like clipart. Once I realized that it looked rather stolen, I set out to find a suitable house and instead made, from scratch, the house you now see on the site.

Reason number two… I will be opening a website called The Whimsy Attic for selling me art pieces and the occasional piece by my Mom. I wanted a tie in to Boo Spooky, so I decided to use the same house as the tie in. I’m still working on that website design…

Now the bummer… I ordered business cards for Boo Spooky and it has the old house on it. Heh! I think I will now order a new set of cards for The Whimsy Attic instead and put a note that states Boo Spooky as the blog. Or something….

Give me feedback on the new design. I take criticism well, so fire away.

Today is the day my only full bath gets a remodel. I’m excited! This is one of the major steps in getting this house ready to be sold. Even though the time line for a full remodel is a couple of years away, it represents the ability to one day move to the states. Yea!!!!!

So the Etsy store is coming along. I have the logo for The Whimsy Attic to finish and it will have a tie in to my Boo Spooky logo above. Going to work on it this week while I’m off from work.
The other projects I need to finish is to refinish a medicine cabinet for the new bath,  get a photobox built for taking photos of the artlings and to figure out how to setup the secondary website for The Whimsy Attic.
