Addictive hobbies & healthy eating.

Well guess who got into Pottermore! Oh, I got an account, but still no email allowing me to browse. I'm pretty excited to try it out. Keeping those fingers crossed. It was rather funny to see an ebay auction for one account have bids for $14,000, then to be completely flooded up to $99,999,999. Oh the internet.

Today my friends and I took a trip to Little Shop of Comics in Scotch Plains, NJ. For kids who are poor it's a horrible idea, but it's so great (wonderful, awesome, insane)! I had to make my purchase before I found anymore, but apparently that didn't work. I found some awesome Sherlock Holmes comics and paid for one in cash. Then I was done. I had to be.

I've been trying to think of new healthy food ideas to keep me full and eating well. This sandwich I concocted was surprisingly amazing. It probably would of been 10x's amazing if I had some greens to place on top, but sadly no greens were to be had. It's a Dr. Pregers vegetable burger with humus, tomatoes, and Colby cheese on toasted rye bread. I think I could eat this everyday. I love it when I find foods that I can obsess over and it's not junk food. This is definitely better tasting than any junk food.

Whole foods is my favorite place to go to eat, because of their buffets! I wish I could walk down to my kitchen and it would be exactly like a Whole Foods buffet. If only I were a millionaire! I love their salads and vegan desserts. Their vegan cookies are so delicious! I could go for one right now, preferably with some almond milk. Mmmmm, almonds.

I wonder what other easy, healthy meals I can make? I've been trying to search for a "daily meal ideas" site, but haven't found one that was good yet. Especially for fresh, raw, vegetable based meals. I need a chef.

In a Hallow mood.

Lately I've been feeling extremely Halloweeny. I mean, of course I wish everyday could be Halloween, but for some reason the desire has increased. It must of come on with the vampire Ante I made-up this week. I cannot wait for the actual day to come! For now I am formulating a spooky camping trip with my friends; complete with ouija board, midnight walks, and horror movies (we stay in a camper, double spooky!!).

Hurray for Halloween in July! Here are some things I found that might help you get into a haunted mood.

1. Adorable pumpkin nighttime display! (blogged by halloweenhaunt.)
2. This awesome illustration definitely has a Dracula feel. (by oldcarguy41.)
3. Never leave home with out it! (by EclecticOutlet.)
4. I thought this ring was so amazing! (by BloodMilk.)
5. A dream lawn for decorating. (blogged by halloweenhaunt.)
6. The ghoulest socks around!! (sorry I had to).
7. I would buy millions and make a wicked bead curtain! (by pinkee.)
8. I love the vintage looking witch and black cat! (by GoldieLooWoodworks.)
9. I don't know about you, but I usually like to associate Harry Potter with Halloween as well. Today is the launch of Pottermore and "The Magical Quill" celebration. Try to get your entry to Pottermore early!

What are some of your favorite things about Halloween? Or, do you loathe it?

Forever in my heart ϟ

About 30 minutes ago, I came back from the midnight (more so 1am) showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, the final movie. I was so excited to see this movie that nothing could bring my hopes down. To make matters better, we were able to see it in 2-D in a theatre that had perfect seats with our name on it (thank you unorganized movie theatre!). It was a comfortable experience which was a very, very lucky thing.

The movie was great. However, it did have it's bad parts, but they were outweighed by the good. Not severely... just enough to have the movie be really enjoyable. The one and only thing that did make the movie outweigh the book was the fact that it was purely visual. It showed what happened better then my brain could. Heh.
I also forgot to mention that I pretty much cried like a little wimp. There's nothing worse then trying to hold in audible crying in a packed movie theatre. It hurts! I think why it made me so sad was separated into two reasons. First, I was sad for the characters, because I grew up to love them. They go through so much in the end, and you learn deeper things about them. Not to mention a lot of them dying! Secondly, I also felt sad for the actors themselves, and how sad they must of been when it was all over. What a baby right? Haha.

I'm so lucky to have been born at the perfect time to experience this great story. It had always made me happy in even the worst of times, and even when the worst was happening in the story. It was somewhere I went to and felt content, home, and even love. I love all of the characters and how they treated/interacted with each other. That was what always made me wish it were real. It's what made me name my Molly after the best mom to ever, never, exist. Haha.

The books may be completed, as well as the movies, but I can watch and read them for the rest of my life. Even more wonderful is that maybe I can share them with my future children, and perhaps their children after that. So, for me it's not "over", but forever in my heart. Thank you J.K Rowling!

P.S. That kiss I tell you!! Woo!

Goosebumps!

I am not getting sick, I will not get sick, nope! Fight it.. urrggg...

Funny events for this afternoon. I decided I would finally send back that Netflix movie I had for 2 months, and my oldest doggy got a walk for the day. At the park I visited the pond. I believed, without a benefit of a doubt, that there were otters, or some other water dwelling mammal, in this pond. Well I proved this hypothesis correct today. A tiny floating "wood log" saw me and my dog walking closer to it, and it went PLOOP!, gone under the water! I immediately made a strange girly noise, (something along the lines of an inhaled "iioop!") and was filled with adoration as well as confusion. I still do not know what these things are exactly!

When I came home I was on Tumblr, and saw a Goosebumps gif, and instantly reblogged it. I remembered that the other day, when trying to find that damned bag of an infinite amount of colored pencils for my art, I found my old Goosebumps books in the desk outside my room!

I went to go get them today to take a look at them. You know what else I found? Prismacolor colored pencils...I had no idea I had those. I bought new crayola colored pencils (same that were in the infinite bag) knowing I'd regret it...... Anyway! So with the book rediscovery nostalgia heavily set in. I'm missing a lot of the books I used to have. There are only six here. I headed to Ebay to fix that! I just purchased one of my favorites; Return of the Mummy. It's like brand spankin' new! I'm so excited!

No news on my friend's surgery. Florence and the Machine is keeping me cool.

I've also reached 10,000 views on my blog! That is amazing! A HUGE thank you to everyone who visits!!
If I had more subscribers/active readers I would have a little giveaway. Anyone out there?
