Pull up a chair

Hey....glad you stopped by!

In the words of that crazy Stephen King character (you know the one): "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

Well, it's true.

I've made several half hearted attempts to make a fun type blog where I could post about some of my favorite topics: zombies, blood, guts and gore. They didn't last long because, if I was going to spend time blogging, shouldn't it beon something more sensible? Such as health and nutrition? After all, I waited nearly 20 years to return to college to earn a degree in nutrition. Which means I should act like an adult and blog about stuff like that. And I do. But, it doesn't allow me to have much fun. That type of blogging is suppose to be serious stuff. Not wild, fun and crazy. So this is my way of having fun.

As for me.....I appear to be a perfectly normal person. Mom of 3 girls, crazy cat lady, full time college student (for a BA in nutrition), future dietitian, presently working as a nurse. You know....normal. Unless the topic of zombies and horror comes up. Then I morph into a rabid zombie loving fan. Not just a newly made The Walking Dead zombie fan. I'm fine with those newbies but my love of horror and even sci-fi goes back over 40 years.

I was rasied on Saturday afternoon Creature Double Feature, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Dark Shadows, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock and much more. My mother would always "talk" for Godzilla or any other monster that did not have a voice. She knew exactly what they were thinking and what they would be saying if they could speak. When I was younger all of my friends were afraid of those movies. Monsters scared them. Me? I loved them. All of them. I'm sure my mother was one of the reasons why I came to enjoy every horror film creature that came along.

In my days vampires didn't sparkle and movies were in black and white. Romero's zombie original's Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead set the stage for my long time zombie love. In a way, they laid the foundation for what a zombie should be and how it should act. These days I'm always open to more creative interpretations but I do love the originals.

Now I live in a house full of horror fan girls. This blog is just one way for us to share our love with other horror fan girls that may be out there. I'm sure there are plenty of you so stop by and give us a shout out. Blood, guts and gore isn't just for boys!
