Every year around this time, I ask myself why the heck I still live here. Last weekend I was wearing capris and flip flops and enjoying the sunny 80 degree weather. Today I had to wear a coat because IT'S SNOWING! Hasn't this town ever heard of Fall? It's not normal for the temperature to suddenly plummet 40 degrees. You would think with this being my fifth winter here I would be used to it. Nope.
The turn in the weather has brought a few good things with it, however. We have started drinking hot cocoa again! I just bought some mini marshmallows today to take full advantage of the cocoa drinking season (which will be at least the next six months...). Did I say there were a few good things? Oh, I was wrong. That's the only one.
At work we had a Halloween decorating competition and so the room I work in seriously looks like Halloween threw up everywhere. I'll have to try to snap a few pictures. It has so many decorations that it looks ridiculous. This motivated me to start decorating our apartment! So yesterday I dug out my one and only Halloween decoration:
And then today I found this cute plastic pumpkin at Walmart:
My favorite part is that I don't have to carve it! I hate carving pumpkins. Why would you willingly stick your hand in there and pull out the GUTS? Ewww. I'll pass. And what's October without some bread bowls that look like pumpkins?
Is that not the funniest thing ever? I've been craving broccoli cheese soup and I found these little bread bowls at the grocery store. I stood there and laughed for like 5 minutes. We will have to "carve" the pumpkins and then put soup in them.
P.S. I got my hair cut a couple weeks ago! Here's the before and after:
P.S. Thanks to Darci Hill for giving our blog a much-needed makeover! Isn't it cute?
I do think your blog looks cute and so does your hair!
ReplyDeleteHow does Darci do the title of your blog? Yours and hers are soooo cute!! And I love your hair. Annnnd I agree about winter. I don't know why I live here either. haha.
ReplyDeleteLindsay... okay here's how I did the title. I used www.picnik.com to edit the photo(s). You can upload one or they also have a feature where you can do a "collage" of more than one picture. You can add text (your title and/or subtitle) and a border or whatever you want. The website is pretty self-explanatory. Then just save it to your computer and go into your blogger under "Layout" and click to edit your header (where your title is). Upload your picnik picture and click the box that says "instead of title and description". The only other trick is getting the size of your picture just right... it just took a lot of trial and error for me. Hope that helps... if that didn't make sense or your have more questions feel free to send me a message!
