In the spirit of Halloween, this week's song:

Grim Grinning Ghosts
Disney Villians

***

I remember this on the start of a Halloween movie when I was a little kid, and it still reminds me of all of those Halloweens that I loved.  My mother knows how to do Halloween, and her love of it has been passed down to me.

So Happy Halloween, what are you guys listening to to put you in the mood?

P.S. If anyone links up Christmas Music, I will hate you.  Just sayin'... lol

Fun & Easy Halloween Layered Dip

Are you going to a Halloween party and need a fun and easy thing to make?  Maybe it's last minute and you have little time to prep?  I have a great idea for you.  Granted, it'd probably be better if you homemade each of the ingredients, but if you are short on time you can find pretty good store bought solutions that work.

I made this for my work Halloween party.

What you'll need:

• 1 large can Refried Beans.  I got Kroger brand Mexi style beans for $1.29 a can.
• 1 can Olives - Kroger brand $1.29 a can.
• Salsa - 1 container Wholly Salsa $2.50
• Guacamole - 1 box Wholly Guacamole $2.50
• 1 container Sour Cream - Kroger brand $1
• Chips! Don Julio - $1 per bag.

I added a little bit of Cotija cheese.  It was yummy.

Total cost: $9.58

Amount: 2 Plates of Dip.

On two serving dishes, pile on a layer beans, then a layer of cheese (if chosen), a layer of salsa, a layer of guacamole and then it's time for the decoration.

For the Sour Cream, you can use a frosting bag, but for a cheaper easier method you can use plastic bag with a frosting tip in it, or just cut off the corner.  Use it to make a spider web design.

Then use little olives as the spiders. One for the body, and then cut one up into 8 strips for the legs.  

    

Confession: I love my makeup.

I Confess...
I have no motivation for work today.  Everyone is in costume, there are goodies, and my calendar just reminded me that I actually had the day off... Haha-Oh well I guess.  :P

I Confess...
I may or may not have been 20 minutes late for work because my makeup took forever to put on. But I look schmexy.

I Confess...
When it's 10:30pm and someone knocks on your door, you kind of think someone is there to kill you.

I Confess...
I opened the door to find the guy I'm dating (I really need a nickname for him or something) standing there completely unexpected.  My first surprise was quickly followed by being self conscious because I looked grungy-but he didn't seem to care too much.


I Confess...
I was totally making my hat last minute when he showed up.

I Confess...
It may have been a bigger deal to me that he stopped by just to see me than it was him.  He was only there a few minutes, enough to give me a hug and kiss and ask how my day was, and he says "It was nothing. I was in the area." However for me, I've never really had anyone I'm dating go out of their way to just stop by to see how my day was.  It's adorable.  I am in awe.

I Confess...
I think he's really adorable and today I'm missing him.  This is a really weird thing for me to feel-not really used to dating someone and having it be more than a few dates.  I'm liking it, don't get me wrong-just adjusting.  :) So far, he's pretty great.

I Confess...
I made a cute Halloween layered dip for the work party, and it turned out soooo good.  It was easy too.  I'll have to post a recipe soon.

I Confess...
I love this dress.  Love love love.  Though I don't love my face in this pic... haha

What are you confessing today?
