Pumpkin chocolate chip bread baked while wearing polka dot pajama pants and a Dirty Dancing tee.
Come to mama.

Spinach dip for Saturday
+
Extra crispy Ellio's pizza and a gasping snorting fit of laughter while watching Parks & Rec.
"Jerry, did you eat farts for lunch?"
Proving once again that farts are always funny.
And so is Parks & Rec.
+
I'd omit the italian seasoning next time. Make sure you salt the ground turkey.
It came out of the oven watery, so drain it and you'll be good to go.

Hearty and healthy.

Sunday soup made on Saturday: veggie beef barley.
Just like Mom Mom used to make.
+
I had to use tomato paste, and had a bunch left over.
I froze it in tablespoon size portions using the ever handy ice cube tray.
+
Happily cleaning up from a productive Friday night in the kitchen at 11:30 p.m.
Times have changed.
+
Cutest boys ever.
Friday night issues: I picked a huge fat tick off of Geege,
and Gus had a toenail issue so he was up all night.
Which meant I was up all night.
\MFD had to take him to the vet on Saturday, and he was weird the rest of the weekend. My poor boy.
+
Saturday morning's coffee was so so necessary.
If you're in Philly, head to Mugshots for yours!
+
Bath & Body Works has the perfect size candles for my Buddah candle holder.
+
Changing pictures in frames to the back drop of
Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, The Good Wife, and college football.
+
A trip to Redner's for some gallons of water, pimentos and pumpkin.
Why do people load up on perishable items before storms? I saw a man with four cartons of eggs.
I got water because one of my greatest fears is to be without water when I need a drink.
If you see me sitting in my house, there will always be a glass next to me.
Agua issues.
+
Halloween prep.
I was ready for a full 45 minutes before MFD was ready.
This is nothing out of the ordinary in our house.
Thanks to my mother and father-in-law for staying over with the dogs!
We were Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Tasteless, I know.
+
Good times at Jill & Frank's Annual Halloween Party.
I enjoyed one million swedish fish vodka drinks, there were fabulous dips to be had, I Hate Dead Rabbits was the required firepit saying, MFD wore different costumes in his unique way, and the party was a lot of fun like it is every year.
I went to bed smelling like fire pit smoke and singing Kenny's original composition in my head.
+
Sunday morning I dropped MFD off at his mummer clubhouse.
+
I decided to stop at Sam's since I have a business membership and few others would be there.
I did end up seeing my uncle in the parking lot, which was fun.
My small haul: healthy, healthy, healthy...and damn good.
+
TV catch-up
Duck Dynasty. Roberts family, can I meet you? Pretty please?
The Big Bang Theory
The Office
Suburgatory
+
Sunday dinner:
pimento cheese chicken, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
If I'm making mashed potatoes on Sunday, they're loaded with butter and some sour cream.
Not the light version, in other words.
Thanks to Shelby at Big Hungry Shelby for the link to the pimento cheese baked chicken.
+
Hurricane freezer prep: fill baggies with water and put them in the nooks and crannies in your freezer.
They'll freeze solid and if your power goes out, will help to keep your food cold longer.
Or they can be used in coolers. Thanks to Suzi for this tip last year around Irene time!
When the threat is over, let them thaw in the sink and reuse the bags.
MFD makes fun of me when I do this, but like everything else in life,
I like to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
+
A notification from work that we'd be closed on Monday.
Working from home it is!
+
Laundry, vacuuming, fresh sheets and a pre-bed shower.
Fresh sheets are heaven, I do declare.
+
Revenge.
How can a show be this good?

Dear universe: please don't let Sandy be as bad as predictions, and pretty please let all the trees around our house remain intact and standing. AMEN HOLLER.
Love you all like Emily loves Revenge. Stay safe this week if you're in the path of Frankenstorm.
