The Chicken and the Bee

I've been searching for the perfect Halloween costume for the work party this weekend. Instead Steve and I had too much fun at Target.

Sunday Breakfast

I already have a favorite place to go out to breakfast. Come visit and I'll take you there!

Stuffed french toast with cream cheese and raspberries...

I ordered oatmeal, but only because it came with with a strawberry cheese danish!

"Punk-in" Carving

Steve and I thought we'd try carving pumpkins this year, something I hadn't done in years. I remember enjoying playing with the pumpkin guts more before..

Tracing the perfect lid.

3 hours later...

Haunted house and Kitty Kat.

Celebrating our success and contemplating our future careers as professional pumpkin carvers.

Thanks Aunt Connie and Uncle Jim!

I was going to pretend that Halloween wasn't happening this year since I didn't really have anything to decorate. Thanks to Aunt Connie and Uncle Jim for the surprise package, I started looking forward to Halloween. Next thing I know I'm buying Halloween candy to pass out to kids. And I've only eaten a couple of the kit kats.

Cactus Gardening

So I took Steve to the local cactus greenhouse Saturday afternoon, and he loved it! We originally went to buy me some replacements, a few of mine had died, but he was inspired to create something himself! I documented the process...

And the cactus trifecta is complete!

See Mom?

I can manage to make some pretty good meals on my own. I don't ONLY eat frozen pizzas. :)

Lazy Sunday

I like to relax the night before the work week starts, and I'm pretty sure I do it the right way. Here's my point of view relaxing on my balcony, sipping on my calimocho (red wine and coke!), eating chips and guacamole (from Trader Joe's!) and watching the sunset turn the Catalinas red. Wish you could have been there!
