DID YOU KNOW that you don't need to buy microwave popcorn in order to have microwave popcorn? It's true! Get a medium sized microwave-safe bowl, put a handful of regular popcorn in there and put a plate on top. Push the popcorn button on your microwave, and in a few minutes you have hot, delicious, plain popcorn. It's ridiculously easy.
My ridiculous five:
1. Conference. What a relaxing, perfect weekend!
2. Getting together with my sisters and mom. ALWAYS fun, relaxing, entertaining, etc. And our kids get along so well.
3. My husband going through his "Box o' Stuff" with me. You know the one: you move out of the house and your mom gives you all the stuff she's saved for you over the years. It was fun to see his old schoolwork and awards and stuff.
4. Chocolate. Not that I have any to eat or anything. But I sure am grateful for it. I'd be ESPECIALLY grateful for some if I had it RIGHT NOW.
But I don't.
5. My kitties didn't eat one fake fall flower yesterday.

My New Favorite Blog
I just discovered this blog yesterday (I got her link from my sister's blog. I LOVE her ideas! Here are some of my favorites:
And my five:
1. Date night with the hubby! We're watching a movie after the kiddos go to bed.
2. Friday! I just love them!
3. Peanut butter M&M's (you know I have to have food in at least one of my grateful fors).
4. Cute blogs. I've been finding a lot. Now if only I was as ambitious...
5. My kids. I just love 'em.

Scary Movie Month
This being October and all, I thought we should talk scary movies. I'm not a huge fan, although I once thought it would be cool to watch a scary movie every October, you know, in celebration of Halloween. So one year I watched Signs, and decided I didn't like Mel Gibson anymore.
The next year I watched The Ring. The Ring singlehandedly made me decide that I HATE scary movies, it's not worth watching them, and I would NEVER watch another one. I had to sleep with all the lights on in the house AND blast the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in order just to dare to go to bed.
And I didn't watch another scary movie again.
Until now.
My friend at work let me borrow The Lady in White a few days ago. I haven't finished it yet, but I really am loving it! It's scary as all get out, but it's not gory or dirty or gross. I might just have to resume my scary movie a year routine again.
What are your favorite scary movies? Or are you the kind of person that refuses to watch?
My Scary Five:
1. The Vice-Presidential debate tonight. I can't believe how excited I am to watch it. Maybe I'm finally a boring adult. Still, I can't wait to watch it.
2. Diet Coke. Don't worry - it's for "medicinal" purposes: I was TIRED! Not anymore, thanks to D.C.
3. Nice people at bus stops. Sure, there's always the creepy guy who comes up to people and says his mom died and he's hungry and would we trade a bus token for money, but there are also people who are nice. I've met a nice lady from West Valley that works downtown. I look forward to talking to her everyday after work.
4. A loving relationship with my husband. I saw a couple fighting at the gym yesterday, and I'm so glad I'm not in that kind of relationship. I love that Darin and I respect each other, trust each other, and are kind to each other. I married a great guy!
5. My friend at work you thought to give me her free Lego Batman poster because she knew my boys would love it.
