A month of scary movies - part 1

1. Skeleton Man - thumbs down


2.  Wages of Sin - Better than last night's, but only so/so


3. Live Animals - eh, think it was creepier because I watched it alone


4. Roman - better than the first 3, but still kinda slow


5. Boy Eats Girl - well, didn't shut it off


6. Tamara - lots of "ew" moments, great effects


7. The Tall Man - Totally enjoyed, not really scary, but good


8. Drive-thru - Turned off midway through - lots of slow, boring stuff, then some blood, repeat


9. No Tell Motel - We got into this one, maybe just because we had watched so many boring ones lately, lol.


10. The Letter - With Winona Rider and James Franco we though it stood a chance - uh, no

You may remember we bought a stack of scary movies last month with the idea of watching one a night through the month of October.  Above you see the first 10 days of movies.  So far, not a good start.  Thankfully, we have The Shining and Halloween to liven things up soon.

Do one thing every day that scares you

Found my one thing scary for the day. I am scared of these bridges that swing an wobble. I crossed it twice. :)

Wisconsin Wanderings

We interrupt vacation memories to share some Wisconsin nature.

Brown Creepers don’t seem to like me much. This is only the second time I’ve ever seen one and he did not cooperate much more than the first one did!

Still, he was fun to watch hopping around on tree trunks.

As I was walking the trail later I thought I found a messed up bike tire.

Then I saw the end of the “tire” and took a step back. You may not realize it from my photos but I do not like snakes.

I really, really, really do not like snakes! But, I am more afraid of the ones I don’t see than the ones I do - if that makes sense. I do think the camera lends me some of its courage to pause and take some photos. But I still do not like snakes - deep down.

I spend a lot of time in parks, in the woods, on trails and off trails - sometimes in knee high grass. And it’s little fellows like this one that keep me having panic attacks while I walk through the weeds.

You see, my biggest fear is that I will step down on a snake, it will somehow get caught between my heel and my Crocs and as I accidentally smoosh it, it will whip back and bite me and because it is trapped between my heel and my shoe and I cannot get away from it. If Dennis gets further than a few feet from me my panic attack worsens until I am nearly hyperventilating. In fact, the deeper into the grasses I go, the more my panic heightens.

After all this time, I just thought you guys should know ~ I do not like snakes!
