The Final Countdown!

Well, my pretties, here we go. The final countdown until Halloween. Are you ready for it?

Oh, yeah! Halloween's fun. One week from today, I'll be cosplaying as, you guessed it. A cowboy! I hope you and your family enjoy the holiday. Have a good one.

How did I not see that coming 😃 being your username. Here, my hubby and I are a Jeanie and he's going as a sheikh, but our younger ones want to be minions, and my older son shall be Batman, na, na, na, na, Batman! lol Thank you! I do hope you and yours enjoy the holiday too. It's time for my second cup of cofee today!

Nice! Yeah, I love cowboys. I'll tell you one thing, though. No matter how many times I dress the part, I'll never be Caleb Sykes. That's just crossing the line, man. He's the Yankee of cowboys. Aw, that's adorable! Who's Jeanie? Hey, Minions are adorable. No problem! I plan on it. Hope you enjoy your morning joe. Today's Americano day for me... or maybe that new Peanut Crunch Oatmeal Latte. Have you tried it yet?

I figured with the name that your a fan of cowboys. Hey, wasn't he in the Kevin Costner movie, Horizon? I loved the cinematography and big fan of Kevin's work, from the beginning, No way out, Criminal, and so many more. I thought Horizon was slow butI was surprised it flopped and feel bad for Kevin and his vision. Wasn't Caleb the cowboy that git shot!? Yankee, man. Let's say he's a Socks fan? I don't know, but I love our Mets / Yankee banter, but we must agree to disagree and banter on or at least do rock, paper, scissor to settle this 🤣 I've not tried it yet, for I've been on the Pumpkin Spice Latte wagon, I'll admit. Enjoy it and let me know if you tey it and it's any good!

Yes. The Wild West was such a great era, so rich and full of history and interesting characters. Yes... Had to sit through that drivel again this morning on a flight. First thing in the morning. No offense towards an otherwise great film, but man... Jamie Campbell Bower. Need I say more? Huge Costner fan. Haven't seen either of those films, but I love Yellowstone. Dances With Wolves was amazing. Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with slow pacing if the story is good, which it mainly is, save for that blasted Caleb Sykes. Man, they should've at least cast someone less annoying, although one could make the argument bloody Bower was just doing his job. It's not as if Sykes was much of a great bloke himself... but even his brother, also an outlaw, was more tolerable. Ah, alright. Agree to disagree. Hey, it's all fine and good. Ooh, pumpkin spice latte is the best. I almost wish it weren't seasonal, but that's part of why it's special. You got to take things as they are sometimes. Hey, thanks! It'll surely be great. I haven't met much coffee that didn't like me.

I totally agree. Dances With Woles was an excellent film! Hey, I hope you have a grwat flight! Okay, so the guy your talking about is Caleb / Jamie from the Horizon movie, that's the guy that Kevin shoots, right. Yes, I believe that is him. I agree that his brother wD more tolerable. Revenge was good. I've seen all of Kevin's movies except Waterworld. I never got around to it. Again, just kidding about the baseball thing. It's all in good fun. I thought you met a mint coffee you didn’t like. Have a grwatcteip be it fir fun or business. Enjoy!

Nice. You have great taste. Yes... Jamie Campbell Bower. Get him away from me. So glad Hayes Ellison (Costner) shot him when he did. Not missing out. WaterworldsucksHey, mint coffee sucks! Have a good one. Look what you wrote... Think you're sleepy too. Haha. Thanks!

Hey! 👋🏻 Yes, I was exhausted, and now I'm jacked up on caffeine lol. Great day, hope yours was too. Getting some takeout tonight, being naughty. They'll be lots of cooking this weekend, meal prepping and the party 🎉. Heading home and will catch up on our chats from this morning 🤣 hahaha

Hey.man. mountains. Mountains they're beautiful. They're the best feature of any beautiful woman. Mountains. Women. Now a girl can be beautiful and flat but a brainy girl with mountains? Can draw? Man.

