Vacation Week.

Hope you all have a lovely week, i'm on vacation getting in some much needed relaxation before Christmas and New Year's!

Insta-Lately.

Life has been crazy lately, between moving, the holidays, traveling, and work, there hasn't been much room to breathe...but it's been wonderful. 

Lately.

Obviously I've been absent fromt the blog world for a few weeks now, and here's what's been going on. The week before Thanksgiving I went home to Amory and visited my family and friends for the week. It was absolutely wonderful to spend some time with them and seeing my sweet little hometown—especially having been away from everyone for so long.

The next week my parents came out to Austin. I took them to a few of my favorite restaurants and places, then we packed up and drove back to Mississippi. 

Then, on Monday I started my new job in Birmingham (er—Helena, to be exact) and it's been wonderful! As you can tell, things have been crazy and overwhelming, but so exciting. I may not have furniture, or anything really, in my new place, but I'm already enjoying it. Added bonus, Mr. Burton and I are going to get to be in the same city for a whole month!

 I can't begin to express how happy it has made me to move back to the South. There just isn't much like it. 

Halloween Movie Nights

Last weekend I decided it was time to get out all of my Halloween(ish) movies and start watching them. It's like my own 13 Nights of Halloween! Somehow, when I went through all of them I forgot to grab The Corpse Bride! I have no idea how that happened, what with my love for Tim Burton films and all. A cold front came through Austin today, so it seemed like a perfect night to curl up on the couch after Grimm with a nice, hot cup of tea to watch it. Every time I watch it, I love this particular scene more and more—it's such a fun tune for a grim tale. 

Here's what the lineup looks like, though it seems I'm one short of 13:

Sweeney Todd

Hocus Pocus

Edward Scissorhands

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Interview with the Vampire

Young Frankenstein

Secret Window

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Sleepy Hollow

The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Corpse Bride

Practical Magic

Maybe I'll fill that last slot with an old classic. Hitchcock, perhaps? What are your favorite Halloween films?
