Yay, it's Friday! Tomorrow I'll be doing some Christmas shopping (I know, right?) and Sunday will be my sweats and ponytail day as well as make my grocery list day.

Here is this week's FFOF:

#1. Name a food you like that uses a red sauce or anything red in it.I like sauteeing shrimp in olive oil and garlic and throwing them in spaghetti sauce ( Read more... )

Anybody who knows me knows that I am a music FREAK. I need it just as much as I need air. Chris teases me about it, saying that I really only listen to the same 100 songs. That is SO untrue! However, I am mostly stuck in the past when it comes to music. The best music was made in the 50s, 60s and 70s, with some great stuff in the 80s as well ( Read more... )

She actually made dinner last week, but with Halloween and other stuff going on, I didn't get a chance to post about it until now. I think it's about time Lauren started learning to cook, so I started her off with something easy - tacos.

Wanted to get this in before it's too late. But there will be Halloween pictures sometime over the weekend! It was a fun day, although a little bittersweet because it was Becca's last school Halloween party (they don't have them in the middle and high schools). And it was probably Lauren's last time trick-or-treating.

This week's questions:

Jujuboo boo-ed me today (which sounds funny spoken out loud), which was pretty cool. I'm supposed to go around to blogs I like and Boo them as well; however, I'm whipped and getting ready to go to bed after I post. By the time I get back on, Halloween will be done ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's Halloween already tomorrow! Becca's excited - the 5th grade, instead of having individual classroom parties like the rest of the school, will be having a huge party together in the cafeteria. One of the staff members will be DJing (he DJs on the side and has the equipment, so he gets roped into these things to have fun, too ( Read more... )

Before I post the recipe and pictures for this meal, I completely forgot to mention that I came in third place in a trivia contest! And it was my first time playing! I even got the answer to the last question, which was a complete guess. Malcolm at Pop Culture Dish has a lot of cool stuff, so check him out ( Read more... )

Look! It's the kitty!
