Things I love about Fall...

I cannot believe it is already OCTOBER!!!

How did time fly by so fast?! I have been CRAZY busy at school and staying late getting things ready. I turned my computer on for the first time in a week on Sunday. If you all know me at all, you know that I LIVE on my laptop!!! While I watch tv, I'm can almost always be found with my MBP on my lap doing some online shopping, stalking blogs, or wasting time on facebook. So for me to not be on the computer for a week straight is saying a lot!

ANYWAYS.....

How is it already October? And how is it already in the 40's?!?! I about froze my tush off this weekend! 

On Friday, we went down to Glasgow for the Homecoming game! It was a short trip, but I loved getting down there to see Ben's family for a little visit!

Perry loved the car ride, of course!

On Saturday, we did the DSACK Buddy Walk! It was soooooo chilly, but I loved every minute of it. They had miniature horses walking with us!

Some of things I've done the past week include....

Baking pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

I love all things pumpkin. And this muffins did not disappoint! Seriously, so easy, and so good!

Just cake mix, a can of pumpkin and 1/2 cup of water! I found the recipe here:

And another favorite recipe for tailgates and parties...

Buffalo Chicken Dip! Mmmm

And my favorite fall candle. 

Candleberry Hot Maple Toddy! Seriously, you can have this thing going for 30 minutes and it will make you house smell wonderful for the rest of the day. Loves it. 

And my new favorite drink from Starbucks...

Grande Soy Misto with 1 pump Pumpkin Spice. SO GOOD!

What are your favorite things about fall??

It's Almost The Weekend!

This week has been a longgggg week. We haven't had school for a full 5-day week since winter break. While I hate that we will have to make up all of our snow days in the summer, I do kind of miss waking up to a text message saying there's no school today.  A day off is a nice break and an excuse to sleep in run errands and shop! But, I'm appreciative of any day off we have regardless of winter or summer.

Saturday morning, I plan on attending Hot Yoga and sweating my butt off. I haven't been to Hot Yoga in 2 years, so I'm sure it's going to suck. But I bought a month pass on Groupon and need to use it ASAP! I have my pink yoga mat and camelbak ready for class!

My body is still trying to recover from Pure Barre on Wednesday. I took today off, but hopefully I'll be back on the treadmill tomorrow. I made an intense workout schedule for the month of February and I'm trying really hard to stick to it! My sister, Carrianne and I, are hoping to run 5 different 5K's throughout the year, so I can't let myself slack! It's so hard for me to get back into running after taking a several months  weeks off!

And of course, the Super Bowl is on Sunday.

I am going to my friend's house for a little Super Bowl pot luck. I think I'm going to take my classic Buffalo Chicken Dip and maybe a dessert. I have been craving Monster Cookies and found Paula's recipe online! Mmmm
