I saw the movie...and....

...it was what I expected...average!

My mom & sister Bekah came out for the weekend to accomplish two things: 1) see the movie "Twilight" & 2) get their hair done.

They came out Thursday night & we had tickets to see the movie at 10:30 Friday morning. We woke up Friday morning, had bagels & fruit smoothies & headed to the theater.

After the movie we ate lunch at Panera Bread Co. & then headed off to Costco to get Salmon & red potatoes for dinner that night! Can you tell that all I wanted to do was EAT when they were here!! HEHE! Why not take advantage of my mom being in town to help cook! YUM!

Then on Saturday we made yummy monkey bread & scrambled eggs for breakfast, did hair, & then went to "Linner" at Phils BBQ. Oooh!

I am sad we didnt take more pics....I am sure you are too--haha-(except this one in the theater). But I am on a "no picture allowed" thing right now....don't ask me why. :(

Ok this is all you get....!

Happy Veterans Day!

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR BECAUSE....

EGG NOG IS BACK ON THE SHELVES!!!!!!

Every year at this time, I look at John & ask...."guess what's coming out in the stores soon??!!!" I LOVE...LOVE...LOVE Egg Nog & have a hard time at the end of the holidays when it starts disappearing off the shelves until next year.

Thankfully John is not in to the stuff, so when I buy it--I get to down the whole carton! YUMMMM!

Is that weird...??

HAHA! :0)

Feels like Fall...looks like rain!

I FEEL LIKE SOUP!

It's starting to feel like FALL and it rained a little today...So... being the little homemaker that I am (HA-yah?) I decided to make homemade chicken noodle soup with the teddy bear noodles that I had bought in honor of "my bear" (John)!

I actually made the stock....

The "BIG" pot of soup...ummmmm did I make enough?

Okay, I admit it ended up being just "OK" and a little on the "bland" side. The parmesan garlic butter flat bread on the side did help flavor it up some though!
Johns comment..."It's fine...you tried!"
