My Halloween Nightmare

EVERY SINGLE DAY last week I had to get up extra-early for some reason or other. Which means feeling sleep-deprived for hours. Then not being able to sleep. Sleeping deeply. Then getting woken up too early and feeling sleep-deprived again. You know the pattern.

So come the weekend and no need to get up, of course I slept in, dreaming for hours. And because I ever so intelligently watched a Halloween horror film on Friday night my night was full of ghouls and demonic terrors.

What makes this a hundred times worse is that somehow, when I was younger, I learned not only to speak in my sleep but to yell and scream. Which means one single nightmare can wake the entire house. Yes, lovely business. I'm only posting this because I've nothing else to say. O yeah: and it's raining...

    Remember that Janet Jackson tune with "Joni Mitchell never lied"...

    I used to sing:

    Where has my old nose gone?
    I look like a sinister a-li-en...

    I scream in my sleep too. Wakes them all up! Luckily it only happens like twice a year.

    I have seen those half baked cookies. I bet you could google it to get the recipe. Sorry I do not have it. I think your thinking of the ones that are make with melted chocolate and oats that you refrigerate to harden? I saw the recipe on someones blog a couple weeks ago. I can't remember where :-(

    Rain in Ohio this week too!!!

    Gawd, that picture of the vampire spun me right bsck to the book I've just finished reading, "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. Not really my thing, but people were raving about it, so out of curiosity I read it. Ho hum, it was a story I guess. Give me a good James Patterson murder any day...

    Syd: indeed!

    40: the supermarkets started selling them a few years ago but I'd never seen them before that. I think they were an American idea...

    PussInBoots: I've never read James Patterson...
