Blanket
I finally got around to making myself a blanket on Saturday. This is the 4th blanket I have made since getting my sewing machine back in February. I totally cheated and had it finished within a few hours. I found an adorable sheet set at Target that was on clearance so I used a queen size flat sheet as the backside and on the front I had found a soft and fluffy piece that I added some patches on the sides to make it as big as the flat sheet. TADA!! As you will see in the pics, the dogs think it is for them and get more use out of the blanket than I do.

Whoops
I totally missed the one year anniversary of our little blog...oops.
Happy October to everybody, I am super excited for October. I may have already mentioned this but harvest/fall is my FAVORITE season. I love the weather, love the mood it sets and I LoVe everything that has to do with pumpkins, spice...and all the good smelly stuff that you can get at Bath & Body Works. Speaking about pumpkins...I had the most delish pumpkin cupcake the other night! My fabulous coworker Melissa (awesome hygenist...need your teeth cleaned?? come to our office...odd I know since I am looking for a new job!) invited me to her SILs cupcake tasting/open house kinda party. It was fun! And the cupcakes were AmAzInG!! I made it out the door with samples of every flavor so Shawn could have samples (told him he wasnt allowed to go, I didnt think guys were allowed...muhahaha). Definately check out http://www.mysugarmamasweets.com/ YUM! I definately recommend the pumpkin, margarita and carrot cake.
I recently introduced Shawn to Schnepf Farm, which is a few miles from our house. We discovered that they have a dang good breakfast at their Fresh on the Farm Restuarant. They have a theme for the month of October with their pumpkin patch, chili party. It's a little pricey for what it is (which really isnt much) but it was just nice to go out and stroll around. I went with my sister and her kids back in 2006 and I remembered it being a bit more fun back then, I imagine it was probably the element of having been there with kids. Regardless it is nice family event.
Today was one of those fabulous days where I didnt feel like leaving the house. I woke up to the sound of yet another accident behind the house so I scrambled to find some shoes and run out to see if anyone was hurt or needed help only to find that the sound of locked brakes and tires screeching and the impact was a jackass who was speeding and overshot the turn into the neighborhood or lost control of their vehicle. The ended up jumping the curb and hitting the stop sign which is maybe a few feet from the blockfence of our backyard. I am starting to really dislike this house, it makes me so nervous being backed up to the main road and on the corner one of these days someone is going to come barreling through the block wall and into the backyard, hopefully the block wall will slow them enough so they dont hit the house. This has got to be the fourth or fifth time that this has happened in the last couple of months, heaven forbid that the dogs be out there if it ever happens.
On another note...do you recall me sharing the story about our little visitor the white cat?? Well he has been visiting on such a regular basis that Shawn asked the neighbors if it belonged to them. Turns out the neighbor said that he thinks that the family that lived here before had a white cat and that they must of left it behind....frickin lovely! How the heck are people so horrible as to leave their pet behind and not care if it lives/dies or haunts the new family??? Shawn has "adopted" the poor thing, it now has its own ziploc containers of yummy (insert expensive) cat food that Pierre refused to eat and a thing of water. I know how lovely of him huh...I know Shawn will be reading this so I just want to reiterate....NO THE CAT CANNOT COME IN THE HOUSE TO LIVE!!!
School is dandy, as odd as it may seem for as much as I love to read, I despise writing! I am not creative enough to come up with something to write about. Today I should have been working on my english paper that is due on Monday, however I decided to make myself a blanket instead! haha I will post pictures tomorrow.
XOXO
