A Blog in Pictures

I know I have only briefly mentioned that we have two cats. Hey you! We have two cats! And I swear they have more personality than any other cats I have ever encountered. I always wonder what they would say to me if they could talk. Probably something like, "Cheerio! What doth is foreth dinner, Mother?" Or something. Apparently my cats speak Old English. And maybe french. Bonjour!

ANYWAY. Today I thought I'd share some photos of them with you, dear readers.

Our kitties, Prince (gold) and Toulouse (grey, and the reason I think he speaks in a french accent). They're best buds!

Prince. "What up, Mom?"

Toulouse. This is how they both sleep. Close your legs!

See?

There's a brief snapshot of our cats. Even though they open all the cabinet doors at night and try to climb the door frames, we still love them. And they are an endless source of entertainment!

It's as Easy as Chicken Pot Pie...

...Which is what I made for dinner tonight. From scratch. Oh yeah. Booyah! I have a super easy recipe (thank you, Martha) and Husband loves. Which is a score, cause he can be a picky eater. I also made Peanut Butter Fudge cake - see post below for recipe- and it was fan-freaking-tastic.

Dinner was a nice cap to a nice Sunday. I slept in until 11, when my Mom called and woke me up, which was fine because I quite enjoy phone calls from my Mom. Then I did some laundry, got gas and picked up some groceries for which to make our tasty dinner. And for the first time ever, I ordered meat from the meat man at the meat counter. I felt like such an adult! Which means tomorrow, we're having pork chops. Which is weird to say because when Husband and I met, he was a vegetarian. And when we got married, he was a vegetarian. Then pretty much out of nowhere, Husband became a carnivore again. AND IT'S FANTASTIC! You have no idea how much easier making dinner is now. I used to have to make two dinners, and now I only have to make one. Magical!

Now we're just chilling out after chicken pot pies and p.b. fudge cake. Listening to the cats snore and chase squirrels (and maybe the neighbors dog) in their sleep. And not looking forward to tomorrow and another looooooooooong work week. Oh well. Such is life.

What did you do today?

Currently In...

Well hello again! Sure didn't think I'd be back this soon, but I'm making an effort to blog more, since that's the reason I made the blog anyway; to share my life with those who might give a shizzle. Looks like I'm making great strides, now doesn't it?! My goal is to blog at least once a week.

So.... I stole this "currently in" list from a few other blogs and thought I'd give it a try. It's a monthly list of all things current in my life.

Current books: I'm currently reading "The Memory Keepers Daughter." It's slow going because I'm finding it hard to make time for leisurely reading. But it's good so far. I tried to read "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown, but just couldn't get into it. And I renewed it 3 times! Maybe I'll pick it up again over Christmas break when I'm forced to take vacation.

Current Playlist: I'm hooked on a few different songs at the moment; Love Like Crazy by Lee Brice, Rhythm of Love by the Plain White T's, Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland, and (gasp) Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. That last one might fall under my current guilty pleasure as well.

Current Guilty Pleasure: See above, and I'm hooked on Keeping up with the Kardashians. I'm actually surprised by how real those girls seem.

Current Color: I guess I'd have to say purple. I bought a new shirt recently and it's purple and has ruffles! I love wearing it!

Current Drink: Peace Tea. Lemon or Razzleberry. Yum.

Current Food: I don't know. Whatever's available. Nothing really sticks out. I do have an unnatural love for Swedish Fish, though.

Current Favorite Shows: GLEE! I can't wait for the new season to start!

Current Wish List: Oh, so many things. I've actually got a really good Christmas list going already. I'm ready for you, Mom. KitchenAid countertop mixer, Gussy Tote, and a whole slew of fancy items I found on Etsy.

Current Needs: More time in the day.

Current Triumphs: I made it through yet another fall opening at the U. And quite successfully, I might add.

Current Bane of My Existence: Football Saturdays. I'd much rather be sleeping.

Current Celebrity Crush: I don't really have one. I'm crushing on my Husband though! ;)

Current Indulgence: Nothing. It's unfortunate. Need to get me some Lindor Truffles.

Current Blessing: My wonderful Husband. He's been so unbelievably supportive during the last few weeks with work being as stressful as it was/still is.

Current Outfit: Tank top and gauchos. Feels like jammies.

Current Excitement: Looking forward to these next 3 Saturdays to be over with. We've got 4 home games in a row, 1 down, 3 to go. I promised Husband we'd go to the Renaissance Festival and eat ginormous turkey legs. And I want to get "home" to see my parents one of those off weekends. How I do miss them.

Current Mood: Tired.

Current Link: Found a new blog. Check out http://www.bluejeanamy.blogspot.com/

Those are my currents. Check back in October for my next Current list!

Oh Blog, How I've Missed Thee

Hello Blogosphere! Last time I posted was in July! Geez, where did August go? Oh, yeah. That's right. I spent it at work getting ready to open 3 locations that were closed over the summer. And now school has started, all my locations are open and we're rolling. I've inherited a new location this school year, a Dunn Bros coffee shop, and slight side note (they have the BEST cold press iced coffee). Fist pump for Dunn Bros. If you have the means, I highly recommend you pick one up. They are so choice. :) Football has also started now, and at work, we have a "all hands on deck" mentality, so any manager that isn't already in a location on football Saturdays gets the pleasure (ha, ha ha) of working at the stadium. This year I'm on the suites level, so at least I won't freeze my sweet tukus off when it's cold outside. So for the next 3 weeks I'll be running on fumes between my normal work week and football Saturdays. Then we get a break, another few games, a longer break and then the last game the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So much for spending a long 4 day weekend with my family. Most of whom I haven't seen since July. Curse you, work! ::Shakes fist::.

So looks like I'll finally get to stop and breathe at about Christmas time, when I'm working on closing down locations for winter break. What the hell?! Oh well.

Well internet, that's the rundown on my life at the moment. I'll try to get back here again before next September. We'll see how things go.
