Here Ya Go...

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I thought I'd give you a laugh for the day....

I was walking up the stairs at work this morning, caught my toe on the top step, lost my shoe, fell forward and Bam! landed hard on my knee and scraped up my shin. It was quite graceful. Several people came out into the hall to make sure I was ok. I am ok, aside from my embarrassment and bruised knee.

What a great way to start off the week!

Happy Halloween!

I have a confession to make: I don't really like Halloween. No, I'm not one of those people that is "against" it and thinks it the devil's holiday or anything. I do think that kids dressed up are so cute and I will definitely dress my kids up and take them trick-or-treating one day. I've just never really been into Halloween. I'm much more of a "Fall Festival" kind of girl! Even as a child I was almost always too much of a scaredy-cat to actually go trick-or-treating. I can really only remember 3 costumes that I had as a kid: a clown (seen here!), a hobo, and a princess. Super creative, huh? Thanks to mom for always making us really cute costumes. Seriously, how cute is my sister in this picture!?

Every year at work we all dress up and bring snacks to work for a little Halloween party of sorts. I am so not creative when it comes to costume ideas and it always comes down to the last minute. This year I dressed up as a rag doll. Honestly, I don't think most people realized what I was supposed to be, but at least I tried. I think I just looked like a random girl in a weird dress with pig tails in my hair. You can't see the whole outfit in this picture. I had a cute little white sash around my waist and white tights and little black ballet flats. I thought it was cute - what do you think?

I Think I'm In Love...

...with Mat Kearney! I went to see him at Workplay last night and he was GREAT! If you don't know his music, you should get familiar with it. He's awesome, really! Sorry I don't have any pictures to post. Molly kept trying to take some, but they all turned out too dark.

I Love Fall!

Fall is definitely my favorite season of them all. The leaves are changing colors, the weather is (finally!) getting a little cooler, and football is in the air. Even if my Tigers had a rough go of it Saturday night.
I also love the colors - mostly in the fall decorations! I decided to add a little touch of fall to Jeremy's place. Thanks to mom for the awesome wreath!

It's Not Easy Being Green...

In my continued effort to do my part to reduce waste and take better care of our planet I discovered this website. It has lots of good info and tips on reducing, reusing, and recycling. It can also help you find recyling centers in your area if, like me, you don't have curbside recycling where you live. I already recycle aluminum cans, but now I can recycle cardboard, paper, tin cans, and magazines, too! I can't wait!
I've also stopped buying bottled water (and successfully convinced Jeremy to stop buying it, too! Hooray!) One because it's crazy expensive and two, apparently it's not all that great for you anyway. Plus it takes tons of petroleum to produce those nifty little plastic bottles that everyone loves so much - bottles that leak carcinogens into the water!Argh! Who knew!
I'm thinking about composting, too, but I need to do a little more research on it first.
Be green! :)

This is really great!

I'm Hooked!

It's official (as if you hadn't already guessed) that I have a new hobby! I am loving this painting thing.

Last Sunday some friends from work and I all got together and painted this one. It's called "Radiance" and I am really happy with how it turned out!

Of course, I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures from the afternoon of painting, but trust me a good time was had by all. Here's a group shot of all of us with our completed paintings.
