Halloween is right around the corner!  Are you ready?  I’m disappointed because my neighborhood really hasn’t decorated much for Halloween this year.  It’s supposed to rain for the next three days so my neighbors better hurry up and put up some ghosts and some pumpkins and get in the holiday spirit!

Do you need help getting in the holiday spirit?  Here’s some help from the pulps!

Moments #28: Jake and Max

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

These two dolls are named Jake and Max.  My mom found them for sell at a garage sale, back when I was very little. Jake had shoes.  Max did not.

My mom paid a little over ten dollars for both of them.  After she left them to me, I discovered they are both worth much more.  I don’t think I could ever sell them, though.  They were mom’s favorite dolls and I’ll always give them a home.

A friend of mine once looked at Jake and said, “Burn it!  Burn it with fire!”  How could anyone find Jake or Max to be creepy?

They’re as innocent as can be.

The Dodgers and the Blue Jays Are Going To The World Series

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Last night was terrifying!  I was watching the Mariner/Blue Jays game and the Mariners were ahead.  They seemed like the had the game wrapped up.  I was so confident that the Mariners would be winning the ALCS and keeping Toronto out of the World Series that I stopped watching the game and instead, I joined Lisa, Jeff, Brad, and the rest of the Monday Mania crew in watching The Wrong Boy Next Door.

About 45 minutes into the movie, I glanced at my phone to check on the game.

The Blue Jays were ahead.

No, I wanted to shout, what are you doing, Seattle!?

The Blue Jays went on to win the ALCS and now, they’ll be facing the Dodgers in the World Series.  And while I may not like the Blue Jays, I have to congratulate them.  They came from behind in both the game and the series and they won.  That’s what a good baseball team does.

So. congratulations, Blue Jays.  And, when the series begins on the 24th, let’s go Dodgers!

Seattle, I’m never going to depend on you for anything ever again.

Also, if you guys could wrap up the World Series before Halloween rolls around, I’d appreciate it.  Thanks!

The ALCS Is Tied Again

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Dear Mariners,

You had one job!  You just needed to win Game 6 of the ALCS.  If you had won tonight, you would be going to the World Series and you would have kept the Blue Jays out of the World Series.  Instead, you lost and now the ALCS is tied 3-3.  The Dodgers only needed four games to win the NLCS.  The Mariners and the Blue Jays are having to go to a Game 7!

For me, this has been a frustrating season.  My Rangers started out strong and then fell apart before rallying towards the end of the regular season and then falling apart again.  Now, I’m depending on the Mariners to keep my least favorite team out of the World Series.  And if the Mariners lose tomorrow’s game, it’ll be up to the Dodgers to keep the Blue Jays from winning the World Series.

It’s frustrating but a championship series going all the way to Game 7 is actually what baseball is all about.  This is a big moment for both teams.  Go Mariners!  You’re our only hope!  But if the Blue Jays do win, I’ll be gracious because they earned the victory.  They went from trailing 0-2 to tying things at 3-3.  I’ll congratulate the Blue Jays, right before I start cheering for the Dodgers.
