Southern Plate

Lisa and I went to the movies this afternoon and saw You Again, which was really cute, and I came home to find this in the crockpot...Thanks Lee:) I came across this website Southern Plate and it has all my favorite foods. I'll be using recipes from this website a lot I think!

Fall Decor

I was feeling very crafty this weekend. I go through spurts. I could just spend hours in Hobby Lobby. Time sure does get away from me. Saturday morning I think I spent several hours in there. It doesn't hurt when you have a coupon and pretty much everything in the store is 50% off. I wanted to decorate our house for Fall and so far here is what I've done:

1.) I really enjoy making my own wreaths. It is very inexpensive as well. I bought a plain wreath, some moss, and orange sunflowers. I just used a hot glue gun and glued the moss on top of the wreath and the flowers on top of that. It took about 20 minutes to make. And I think it looks pretty on our front door.

2.) I love Fall smells. I found a few candles. Harvest Home and Banana Nut Bread. I also got the Harvest Home room spray. The candle and room spray smell like cinammon.



3.) I found a cute little ceramic pumpkin and some towels to bring out a little color in the kitchen.



4.) In 2 words...Mod Podge. This stuff is so much fun to play with! It takes me back to Kindergarten and peeling the glue off my hands...and yes I did that today too! Anyway I took 2 blank canvases and bought some fall scrapbook paper and mod podged them onto the canvases.



After I was done decorating Lee and I headed to Buffalo Wild Wings to pull the tigers through yet another nerve racking game...but they won in the final seconds!

A Treat

I have done a lot of overtime this week and I had to go to the doctor this morning so I decided to treat myself to the most talked about Pumpkin Spice Latte. It was so yummy. It definitely woke me up and helped me get through quite a few reports without being so sleepy. I think I have a new favorite holiday drink.




My 1st sip

Urban Spoon

Lee and I are so indecisive and can never decide on where to eat. Urban Spoon is an app where it has 3 categories: City, Type of Food, and Cost. Your phone knows where you're at so you don't have to type that in. You hit shake and it's like a slot machine. It gives you a place to eat. For example you hit shake and Auburn, Fast Food, and $ comes up and it gives you Chick-Fil-A. It also gives you reviews as well. I think we are going to be using this app quite frequently.

Top 5: Weekly Reflections and Anticipation

So I decided to make a Top 5 for the blog. The Top 5 things I am loving about the week or looking forward to or just anything I feel like rambling about.

1. The Weather: I am loving the weather today. I bought the pups a new toy and some treats. I think they are loving the breeze outside too. I caught Bella last week in the yard with her legs in the air and her paws just a moving. Maybe she was chasing a cat in her dream. I might go for a walk later on. Maybe I should start walking in the mornings. I definitely don't want to after work.

2. My new phone: See previous post. I downloaded another app to see movie trailers for upcoming movies and also a list of new movies through next year. I'm like a kid at Christmas...what can I say?

3. Auburn Football: I love going to the games. The atmosphere is ausome (notice I didn't spell it correctly:)...) The hubs and I have the miniseason tickets which exclude Clemson (even though we went) and Georgia (maybe we'll go to that one too). This season has been very exciting so far! Hopefully they can pull out a win next week against Kentucky though last year was a different story.

4. Fall decor: Hobby Lobby is closed today but I might be making a trip next week to get some halloween decorations or a pumpkin...oh and some candy for trick or treaters. It's never too early for candy is it?

5. Outback Cheesefries: Friday, Lee and I went to Outback and even though I found out they are no longer giving the scratch off tickets, I devoured some cheese fries and it was worth it.

New Phone

I got a new phone today. It is an LG Ally Droid. I'm very excited. The hubs and I were both due for upgrades with Verizon and so we decided to jump out of our comfort zones with our boring, no apps, doesn't do anything but call and text cell phones and get a fun one. This has so many free apps and I'm so excited. The few I have downloaded are for useless facts, one for cheap gas finds, and a coupon one. It also has one for Pandora:) I will probably be working overtime tonight because of this....j/k. We both had $50 credits and $100 rebate each so that will help. On another note I had a pretty exhausting day. The tigers won big today and we supported them through 3 quarters. It was so hot. I have the pink nose to prove it I took it with my new phone.

Pandora

I have recently been listening to Pandora as a "pick me up" during the day. Sitting here at home (though very nice) working can get lonely sometimes. Day time TV is not all that interesting unless you want to watch someone get a paternity test to determine whether or not they are father so I've been listening to Broadway on Pandora and it plays Broadway tunes, Glee, and Disney songs. I'm a kid at heart. I can't really listen to it while typing since I have headphones and have to listen to a doctor talk all day, but I can take breaks between reports. It definitely makes the long day go by so much faster and I do catch myself belting out the songs every once in a while. Hey...whatever can keep me awake.
