I'm still here...

Hello world! I know, I know it has been a long time since I have blogged!!! Since my last post, I have been doing lots! Oh where to begin...

Landon and I celebrated our third anniversary on October 14th. We had a nice romantic picnic at Capitol Park (the place where we got married). It was so nice, just me, him, and a million mosquitoes!!! They were taking over the place. Besides the mosquitoes it was very romantic and fun! Lori, Lamar, Ellie, and Natie came over and we made Halloween cookies and had some great family fun...much needed family fun! I have continued with my scrapbooking and I am almost finished with my third one!!! BTW, I am totally addicted to it now!!! I have become that person, the one who hits up all the craft stores; Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Home Accents, ect. several days a week to try and catch all the sales and deals on scrapbooking material...I think it is definitely safe to say that I need help:) I started a new painting, but it did not go as planned so for two weeks now a pink-painted canvas has been on my kitchen table taunting me every time I walk by, I will finish it, but I haven't decided what to do yet, maybe a Christmas painting of some sort, we'll see. Speaking of Christmas, it is right around the corner and that means Christmas decorating!!! YAY!!!! I can't wait to put up the tree and all of our decorations...I absolutely LOVE this time of year!!! I am already starting to plan the Thanksgiving menu for this year. We host Thanksgiving dinner at our house every year and since I no longer eat meat, I am contemplating cooking a Tofurkey!(Tofu turkey) Of course I will make the real thing to, because my family would probably kill me if I tried to serve them tofurkey for Thanksgiving, but I am very excited about changing it up a little this year. Speaking of no meat, I have been a vegetarian for 72 days now!!! I think I'll stick with it! We have seen a few new movies too, so check out my movie reviews. I gave up on the Harry Potter series, just couldn't draw me in like I wanted, so I moved on and am now reading "The Art of Racing in the Rain" and it is very good so far. I will post my review as soon as I am done. Besides the holidays and my birthday coming up, I really have no big plans except for one...The Bruce concert!!! Nov. 18 Natie and I are going to Nashville to see The Boss and I am totally stoked!!!! Haven't technically conquered anything new on the list, but the ones I have started, I have continued to stick with...the recycling, painting, reading, scrapbooking, ect. I am brainstorming and thinking of other ideas to add to the list...I would love some feed back on this if anyone out there has any suggestions. Oh, I almost forgot, we went to Natie and Megs for Halloween this year! It was a blast. Landon and I went as Mr. and Mrs. Freddy Kruger...we were hideously awesome! The costumes this year were amazing..robots and robot hunters, coalminers, witches, Medusa, William Wallace, Spock, vampires, pirates, and so many more. It was definitely spooktacular...cheesy, I know, but I couldn't resist! Until next time....

  1. Tofurkey, are you kidding? This is the first I am hearing about this. Where are the Halloween pictures? Your movie reviews are fun to read even though I might not agree with all of them, you should consider adding a weekly TV review column to your blog, and maybe a Dirk stat tracker ;)
    Love,

  2. A. I love Landon's comments. (A dirk stat tracker is a little dorky, but fun)
    B. I support the ToFurkey. Along with that, I am researching low cal side dishes for me to bring to eat. I will not gain weight back just for the holidays!
    C. BRUCE!! Can't wait. It will be fun sister time!

    I am proud of your list accomplishments and that you are sticking to them. keep it up.

    I need more pictures on your blog of Chloe in costumes, because that is priceless!

  3. Not to be repetitive, but I agree with Nat. Landon's idea is fab and ToFurkey, if not delicious, will definitely be interesting. And maybe make for a good story. :)

    I too am so very proud of your dedication to your list. Especially the no meat. You are far stronger than I. Cudos!

    I am so happy that you made it last night. It wouldnt have been the same without you there!

    Love love,
    Mer
