Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to be glad the crazy rain has moved off. We even had a tornado touch down about 15 minutes from us and this doesn't happen much in Texas, so there was panic. It did cause some damage, but no deaths at least.

......to be watching Dawson's Creek with Natalie. I watched as a teen, so it's a trip to watch again as an adult. She's liking the show! 

.......to gave finished reading I Came Back For You by Kate White. It's about Bree, whose daughter Melanie was murdered 10 years ago. But the guy convicted for killing her insists he didn't do anything to Melanie. Bree thinks he's just lying, but then does some digging and realizes they might have gotten the murderer all wrong....this book is a tough read as a parent, but like Bree, I would do anything to find out what happened to my kid. 

.......to have been excited to spot the first pumpkin scented item. I do love the Fall and all the scents and colors that come with it. Cooler temps are coming. Eventually!

Meeting An Actor From Welcome To Derry

Pennywise has returned. 

Natalie loves the show Welcome To Derry and when we heard Emma-Leigh Cullum, who played Little Periwinkle in the show would be there, Natalie was like, yup. gotta be Pennywise. 

She does her own makeup, and always looks frightening. 

It was an event called Summer Camp put on by Kings Of Horror. (They are having a Stranger Things event in November that we cannot wait for. Pennywise WON'T make an appearance there. Natalie is coming up with an 80s look for that one.)

Anyhow, it was nice to meet Emma-Leigh. We got a photo:

And a signed Funko Pop:

The event was held at the Wonderland Of Americas mall, which was incredibly popular in the 80s, and still has a few relics from the past. We love this clown, but we learned he's been purchased so he won't be there next time. Boo.

Since it sort of was marketed as a horror event, there were other cosplayers. 

We met this guy:

And this one:

We always have a blast at the Kings of Horror events and are looking forward to the next one. If you like The Walking Dead, they are having a Mallwalkers expo with many of the actors from the show. (Yup, Carl aka Chandler Riggs will be there!) I'd love to go, but I have to save money for the Stranger Things gathering. 

Until the next time..

Pennywise will sleep. 

Spider-Man Jacket Hoodie From Hot Topic

Spider-Man Brand New Day releases in theaters on July 30th. (Yes, we already have our tickets for that day. The first showing.)

To celebrate, Hot Topic has put out a bunch of different Spider-Man items. Necklaces. Shirts. Earrings. And this fabulous jacket hoodie.

As you can see, you can zip it up so you look like Spider-Man! 

Or, you can leave it unzipped, and it still is pretty cool.

It ranges in size XS to 3X. This is a S, and it is still roomy, so it seems to run true to size. We loved the vibrant colors as well.

It is cozy and soft and will keep you warm--and stylish.

It'll be the perfect look when you show up to see Spider-Man Brand New Day in theaters. 

If Natalie is invited to several Halloween parties while in college and isn't in the mood to go all out on a costume, this jacket will come in handy. She can simply zip it up and show up as Spider-Man.

And remember: with great power comes great responsibility.