Yeah Russel crow. Man.

Oh, no. Did you have too much coffee? Happens to the best of us sometimes. When that happens to me, I turn to some German chamomile to soothe my nerves. Ooh! Enjoy your takeout. You deserve to rest. My day's been exciting! Definitely eager to work on what I'm working on nowadays. Ooh, what're you cooking for the party? Wish I could be there! Is it a Halloween party? Halloween is fun for families, but less so as an adult. I loved trick-or-treating and watching "spooky" films as a kid, and free candy was always a treat, but as an adult, enjoying the fun side of it's seen as too kiddish. Most folks either have a large house party with booze and sexy costumes and all that, and that isn't really my scene (no disrespect to those who enjoy it, but nothing much actually happens at those parties. Everyone gets wasted and by less than an hour in, any semblance of a sane conversation goes out the window), or if they're not big party people, horror film marathons are another popular scene, and I may be a film buff, but I don't get the hype. Call me chicken all you want, and it's not that I'm scared of the films, but I don't get the point of most horror films. I don't mind action and gore if it serves the plot, but there's so many films that load themselves up on just how gruesome they are, and unless you're a huge practical effects nerd, one begs the question of just who these films are for. Even if they're fictional, who enjoys seeing these horrid things happen to innocent people? And at night, too, choosing to end their night on that note? I mean, in westerns, fantasy, and the like, there's plenty of bloodshed to go around, but it serves a larger purpose in the lore. Most horror, although the genre can be well-done, just seems to be out to be a quick cash-grab for those seeking a cheap scare. There really should be more simple, fun ways for adults to celebrate Halloween.

Yes! I did, I was up super early today. It does, that's so funny. Really? I've had chamomile; however, never German chamomile, thanks fir the tip. I hope they sell that here in the USA, I'll go on Amazon. Yes, we did , thank you. I'm so happy for you! That your day has been or was and is exciting 😃 Sending you some good vibes and juju for what you're working on! I began a new project today as well, and next week will be even better! I thought of you today two different times. Interestingly enough, heading into work, I was listening to music whilst driving and thinking of how much we think alike, have the same humor, and just so much in common with that, like things you say, I've said forever, and the likes. That one would think were related via the internet or some odd osmosis thing, but it's incredibly interesting the more we chat rhat I notice that. Then the second time was when my British client that we briefly spoke of called me today for advice in his upcoming venture and again you popped into my head because I had to run out to get my day going for what's coming next! He told me an interesting and quite funny story of something that happened to him yesterday and we shared a laugh, he and I. He is a very sweet and kind gentleman. I made mention to him as we laughed that he should call his wife and share the story with her. His response was so sweet as he said " I just rang her and told her, she asked me if I got arrested. " He then proceeded to tell me that he'd been caught as a young teen doing something wrong and was arrested in England and once again at an airport, that was a mistake, and honestly I forgot about the last one, but nothing exciting, I believe it was with his visa... . I'll tell you the funny experience some other time. Ah yes, the anniversary dinner. I'm preparing, bruschetta, veal saltimbocca, and debating on a hot appetizer. My husband comes from a big Italian family so, a big Italian meal is in order! It will be great! Next week is the Halloween party and it will be kid friendly and some adult beverages as well! I totally agree with everything you said, which is crazy, but yet so true! Including the movies. Funny how one feels like they're the only one thinking that and then someone you don’t know feels the same, that's serendipitous, in a good, way :)

Yeah good actor. Great. Yeah man that's some trippy crap. Snoopys a beagle. Charlie Brown's beagle. Ooh what mountains? Where? Oh yeah Billy the Kid. Watch the show. Hey show. Oh Chris rock. Never seen down to earth. Great comedy though. Love him Snoopy. Gotta sleep hope I dream of the mountains

