Costume update......
Okay........
Last night, I got the tulle nightmare out of it's bag and gave it a hefty steaming in the shower.......
I am happy to report that I am no longer 5 feet around. It's still rather puffy and I think I look more like a ballerina than a fairy.....but oh well....so be it...problem 1 solved. I'm not gonna complain =) !!! I have brought in the cute little ribbons and flowers to girl at work who is going to sew them on for me =)......that would be problem 2 solved......Yippee!!! Problem 3 - my shoes matching- ended up a perfect match!!!! I was all freaked out for nada!!!! Seems everything is FINALLY working out for a change!!!
I don't think there is anything in the world that can bring me down any time soon........... =) =) =)
I'll be sure to post pics from the party so you can all envy my fancy little costume :).............

HELP!!!
Okay.....so today I got the Halloween costume that I ordered..........
Ummm.........
To the LEFT is what it's supposed to look like...cute enough, huh??
What I got resembles this cute little outfit, but not entirely.......Let me tell you what the few little issues I have are:
First of all.....the sweet little skirt picture here looks clean and straight.
Mine - looks like crap. I put it on and it makes a five foot round poof. Not so cute. Any ideas on how to make the balloon of tulle a little not so huge would be greatly appreciated.
Secondly.....the lovely ribbon and flower attached so neatly at the waist......
Mine - Shoved in a bag, flat as can be and did I mention "not attached"...problem...I can't sew.....Any ideas???
Thirdly....Let's talk about the wings....perfect match in the picture, huh???
Mine - I have never seen so many different shades of purple all shoved together before....my little ballet slippers I bought to match....well....THEY DON'T!!!
It really looks like a big pink, blue, and purple nightmare
=( !!!
I have exactly 3 days to make this pile of crap they sent me look like a costume......ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
I am just a tad upset because this happens to be a night that I want to look good......it's important to me.
Sorry this is so short, I'm actually working today!!! Sheila - please don't have a heart attack, I know it's hard for you to believe!!!

Didn't know that!!!
Several people who have lived in the home have reported very similar experiences with the ghosts of this house. An apparition of an old woman, dressed in black has frightened children that have lived in the home, by trying to hit them with a broom. The apparition of Henry Gehm appeared to a former resident for the purpose of leading her to a hidden space in the attic. The ghost of a little blond girl has been sighted in the attic and an almost transparent white entity has been seen in an upstairs bedroom. Other activity in the home includes sounds of things hitting the windows, hammering on headboards, sounds of children running on the staircase, shaking of beds, footsteps in the attic, etc. Some people believe that the home also contains an evil inhuman presence.
In 1956 the home was purchased by the Fury family, then in 1965 the Walsh family moved into the home. The house is still a private residence.
Location: 300 block of Plant Ave.
An employee reported seeing strange shadows while working in the laundry at night. The building is believed to be haunted by the ghost of a little girl named Aggie, who died on the property. The story says that while playing in a barn on the property, some time ago, the girl fell from a window and died. The little girl is said to be playful and likes to peek around corners at people. There are reports of Aggie’s apparition seen running the halls and she sometimes appears in the banquet hall mirror. Supposedly there is a painting of Aggie hanging in the hallway that she visits most often.
Legend says that at midnight the apparitions of a man and woman can be seen walking hand in hand across the railroad crossing at the old Hwy. The couple was supposedly killed when a train at this crossing struck their car.
Location: From I- 55 take Old Hwy. A west for approx. 2 miles to the railroad crossing.
Rumor has it that many years ago most if not the entire town was wiped out by a horrible epidemic. It is reported that the souls of the towns’ people never moved on. Witnesses say that you can still here the sounds of ghostly children at play here.

New Addition!!
Guess what I did this weekend!!! I decided to make a trip to the local animal shelter just to see what was there.........Well......I fell in love with my new little addition!!! Now there are three girls in my little apartment!!! I took a few quick pics, but I promise better ones to come. So far everyone gets along!!! I haven't quite figured out a name for her, but I keep calling her "Lil' Miss". I ran into Sheila's sis Toni the day I got her, she was buying Miss Marley a harness(Marley is Toni's kitty)!!!
Not such a great pic, I know =)
Believe it or not, she's 6 months old and weighs less than 6 lbs!! vet says she's gonna be REALLY tiny!!!

Whoo Hoo!!!
OK!!!! So last night was an ABSOLUTE blast!!! I went to Gateway International Raceway!!! Seems that on certain Fridays during racing season, they have what is called "MIDNIGHT MADNESS"!!! For those of you who don't know...
MIDNIGHT MADNESS is any Tom, Dick, or Harry that wants to take his machine to the track and either amaze people with it's performance or make people laugh, wondering -
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT GUY THINKING????
So I took some pics to share with you!!!
Watch 'em wait!!!
This car was HOTT!!!
SWEETEST car on the track!!
This guy pulled a 1/4 mile in 9.6 seconds!!
This car was pretty damn awesome too!!!
Better luck next time!!!
I really think I could go watch this stuff every night!! Too bad.....I think last night was the last one =(......
It's really quite a concept they have there:
Pay $20.00 to race - $10.00 to watch
Bring your own beer or drinks
Bring your own food
Have a good time
Listen to LOTS of bands
Stay out of trouble!!
OHHH!!! I forgot to mention.....they had "drifting" set up in the corner of the parking lot.....if you don't know what it is...I recommend you watch "Fast and Furious 2 - Tokyo Drift"........I'll also say that what I saw there didn't even resemble drifting. It was more like dummies doing donuts and almost smacking the wall....it was pretty hilarious......
I wish they would have had stuff like this when I was younger....I bet a lot of my friends would have stayed out of trouble!!!!
I highly recommend if you get the chance to go ......or you have a "need for speed", you go and check it out!!!
