Halloween! And finding my mojo again...

So in recent times I seem to have lost my mojo (let's call him Dave- everyone knows a Dave) I could not think of anything I wanted to post. I did not want to post just for the sake of posting. So, me and my Dave were at an impass! I was torn between not posting at all, and posting drivel. Anyway, over this week Dave has returned. Now, when I say I was torn between not posting at all and not posting drivel, I have probably opted today to post drivel!!! Welcome back Dave!!!!

Today my brain is filled with Halloween. I know it's not for another couple of weeks, but I'm excited. Firstly I'm having a weekend away with my family. We are doing all kinds of spooky activities (child friendly- no ouji boards for us!). Pumpkins and games and party food and a DVD or two (enter scooby do and hocus pocus).

One of my jobs to plan for the weekend is to create a Halloween playlist.  I chose songs that had creepy names and scary lyrics. I really didn't want to go all out cheese with Thriller and Monster Mash, but the children will want to dance like crazy mad things, so I ended up putting them in there! Here is my Halloween Playlist:

Don't fear the reaper- blue oyster cult
Somebody's watching me- Rockwell
Thriller- Michael Jackson
Zombie-the cranberries
Hey soul sister-train
Tubular bells-mike oldfield
Bring me to life- evanescence 
Ghostbuster theme
Heads will roll- yeah yeah yeahs
Sweet dreams- Marylyn manson
Rihanna-disturbia
I put a spell on you- Nina Simone
Monster mash- bobby Pickett and the crypt kickers
Theme from Halloween- John carpenter
Decode-paramore
Witchcraft-frank Sinatra 
Voodo child- rouge traders 
Halo-Florence an the machine
It's raining men-the weather girls
I got you under my skin- frank Sinatra
Killing me softly- Roberta flack
Beautiful monster- ne-yo
Jar of hearts- Christina perry
Creep-radiohead
I just died in your arms tonight- cutting crew

Feel free to steal it if you wish!

The next exciting thing about Halloween this year is Halloween night at Zumba!!!! We are dressing up, and I think there will be some spooky songs/dances. There are prizes for the best fancy dress so I am currently planning my outfit. I have got some ideas so I'm going to have a play around before the big day (clearly I don't get out much!) I am thinking zombie since I love anything zombie related. I'll post pics when I have decided. 

Halloween related trivia- Samhainophobia is the phobia of Halloween!
