Thrown in a Different Direction

Just when I think I have it all together and know what the heck is going on, I get thrown in a new direction. Took Jake to dr. for balcofen evaluation and it ended up much different than I expected. First of all he has to go through quiet a bit just to decide if he can tolerate the muscle relaxer, and then if he can he has to go through hell to get a pump surgically implanted in his stomach. I guess I am still walking around with my blinders on most of the time but I didn't see this one coming, I didn't see what he would have to go through to eventually get the benefit of this medication. If there is implant it will take weeks to recover and he will have to be home schooled during this time as school is fast upon him. Nothing is simple with cerebral palsy. So with this said, I don't figure I will be celebrating my favorite time of the year very well this year. I don't know what will be going on. I will know more after the balcofen injection on July 17 in St. Louis. I am in a deep dark depression as my Dad says. No wonder my aura has been dark for awhile now, I should of known something was on the horizon as I have been feeling it coming. Just have to wait and see...

A Return to Kelly's Scary Tales

I've been pondering my ponderables lately, had a cousin to die, Jacob is sick and I have had no sleep for three nights running, Darius left for the Guard for 10 weeks, I'm on a very strict diet and actually exercising, and the corn doesn't appear that it is going to work with me and grow very much which has caused me to question whether or not this year's trail will be worth the effort. I HAVE NOT been in a good humor as of late. My ponderables have had a very black aura to say the least. But through it all I believe I have came to another decision. I guess it was Darius and Alex that nipped it in the bud, "What do you mean you are thinking about NOT doing it? It's supposed to be the BIG one!" Yeah, it's supposed to be the big one. The best I've ever pulled off. The scariest most over the top haunt of all I have ever done in 10 years. That was my promise for this year. And Kelly Jo Hastings doesn't make a promise and not keep it. (Even if life is beginning to become as scary as my dark art.)

SO! with a stiff shot of Rock and Rye under my belt I now am blogging to say, "Fuck it, it's gonna be the big one, the most over the top haunt I can possibly put on. It will go down in history with my family and friends as the most horrorific, scream to your throat busts haunted trails KJH has ever done." It's happening folks, as long as I can keep Jake half-way well and I can hold up to the ticks, snakes and chiggars lurking on the trail site. Come on Damon...let's kick some ass....


Kelly's Scary Tales: Once Upon a Nightmare!

Bite the apple and your eyes shall see...The way these tales ought to be...

Find yourself "Once Upon A Nightmare" as you wind your way across an unenchanted forrest filled with cherished fairy tales , as they have never been seen before. The Evil Queen's scribes have written a new chapter on terror where princesses don't get saved, children don't find their way out of the woods and there is no escape from the rabbit hole !

Get ready to live your worst nightmare! Once Upon a Time...is over!

Proud of you Brother...

For all my taunts at my Brother on this site I now have something else to say. He joined the Guard and has left for Boot Camp for 10 long, hellish weeks and I am so damn proud of him!! So here is to you Little Brother, I love you with all my heart and soul...Show 'em what an ole Hastings can do! (And yes, I got some Kid on here cause I love him too!)

This one's for Darius Lucian Hastings!

Cats, You Gotta Love 'Em

What's this got to do with Halloween? Not a thing, I just thought these were pretty cool.

"Trick or Treat"

We haunters have long awaited the release of this movie, which goes to dvd this fall so they say, but there will also be a graphic novel which I will of course BUY as soon as it comes out.

WTF?!?!?

I am a bigger retard than I give myself credit for! Guess what? I got the Little Brother, who I must say again being the genius that he is, is not very friggin' bright! In the mule and went up to check out the corn field and get some ideas groovin. We get there and I have him show me what he had observed and advised me last time about the corn stretching WAY across to the right of the field. Nope. Unfortunately I was right and he was wrong. There may be a half-acre of corn, I payed $250.00 for a half acre of corn and nothing I can do about it. SO...after I took a cry I put my big girl panties on and he and I looked around and made some decisions on how to possibly make things work. I am not going to be able to do a haunted corn maze until the end of the trail, so I am having to drop my "Dark Harvest" theme and go back to "Kelly's Scary Tales." I am very disappointed but do feel pretty good about what I can do to salvage this FUBAR. I am going to use the small corn field for the ending and let it be the Wizard of Odd site. I am hoping the old saying is true, sometimes you don't get what you want, you get what you need. Now changing themes means I still need to buy that damn Peter Rottentail rabbit that costs $399.00. Sh***!! Maybe someone can read my blog and be able to use the "Dark Harvest" story-line. I think there are lots of good ideas there and I am going to use some in the Scary Tales trail. Alright, time to quit complaining and get it together!! More on this saga later...

Feeling this way again today!!

An old post but a good one.


To Tim: I hope that hand reaches out through a wall and drags you through to a dimension of screaming horror. It's the least you deserve.
