Tongue-tied Thursday

School's food

Call me crazy, but I REALLY miss Vienna school lunches. Not many people can say that about their schools' food. Although I never understood the nasty looking ketchup with macaroni, yuck! One thing I came to love was Frito Pie! What a better way to use up left over chili but to revamp it a little. Which is exactly what I plan to do this week since I can never seem to make a small batch. It's just impossible in my book.

I could really go for some country fried steak right now with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy with the devouring rolls! :)

Wednesday Ramblings

...This weekend is Mike and I's first time going to Oktoberfest in Herman. Every year we always have something going on about every weekend in October.

...Where has September gone?

...I really wish tires were a lot cheaper. Not to mention I have 17" tires (aka truck tires) on my Edge so that means more $$. Yuck! I bet you can't guess where my next paycheck is going!?

...I'm loving my Jordan Essentials makeup. It's feels so light on.

...Tonight I have two little munchkins, little Ms. Kylie and little Mr. Jake while everyone else is stuck bowling. With these two little characters, there won't be a dull moment in my house.

...Today is 25¢ for a 20oz. cappuccino. THANK YOU CARDINALS!!!

Weekend Wrap Up

Friday
After work I went to Dustin's house where his girlfriend, Natasha was buying my bench I had for sell. Been awhile since I'd been there nor seen them, so we did a lot of catching up. Just like old times. Mike picked up Kittys for supper and it was an early night.

Saturday
Before the wedding we went to a birthday party where Mike's dad was frying up chicken. Nothing beats fried chicken in a kettle. Delicious! A distant cousin of Mike's was getting married, Katie. It was a beautiful wedding and a gorgeous day for it. I 'borrowed' this picture off her facebook page.
The wedding party's tables where set up neat with wood fence. They also had mason jar wine glasses.

Sunday
We headed to Nathan's birthday party. I cannot believe this little guy is already 2!
Here is some party pics.



Did some laundry while Mike put together our table and chairs. Pictures to come soon. Randy grilled some pork burgers and pork chops. I told him over the weekend that we need to sign a contract with him that he can only live so many feet from us, since he's our Sunday cook. I think he thought I was joking. lol

Bargain

You can't beat a bargain. I got these for my cousin who is due next week at JCPenney. My total: $6.65. Cha-ching!


Sleeper - $4.20
Onsie - $1.97

Saved $17.89 :)

Jordan Essentials

Here's my Jordan Essentials' goodies I received. Not all of this was free items, I ran out of a few things, which I cannot live without the dead sea salts. So I got the bigger size this time. One new thing I found that I love is the oatmeal complexion bar. Still have yet to try my salt scrub and mineral makeup.

Happy Fall

Tongue-tied Thursday

Camera settings

While driving this morning I thought I would try out the sunset camera settings to see if there was a difference. I get bored on my long drives to work. :) It's not a real pretty sunset, but I just wanted to get the jest of how my settings were.

Original photo with auto setting.

Sunrise setting, take one.

Sunset setting, take two.


The third one is way over-rated! lol Still makes for a pretty picture even though it exaggerates a LOT in what it really looked like with using a sunset setting on a sunrise.

New addition

I've been forgetting to blog about the newest addition to Mike's family, little Miss Madison Abigail. Mike's cousin, Jennifer had her on September 9th. I still have yet to see this precious little girl. No one could see her but her parents and the exception of the grandparents the first week and half of her life. She had fluid go into her lungs during delivery. Poor baby. Luckily her and momma are doing just fine and finally at home. Hopefully next week I will be able to blog about the newest addition to my side of the family.

Wednesday Ramblings

...I am still loving this weather. Favorite time of the year. FaLL

...Time for soup and chili. I could live off soup for the winter/fall if I had it my way!

...We're getting our table today. It's been in for over a week and we've either not had time to pick it up or it's been raining cats and dogs! Luckily Mike has an awesome cousin, Matt who is going it pick it up on his way home from work. He may be a very ornery cousin, but at least he is good for something! :) Good thing he doesn't read my blog or he may have my hide!

...We brought my old table already to mom and dads. Sure seems different in the kitchen without it. I thought it would seem bigger, but it doesn't. With our new table we may have to move the hutch to the living room. Which I don't want, but may not have a choice. Shucks!

...I have to miss molasses this Saturday at grandma and grandpas yet again. This is the third year in a row I've had to miss it for a wedding.

...I'm gone a little blog post happy this week. May stay this way for awhile since I can actually take pictures that are worth posting. :)

City

I finally got my first issue of the Jefferson City magazine. I love. Apparently in an older post where I said I had looked online where it was located at and it turned out to be Columbia. Well of course obviously it is in fact in Jeff City located at Business Times. Duh April, maybe it's printed in Columbia. Which that makes sense. So for you Jeff City buffs, Business Times is located on High Street so I'm assuming that is where the News Tribune or another paper is located as well!? I'm really really unsure of working in Jeff City. I hate the traffic, parking, etc! It would be nice to produce something like a magazine all the time. Now back to the real world... even if I was to apply, get hired and get the job. That doesn't mean I will just be doing magazines, I'm sure it would apply to the newspaper as well. Blah. I am so trying to get away from newspaper print.

Why wasn't I an heir to some big wig company like a MAGAZINE!? :)
