Life Lately...

So last week was a bit topsy turvy for me. I'm not going into it because it is all personal stuff but today I am back to blogging and I thought I would share some of the pictures from some happy times these past few days. 


The weather has been better around here so I've been trying to make sure that Kyra and I get out and about to explore the world. 

Park time fun; caterpillar, MASSIVE mushroom

Also last week we went to the Renaissance Festival and while it was fun it was also pretty hot that day. Still Kyra was cute as ever. 

Pumpkin Spice is taking over. I don't mind. Still...is there a flavor Oreo won't try? 

People keep telling me that avocados are the best. I have never gotten into them. However I was told to try it on toast with red onion, salt, and pepper....and I really liked it. Damn it. 

Now for a bit of fun motivational/inspirational stuff: 

Welcome back Monday. 


Don't forget to join the Show Us Your Books Linkup tomorrow!

Thursday Thoughts

1. Today is my parents' 37th anniversary. They are still almost sickeningly in love. It's wonderful.

2.I am super proud that I got my brothers together yesterday so we could surprise my parents  with a group portrait of all of us. It was the one thing that my mom asked for and it took a little work since we all have really varied schedules but we did it and she cried from happiness.

We are a good looking group huh?

3. I am over the term "basic bitch". When did it become bad to like things? When did it become cool to make fun of other people who like things? Why can't I just enjoy what I enjoy? So what if a lot of other people like it? Why does that make it a bad thing?

4. I am once again super behind on reading posts and comments. I am trying to work on it, but man you take a couple days off for sickness/picture taking and you can really fall behind!

5. I still haven't seen The Martian and I am dying inside.

6. I am feeling the need to be crafty and creative again. I predict painting in my future.

7. Pumpkin Pie Blizzards are awesome. IDK what anyone else says. Awesome.

8. Knitting is so relaxing. I wish I had started it sooner!

9. My favorite bra busted an underwire yesterday. I feel so betrayed.

10. I didn't have a tenth one but leaving it on nine felt weird and awkward. So here you go. 


Happy Thursday Everyone!

The Post That Didn't

Morning Everyone!

Okay so I was going to do a Linkup post today but last night as I was writing it the power went out and I lost it. 

Then I lost it. 

Sorry but after the chorus of "SERIOUSLY!?!?" I gave up and went to bed. This just isn't my week! 

So instead today I bring you and Throw Back Thursday Picture, A Baby Picture, and a Picture of the Puppies. I hope that will satisfy you! 

Tomorrow is the Friday Favorites and then Monday I will be doing a recap of my first ever 5K! Whoohoo! 

(My First Halloween)

(Five puppies left! ....Anyone want a puppy??) 

Okay I'm outta here, have a great day everyone!!!
