A chill is in the air.  Cold and crisp.  The leaves are turning red and gold.  They turned, it seemed, in a day, but it was more like a week.  It froze last week, then warmed up for a few days.  Last night it was back to 37 degrees.  Chilly.

I kept piling on the blankets in my bed.  We didn’t have the heat on, but it only got to 65 degrees in the house.  I get cold at 65 degrees, so I turned on my electric blanket….on high.  then I drift off to sleep.  I wake up, hot, kicking off the covers, turning off the blanket.  Laying there in the dark, thinking, “Why am I so hot…then I remember that I turned on the blanket and fell asleep.  I lay there letting the cool air in the room, cool me down enough to cover back up and fall asleep.  I went to sleep around 2 am.  Hubby opened the door and told me to get up and make pancakes.  He said it was cold in my room.  I didn’t want to get up, but I got up and went downstairs and got out the big electric griddle and made some pancakes.  I warmed the plates in the oven.  They were cold and I didn’t want to put a hot pancake onto a cold plate.  I went over to make a pot of coffee.  My son said “Mom, please make me some coffee.”  He loves my coffee, so I just added a little more coffee and made him 6 ounces.  I never do that, but I did today.  I always add a splash of vanilla syrup and powdered coffee  creamer and sugar.  He drank it all. 

We went to Target to get my son a Halloween costume.  He wanted this one that looked like a skeleton chest with blood in it.  You strap it on and fill this pump thing with the fake blood and pump it through the clear bones.  It has a foam mask that looks like a skeleton face and it comes with a big black robe with a hood. 

My son and I have been watching this scary reality show called Estate of  Panic.   I recorded them off the Chiller network.  I just watched 4 shows. (That is all I could find.)   I see that they are on the link above.  They really put these people through some chilling events to win some money.  One show, they wired the room all over so that the people got shocked all the time, trying to get to money.  Then they turned the lights real low and you could see the sparks when they got shocked.  They have to grab as much money as they can and get out of the room, but if you get out too fast you could go home if you have the least amount of money, but if you stay and are the last to get out, you get locked in and lose anyway.  They have rooms that have snakes and shoot out water that gets deep.  One room was icy cold.  I am going to have to watch the rest of them.  The host is really a creepy, scary kind of guy.  If the people say they were scared, he laughs and says  “Oh good, I like that.” 

When I put my son to bed tonight, he said he was scared.  I said “Why?”    “Because that show scared me.”   I said, “Then why did you want to watch it?”     He said “Because I thought it was neat, but it scares me.” 

He will want to watch the rest of the shows on the internet, when I tell him they are on here.  It is frightening good.
