Tis the Season!

In this house we get excited for Halloween the way most people get excited for Christmas. 

Since last week Indy has been selecting a different Fall/Halloween-inspired movie from his collection of over 600 DVDs (someone has a problem!) for us to watch for each night of October.  I realize for most normal people that watching a full movie every night of the week sounds ridiculous, but welcome to my life. (We've already watched: Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Dead Poet's Society, The Shining, and Room 237- a documentary on The Shining).

We've already made plans for apple/pumpkin picking.  I can't really complain about this one, though, because we recently started a tradition where Indy's little cousins (twin 5 year olds and an 8 year old) fly up from West Palm Beach, Florida to get a small taste of fall with us.  I can't wait to get photos of them in the orchards!

Indy has excitedly linked me to the Fall Foliage Network's website at least 5 times.  Yea, that's a real thing. Check it out.

Are you starting to understand? The man is obsessed.  And while I should be thankful that he isn't a gambler, a golf fanatic, or even a motorhead, I must admit, his love for all things fall does wear on me.

So when I saw this "movie trailer", I nearly died:

In the first four days of October, he's already made/made me eat: pumpkin spiced pancakes, pumpkin soup, apple cider, pumpkin and chocolate Hershey kisses, and Trader Joe's pumpkin spiced latte mix.

We still have 27 days to go, people!  At this rate, I'm going to die of pumpkin poisoning.  Is that a thing?  If you're a nurse or a doctor and know that it is in fact a thing, please give me a head's up.  At least, if I don't survive through Hallween, you all will know why.

You Know You're a Teacher who Watches Breaking Bad When...

-You look at one of your class rosters, and when you see the name "Jesse" on it, you practice saying it in your best angry-Walt bark.

-You bump into one of the chemistry teachers in the hall and as you excitedly ask, "Do you watch-" they smile, cut you off, and say "Yes."

-When you find out a co-worker watches the show, you fangirl for a second before asking which episode they're on as not to accidentally ruin it for them.

-You comb through the names and faces in your 8th period senior study hall looking for the "Jesse Pinkmans."  They're easy to find- they're all huddled together, listening to music that's only slightly louder than the hoodies they're wearing.

-You wake up from a very detailed dream in which you and Saul Goodman are crawling around the floor of an old movie theater avoiding your husband's cousins- and you turn to Saul and say, "If they see us, just say you know me from high school."

Indy and I have watched all five seasons of Breaking Bad in about a month.  We have one episode left on Netflix, and then we're onto the second half of season 5 all stored up on our DVR- ready and waiting for us.

Our goal is to catch up so we can watch the very last episode live.

Let's hope Saul stays out of my dreams until then, at least!
