Today's topic is: Thanksgiving Memories

Thanksgiving Memories

Well Thanksgiving around here is really simple and normal. Basically we meet of the farm and eat. Some watch football and some take a walk after dinner (Me and mom and aunts). That is really about it. Many years ago my cousin was born on Thanksgiving so that is about the most interesting thing that has happened in Thanksgiving past. He is in 8th grade now so that was awhile ago. I usually 1/2 watch the parade while getting ready. I never really sit down and watch it.

The things that I do is bring a side dish (usually pie but not always) and I am the one in the family was does the tablescape decorating.

Fall Challenge day 9

Topic: Football

I do like football. But, what I really like about it is the food and dressing up in sports attire.

My husband is a Green Bay Packers fan and I am a Chicago BEARS fan.

I do love watching football in my living room on my couch in my hooded sweat shirt and sweat pants. I actually have tons of BEARS clothing. I also bought my dog a BEARS water dish haha.

Also I try to attend my universities homecoming football game when I can.

Food- I love making chili, sub sandwiches, order pizza, dips, brownie's, etc. Things along those lines.

Oh also, I am in a fantasy football league this year.....so far so good with that.

Fall Blog Challenge Day8

Ok, it is day 8 of the challenge and today's topic is:

Fall Travel/Road-trips/Vacations

Ok so I assume the topic is suppose to be about trips taken in the Fall....which is not good, because I never travel in the Fall so I can't talk about Italy, New York City, Vegas, Florida, Texas, Colorado, any time in California, Mexico, New Jersey, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc etc, because none of those cool vacations took place in the Fall. 90% of them were in the summer and few in the winter. So I really don't have any Fall Travel because I never travel in the Fall.

Also, I don't know if this topic is about past Fall vacations or Fall vacations coming up soon like Fall 2011.


So because of the little time I have and the fact I don't know exactly how to interrupt said topic, I guess I will pick this Fall travel due to the fact it is shorter to write about and is happening this weekend.

Well this in more of a very mini-road trip.

There is something going on this weekend called the "Spoon River Drive" it is happening only a few counties over so it is not that far of a drive. It is really a day trip.

What it is is that there is this really pretty drive that stretches several miles and through several little towns. It happens two weekends every October. Well, along this drive, people have little shops, garage/yard sales, stands, crafts and stuff set up. Towns have town buildings decorated for Fall...there is Fall food like hot chocolate, caramel corn, etc. You really just drive and drive and drive and stop at shops and yard sales and look at the Fall scenery and eat food. That is really about it. We will go on Sunday. I hope to take a few pictures.

Currently, that is the only vacation set in stone for this Fall. There is talk we may go to Wyoming. But, that is not finalized.

I hope I correctly did this post.

Day 7

Fall challenge: Fall recipes

Again, I am going to be putting this post off until later. The reason is because last Spring I got this Fall recipe book on clearance at a cute little boutique store and I have been saving it for Fall to try it out. I had this idea to do a whole post about this mini recipe book. So I am not ready to do this post because I have not made any recipes yet.





However, I will share certain things I make in the Fall. I am not going to post an actual recipe because most of these I have found online so you could google it, have forgot where I got them from, don't use a recipe and just wing it, or don't want to type it out if it is in one of my recipe books.

So,

THINGS I EAT IN THE FALL:

Chili
Apple cider donuts
Carmel apples
Soup of any kind
Hot chocolate
Pot roast
Mac&cheese
Pizza casserole
Popcorn (just normal microwave, but I want it more in the Fall)

Yippee!

Look what I got today:

Love the weekends

This was such a great weekend and I don't want it to end!
Friday=date nigth
We went out for dinner, mini-golf, and then ice cream! We had a blast.

Saturday=estate sales and hanging around the house.

Sunday=football party-my brothers and dad came over to watch the Bears/Packers game. I made tacos and jello-poke cake. That is my husbands favorite cake and it was his birthday last Thursday.

My dad surprised me with 2 tickets to see WICKED! I can't wait to go!

The tickets really made my weekend!

Boob Tube Babble

Link-Up Boob Tube Babble

PARENTHOOD-love you! But I can't stand Haddie and Amber's new hair cut! I can't even look at them. That really dramatic scene were Alex was telling Haddie about his past and robbing the liquor store because he was hungry. I couldn't even take it seriously because I was laughing at Haddie's permed bangs....not a good look. However, it is better than Amber's lawn mower cut. Come on, they have to be making more money that she can afford more than a lawnmower. WTH!

Also it always creeps me out when one actor dates in real life their sibling on TV. It creeps me out knowing Lauren Grahman is dating her TV brother.

It also annoys me that Julia's husband will express his thoughts and feelings and she just thinks "what the f' ever, I will do what I want anyways".

Teen Mom-I can believe Farrah is leaving her baby behind. She will miss two or more years of her life. Farrah and her mother have such a toxic relationship. Michael has no balls and I can't hear them say "my baby"

Anyone remember Farrah on 16 and pregnant talking about the abusive relationship she was in with Derek. How after they broke up he was stalking her when dated other guys?

I am shocked Tyler and Catlynn are still on. Because they don't have a baby. However, I do think Tyler is a hoot! They can thank their dysfunctional family for the ratings and continuation. Why is Butch going to jail for drugs when the wife is obvisouly cracked out! Anyone feel bad for little Nick? I am surprised Catelynn is the way she is and not way worse with her parents. If my mother married my boyfriends dad and made my boyfriend my brother....I would probably never talk to her again!

Playboy club....like it because it is set in the '60s. Gives me a longing for Mad Men's return! Cry! Cry!

Middle and Modern Family-love you! I can not stop laughing at Modern Family. Phil-is.....hahaha aha



Community, Parks and Rec, and Office-can't get enough! I love Andy from Parks and Rec....I want him to be my friend!!!! The penises sent to ann's cell phone was hilarious!

Real Housewives of New Jersey and Beverly Hills you never disappoint!
Taylor is crazy! I have never seen a real nervous break down before, now I have. When is Paul and Adrienne going to get divorced? Talk about another man with no balls!
