C is for ComiCon

Yup, I am sooo cheating.  I meant to get my ComiCon post in before the challenge but life got in the way and since it does start with C...

For those of you who don't know I am fan of (obsessed with) Doctor Who.  So for Toronto ComiCon this year, which took place in early March,I decided to take my first stab at cosplay (most fun ever by the way) and go dressed as the TARDIS.

Waiting in line to get in

Most exciting moment of my day, right here.

:)

Best Batman ever

My doctor and I were discovered by this very scary nurse


 All in all it was a fantastic day and we had a lot of fun.  I am already looking forward to Fan Expo in August.  Cat has decided I should probably be a pony.

    Dropping by via A-Z. I LOVE Dr. Who, and was EXTREMELY annoyed yesterday when I read that in the upcoming season the Tardis will no longer look like a police call box - apparently it doesn't look "street" enough! Going to ComiCon in Phoenix this May, but I don't think I'll dress out for it.

    You went to a party dressed as the Tardis?! I lead a very sheltered and boring life in comparison!!

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
