With the fall season approaching and the horror movies starting to overwhelm the box office, I feel that I must inform you all that I hate ALL scary things about halloween. Seriously! I do not like being scared, and that is the entire point of halloween. Why does this sound like a good idea to anyone? "Hey lets devote an entire month to scaring the crap out of people, just because." I just don't understand. Every single year Derrick asks me to go to a 'haunted maze' or 'haunted house' with him. EVERY single time I have absolutely refused. I hate surprises, of any kind (good or bad)...so the thought of having someone chasing me through a corn maze with a chainsaw just doesn't sound like good, clean fun. Go figure. I get that it is just regular people in cheap plastic masks with chainsaws going ''boo,'' but I just can't get used to the idea.
I was serious when I said I don't like surprises. One of the greatest things about my marriage, is that I have my husband figured out. I know when he has something up his sleeve, and most of the time whatever he has planned, I have thought about first. So in reality, it's not really that surprising. Some might think that's boring, but to a control freak, it is very comforting. I have always been this way. I can remember when I was younger and my sister and I would be chasing one another through our old house, causing way too much trouble. I would stand on the toilet and wait for her to come running through the bathroom and jump down and scare the crap out of her, but when she did the same thing to me I would become irate. Lol. Ahhh, the good ol' days.
So, I'm KIND OF contemplating breaking out of my comfort zone and doing something different this year. Maybe a corn maze, or haunted house. Who knows? Maybe I will go to a horror movie and not stare at the floor the entire time. Of all the things in life that could scare me, these all seem kind of miniscule. Maybe I won't break out of my comfort zone...maybe I will just kind of slowly drift out of my comfort zone. Scary movie anyone?
