I think the post-vacation lack of stress is wearing off. Today my project manager had to ask me if I was OK after a meeting. I try so hard to control my "I want to kill someone" face, but it gets to where I forget what neutral, non-scowling feels like.
But I digress. Saturday we went out to see Michael's parents and they took us to
Stone Mountain because it's time once again for...
This event has been put on by
ART Station for 27 years this year! You walk through the historic village portion of Stone Mountain by lantern-light, hearing storytellers tell ghost stories (most of which are humorous, so it's very kid-friendly). I love this event; you never know what stories you are going to get, or what's going to happen. We had the added "feature" of the fireworks going on during our tour, so it was fun to see how each storyteller worked the loud BOOMs into their stories. =) (A lot of them also worked in the number 27 in honor of 27 years...but I don't think they all did. I'd love to hear if you can confirm or deny if you go! Advance tickets are only $12 and proceeds go to support live theater!)
You weren't supposed to take pictures during the storytelling, but I did hang back at the end of one of the stories told in the cookhouse (most are outside) and got our lovely storyteller to mug for the camera. =)
Sunday was errands, church, football (what a crazy Falcons game...yes, sadly we've taken to watching professional football since college football's been so atrocious this season), choir, etc....but we did find this (at Target, of all places):
SQUIRREL!!!! Michael calls him "Stealth Squirrel" because he says he's rendered like the Stealth Bomber (it makes sense to me but I'm sure I'd understand better if I'd spent more time in CAD programs!) I have a feeling Stealth Squirrel will not remain stationary in the Lottloft....

Lol cute squirrel xxx
The story telling tour sounds wonderful.
Yep, I can see it as a stealth squirrel. And yep, I can see it's stealthy movements around the house being a very entertaining game :)
Stealth Squirrel is an appropriate name! Very cute!
PS - I just moved my blog over to a Wordpress self-hosted one - I would love it if you would pop over there, and bookmark the site!
Stealth Squirrel. lol
(Perfect band name?!?)
The story telling event sounds cool. I guess the stories are scary? :S Yeah, I know... I'm such a chicken. ;)
That squirrel is hilarious!!!
I can watch all kinds of horror movies but I can not stand to have things jumping out at me. The last haunted house I went to my son was part of for the boy scouts, over 20 years ago. I am definitely a big chicken.
Just have to say that from my garnet & black POV - college football is really fun this year - Go Cocks!
Love the squirrel, the storytelling event sounds great
Sounds like an awesome weekend! Love Stealth Squirell ... can't wait to see where he's hiding now and then!
Oh oh oh Ghost tour sounds so fun!!!! Love that they wove the fireworks into it...there are such creative people in the world !!! Storytelling is such an art!
