Mmmmmm.

I would kill for some of Turkey Butt's amazing Fettucine Alfredo right about now. But since he's in the middle of a 15 hour shift (yup, the restaurant industry is super lame), I'm stuck with the frozen, pre-packaged kind. Oddly though, with a bottle of Tangerine/Lime Sparkling Water, a chick flick (Letters to Juliet) and Adora to cuddle with, it's shaping up to be a pretty fantastic meal!

I am soooo BEYOND excited to spend all day tomorrow with Turkey Butt, though! I love Mondays!! Monday's being the one day of the week that Turkey Butt gets off as the restaurant he works at is closed. Monday's being the one day I refuse to pick up a shift (except perhaps the occasional O/N) so that I have time to spend with my two loves! Tomorrow, if the rain can ease up a bit, will be filled with a romp through the forest, some Crispix Mix making, and some wedding planning in bed while watching movies! This is my life!

Happy Birthday Happily Ever After In Seattle!!

 I want to wish a very very very happy birthday to one of only two people who actually read my blog occasionally. Have a wonderful day of celebrations in your new home!

This is my life!

Our Haunted Housewarming was a HUGE success! The Zombie Prom theme was perfect! My bestest and I covered a few decades of Prom Queens. We had a zombie nurse on hand incase things got out of control and a zombie rockstar to enertain the masses. You know how unruly those zombie masses can be! I even snuck in a few zombie slow dances with Turkey Butt!

(There was no shortage of Halloween inspired treats)

I think this will have to be a new tradition for Turkey Butt and I. It's certainly helping Halloween give Christmas a run for it's money in the Favorite Holiday category! But I won't be able to judge that til after my 2nd Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.

The best thing about the party was that we strategically scheduled a much needed mini-cation the following morning. So, Halloween night, after the party goers had gone home, we cleaned all the fake blood out of the tub and off the fridge. We took down as much as we could manage before we crashed for the night. Then the nex morning we just packed and left for a 36 hour mini-cation at the cottage. 

As hard as it was to leave the cottage, I knew we'd be rearranging the furniture and getting ready to decorate for Christmas. Rearranging and reorganizing things are always fun! Now i'm in the middle of our chaotic living room, staring down a pile of books, craft supplies and storage totes that need to be organized. BUT FIRST, a nap! This is my life!

Happy Halloween!

I'm so excited that the day is finally here! We've been planning our Haunted Housewarming for months now and although there are real leaves (and therefore real bugs) on my kitchen floor, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Decorating has been a family affair. My sister, her boyfriend and my Mama carved pumpkins and helped Turkey Butt and I with all the decorating. We've got 11 jack o'lanterns that will find a home in the yard. This is my inspiration:

A yard full of pumpkins like in the film, Trick R Treat seems very creepy to me! Add to it the cemetary in my kitchen and the dead body in the hallway - it should be a great haunted house! Now I just have to get some sleep (I just got off an O/N) and then get dressed and made up in my zombie prom queen outfit. More photos to follow I'm sure!

This is my life!

TV Lineup

Since Turkey Butt and Adora went for a hike, I've decided to cuddle up on the couch and catch up on some TV. Since we don't have cable, I have to catch up on the internet. My lineup goes something like this:

Mike and Molly Season 1 Episode 5
Grey's Anatomy Season 7 Episode 4
The Defender Season 1 Episode 3
Mad Men Season 1 Episode 3
Blue Bloods Season 1 Episode 2

I might need some made at home Cafe Mocha to go with it. This is my life :)

Adora-ble

Our pet photographer turned future wedding photographer, Emme from RavenDawn Photography brought us our images from Adora's session. They are SO cute!

I'm having issues uploading the high resolution photos. But here's one adorable photo of Princess Poop! This is my life!

A case of the grumps.

I think that once in awhile I am allowed to be grumpy! For instance, if I haven't been home for more than 5 minutes in the last 15 hours because I've been working. If my boss shows up late to relieve me, again. If I go to scrape the frost off my car only to realize that my perfectly-good-last-summer scraper is broken and the actualy scraping part of it is missing. If I notice a large pile of turkey fat on my back seat where Turkey Butt kept the turkey during our hour long drive to the cottage for Thanksgiving. The turkey he promised wouldn't spill on my backseat and made it seem like that was such a silly question for me to ask. If I try to pull in my driveway and have to wait for the delinquent from upstairs (and his buddy - the town's resident underage drunk whom i've caught shoplifting at a previous job) to stop smoking in the middle of the driveway and move out of my way. If I pull into the driveway and realize that the parking lot is full, again - and I won't be able to back into my awkward parking space. If I get out of the Jeep to find Turkey Butt standing in the door, ready to leave for work even though I've seen him for less than 10 minutes since 2pm yesterday. AND THEN, he gets huffy about my grumpiness and leaves without saying goodbye or even giving me a goodbye kiss, only making me MORE grumpy. HMPH! Today is a grumpy day. This is my life.