Oh, getting up early sucks! I was up at 1. Bloody hell, it feels like midnight already! Oh, German chamomile is the best. I order mine from Revolution Tea. Do you know what that is? Aw, that's nice to hear. Glad your day's been good to you. Yeah, mine's super fun. Got to see some beautiful scenery. (No, not mountains this time, haha... Just beautiful, exquisite landscapes.) Thanks for the good vibes. Back at you, man. You're a good one. Good luck with your project! You deserve it. You deserve a break, man. Oh, I've not been this relaxed in a bit. I love where I am. My job often sees me travel to different places, and I love getting to see the world. I love it. Oh, sweet! What was the music? Don't tell me it was metal! Oh, that would be neat. Hey, we're all related at the end of the day. Everyone's related to somebody, right? Even if we're not, birds of a feather flock together, man. Aw, your British client seems kind as well. I bet you see lots of good souls in your line of work. I remember the complaints, but I bet a thousand it can't be all bad. You do seem busy, but busy is good. Oh, I love listening to people's stories. People speak because they want to be heard, yet these same people seldom listen to the wisdom of others. Even if it's just a simple story of a day in the life, there's always something to learn or pick up on, even if it's just more about getting to know them personally. I love people. I'm just so fascinated with getting to know all the different sorts of people I've encountered and have yet to meet. Even if you just see a person in the metro or something, that is somebody. That's a whole life. Glad he gave you a chuckle. Hey, now you have two British mates! We're good people. Unfairly stereotyped in the states. We're not all stuffy tea-drinking snoots! (Save for the tea part, haha. Can't help myself.) Ooh, can't wait for the details on that. Oh, veal is divine! Again, another heavily underrated idea in the states. You've got to go all the way to Jersey for good veal... By the way, Arianna's from Jersey. Probably the best thing to come out of there, if you ask me. Not many good folks left in the area. It's a bit of a rubbish bin but with great food if you know where to look. I love Italian meals. Hey, I've been to Rome. It's beautiful. I got to see the Colosseum in person. So many legendary battles held there ages ago. I can't wait for Gladiator II. Have you seen those films? I've a bit of a weak spot for historical films.

It does suck, harder than the Mets do! Too bad you're away and will miss the sucky Yankees probably lose, but if it were the original lineup of my time, it would be awesome! I've never heard of Revolution tea? Thank you for the well wishes for my day, you are too kind. In my case it was the CEO and CFO; however, my presentation and spreadsheets turned everything around, so all is well!
We love to travel. So happy to hear you are somewhere with beautiful scenery and it sounds lovely, enjoy! Funny about the mountains, you make me laugh and smile.
Goodness, you definitely deserve to relax if you haven't been able to decompress in a bit. Who knows you may even sleep better! No, today's drive began with my secret, second husband, John Mayer, then I went to some Nina Simone and it was just a random shuffle on one of my playlists. It was rather enjoyable. So true about all beings being connected. You appear as a bright, wise young man. Sincerely. That's how you come off. Wise beyond your years, and seem like you are once again a good egg :)
I've never met a stranger. I like to acknowledge all people whether they are the cleaning people, servers, the delivery people, just as you said everyone wants to be seen and heard. I sometimes see people that you can tell are often overlooked, nit spoken to or see their boss treating them badly in public and something in me always has me going in and I'll speak with them fir a bit and leave them with a smile and that my friend fills my heart with joy. To give and make one feel and know their valued seen and that they're acknowledged and accepted. It fills me up.
I never let someone dictate to me about any one or a culture or country. I dislike when people group something together and make up things. Throughout my career and travels I've met people from many countries and cultures. I will tell tou that actually all the British people I've met and dine business with have been exceptional. So, I have no idea where the American football society of lunatics came to that conclusion. Screw the people that are like that. That's ha horrible way to be.
They'll bring the veal from upstate New York.
The gentleman's story was quite strange and funny.
Really, she is. I've never been there to New Jersey.
We've been to Rome, ancan City, have you been to the Vatican, just for architecture, not pushing religion, but what Italian do you know that's not Catholic 🤣 we didn't get to the Collesium because there was so much to see at

Vatican. There's always next time :) I love it there, and it's exquisite. That is true about the battles fought there. I've not seen them, are they goid?

