Shows I am Starting to Miss : When Summer seems to slow down

Are there any  tv shows that you get so involved with that when the season ends you find yourself missing that show?
 I have not experienced that kind of interest from any tv shows in YEARS until this past season.  I became addicted to Once Upon A Time , so I find myself visiting the Once Upon A Time Fan Page daily just to glimpse photo shoots of the season 2 filmings that are going on. I will re-watch the season in August before Season 2 Premiers.  My other favorite is Revenge, which will be premiering on Sundays at 9 PM on ABC , right after Once Upon A Time.YAY! My two favorite shows on the same night .
 My favorite new comedy that I can't wait for is New Girl.  Totally hilarious show, and I think every girl can relate to Zooey Deschanel  in this show. Starting  July 30th  you can Re-watch [or watch for the first time] ALL of first season of New Girl!  Down side : Season 2 doesn't air until Sept. 25th.  on FOX. Speaking of,

    US Weekly is giving away  A trip to the L.A. set of New Girl during the season 2 taping,
           As well as :

•  A $500 shopping spree
• A New Girl script signed by the cast
• See the wardrobe room on the set!

Halloween- When's too soon to start planning?

How soon do you start thinking about Halloween?  It is a Holiday that gets a lot of mixed reviews. I know a lot of people don't celebrate it,and to be honest I didn't celebrate it throughout most of my childhood. Because of that, I have found myself , as an adult with children, always getting excited about  the day. Granted, even as a child I never dressed up as anything scary. Actually, the only year I even really remember dressing up I was Snow White. Even then I don't think we went door to door. Instead, my Mom dressed us up and our cousins and friends came over dressed up and we got some BIG bags of candy [much bigger than our kids today get trick-or treating, or going to the Mall].  Keep in mind this was the mid 80's when all the crazy stuff was going on at Halloween, like finding razors and crap in the candies.  It was sooo much fun, nonetheless.  However, some 20 years [give or take] later, I find myself  looking forward to this time of year. Not so that I can get all scary looking, or to get the kids looking like Devils. Instead, it's the one day you can be whoever you wanna be .  I never allow my children to dress up as anything evil. They have been pumpkins, Princesses, princes, Ninjas, and Transformers. I have been a farm  girl and a witch.   I have a chance to review a Halloween Costume from AnytimeCostumes.com , which would result in a giveaway for $35 to their site. However, I need at least 100 followers on Twitter. I already meet the requirements for facebook. Twitter is  where I need your help. If you would like to have $35 towards a costume [which equals FREE, or really CHEAP] , please follow me on Twitter. It doesn't guarantee I will get the spot, but there's lot of other great promotions, including costumes that it would give me a GREAT chance to be able to review and give away for you all! That's why I'm here, to bring you all some AWESOME deals and FREEBIES, so please leave me a comment if you've helped me out by following me . Click follow me at top right on the blog, or click HERE . Once you have followed me, leave me a comment telling me you did so and your twitter name, and you will be entered to win a $5 Amazon Gift Card. Winner will be chosen  07/16 [tomorrow] by 8pm EST. for an extra entry, tell me which costume you would pick from
