Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Wow!  I am the laziest blogger EVER!!!  Sorry for the lack of information...but I have been busy living life and enjoying most minutes of it...

Let's see if I can get you all caught up...

Got serious about being fit this year...started in March with Scale Back Alabama and I continue to work at it...have lost 40 lbs, hit the gym as much as I can and still watch what I eat...I have no clothes that fit me anymore...which is great, except I have no $ to buy new ones and now I kinda look pitiful...buying a few items at a time...will clean out my closet next weekend...

Had a GREAT time in New York this summer...worked hard and played hard...had 4 friends visit over the course of 2 weekends...saw 3 broadway shows...volunteered with the Operation Boathouse group and learned how to kayak and then taught how to kayak in the Hudson River...too much fun!  Lots of hard work in school but ended up with a 4.0 for the summer!  Working on my Master's project now and can't wait to start writing it up!  Working with regular ed students and special ed students in an art club atmosphere...they have paired off to collaborate on art projects of their choosing...it is truly a great project and I LOVE Friday mornings more than anything else!  Morphed the idea from VSA Art Partners program and I'm working with them to develop teacher training materials for professional development opportunities!

School started the 1st week of August this year...we are completing our first 9 week grading period so that means we are 1/4 of the way through the year!

The haunted house season has begun...opening weekend at The Atrox Factory was small but fun...we have many celebrities coming in this year and as you know it is my job to keep them happy...here is the lineup...Scout Taylor Compton from Rob Zombies Halloween Remake.

Next weekend we have Dee Wallace...the mom from ET...she was also in Cujo, The Howling and some Rob Zombie movies...

Then we have Butch Patrick and Lisa Loring...also known as Eddie Munster and Wednesday Adams...they use to date...this should be fun!

Sid Haig is an interesting character...also appears in lots of Rob Zombie movies...












And last but not least, we have Brett Wagner...he was just in The Crazies
and Pass Time...big boy!

Don't let his looks fool you...I hear he is a big ol' teddy bear!


Football season is ROLLing right along and the Tide is strong!  Love, love, love this time of year!

Okay, I guess that gets you caught up with my life...now what is going on with you?

Much love to you all!