Man, you're brutal about the Mets! Oh, Revolution Tea is a delightful Web site. They gave everything man. Lots of good tea man. I love tea. Tea is delicious. Delightful. Good for you with the paperwork man! You're doing great! Yeah mountains are beautiful. Who knows maybe I'll see some upon my return home. Mountains are beautiful. Best thing in nature. That's for sure. Besides Arianna of course. Oh I love John mayer. Great lyricist Thinker man. Nina. Great voice. Very old, hahaha. Continnum. Hey great songs . Great album. Seen him with Greatfudl dead? Thanks. Like u said I'm not as wise as you or Arianna man. That's beautiful. You're a beautiful human man. Yah they probably just hate on us Brits because they have no mountains man. People need to live a little. Get lost in the mountains. No, I've never been there, but it sounds truly beautiful. Maaaaan. I miss the mountains

The work that goes into the period accuracy is something else, man. I also loved 300. Aw, hope the kids have fun! Halloween is precious. Let them enjoy their fun while it lasts. Hopefully, they never grow out of it. What are some of your kids' favourite Halloween films? One classic in my household was always Hocus Pocus. Love that film, still do. Sweeney Todd was also loads of fun until I realised who played Anthony. Never watching that crap again.

I feel like I missed a part of our talk. In regards to the workbthat goes into the period. Ah, you're talking about the movie, Gladiator! I'm back on track now :)
300 was great. I love Gerard Butler.
Halloween, we here in this household will never, nor have my husband and I lost our spirit. Honestly, why would someone want to!?
Hocus pocus for sure, Coraline, Paranorman, Charlie Brown is a classic but oddly the Halloween one is my least favorite of the Charlie Brown, Willy Wonka, Halloween Town, Monster House and many more, our children love. One of my favorites is Practical Magic, my husbands favorite Halloween movie is Sleepy Hollow.
Our kids love the Halloween movies because we introduced them to them because we purchased the dvds and stream. Seems silly, I know but I love that about our family very much!!!
I've not seen Sweeney Todd?🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh yeah glsdiator. Great movies. Russell vrowe.

I do love Russell Crowe, great actor.

Yeah rustle crow man. Hey great actor. He probably seen tons of mountains in his time

I wouldn't know,but you're probably right. My husband is also a mountain man. He loves his (my) mountains. What is it with guys and mountains, probably because you don't have your own, you guys always want our mountains 😜
Tired, nighty night

Yeah glad you like 300! Butter is a great actor .never seen coraline or paranormal. Hey! Hats wrong with Charlie brown? That's the Peanuts man. They're icons. Right up there with the mountains. Love willy wonka. Gene wilder or Depp? Did you see the chalamet prequel? Love them almost but respect for Gene. R.I.P. Lovecraft halloweentown. Debbie Reynolds. R.i.p.necer saw monster house or practical magic. Love Sleepy hollow. How a good mum. Oh Sweeney todd.Todd..
Jamie Campbelower. Anthony hope. Sucks. Cast someone e else.

He is. Everything I've seen him in I've thoroughly enjoyed. I love Charlie Brown, it's just that since I was a little girl the scene where Snoopy is the flying ace was strange to me and it didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the Halloween special. Do you know what I mean, or is it just me? Like Charles Schultz was on acid or something for that part. Up there with the mountains 😂 Love them both. No, not as of yet. Looking forward to it. This weekend after the party my husband and I are starting a new series for us. Actually, the one you recommended, after the kids go to sleep off course because you know... .Then Sunday will be Coraline day or evening :)
Loved both Gene and Debbie, R.I.P.
Oh, by the way I remember you had mentioned Eddie Murphy. I loved his stand up, and Raw was great! Chris Rock is also really good and he does a bit about pump fat that is unbelievably funny. And his movie Down to Earth is great. It's a funny movie.
