wordless any day

My workload exploded in the past couple of weeks...so as soon as I can get a grip on it, I'll post something! I am enjoying reading everyone else. I have not made any cards or anything for a month now and I miss it.

cupcake car by my good friend Little Debbie

I've invested so much money and so many calories in Little Debbie...that I should be driving one of these cupcake cars! I hope I find a place to fill out one of these chances to win.

I found this at video at Blackberry Beads Website. She makes the most beautiful lampwork beads and other things!


Check out this that I saw on Waiter Rant. I could get my kitchen and living room remodeled on this one dinner total!

more food pics

Since eating is one of my favorite things to do...I have to show more food pictures.

We went to the Greek festival in mid October. It was so good that we went twice!
Moussaka and triopita
desserts
This is a box lunch from the new restaurant in the Publix shopping center near our house. It's so good. And only $9.99 for lunch. We went to the habatchi table one evening and it was really good, too.

Favorite restaurant

Our new next-door neighbors own a restaurant in downtown Pensacola. The husband next-door is also the chef. We went a month ago and also Halloween night...I just have to say that it's our new favorite place to eat. They have a lot of tapas to choose from and then great entrees. I had a dessert the last night but forgot to take a picture. They are only open at night.

Pictures from both times we've eaten there.

Scary Halloween

Here are some scenes from the scary cemetery today. I bet it will be really creepy tonight when the sun goes down.

Pirate, Indian and Priest

Happy Halloween!!

The husband went to a Halloween party at Herbie aka Big Casino's parents' house last night. That's me in the pirate outfit!! Don't I look good dressed up in a costume??
ha ha ha .... just kidding. I never looked that good! That's Herbie's other mother! Looks like a good time. The husband usually doesn't go to parties, but he committed to this one. So he dressed up like a priest. I put the gray in his hair. I wish I had known sooner that he was going to go because I would have gotten some other accessories to dress that up. I would love to go as Cruella Deville...so I might start getting some things together to do that next year...in case they have a party next year.

Here is the husband and Herbie/Big Casino's other mother.

Party food table...yummy cupcakes I see.

What a crew of cheerleaders!

Here is the husband with his friends. Indian, priest and pirate! Herbie's other dad is the pirate. They had a good time sitting around and talking while the younger folks were dancing to rap music. The husband finds that funny because he does not enjoy rap music.


I hope to get by the haunted cemetery to get pictures of it all set up and ready for tricksters. I hope it doesn't rain and cause it not to happen. I saw the witch up in the tree. Hadn't seen that in about 3 years. So I want to get by there and get a picture of it.

I am wondering if anyone out there knows if induction or radiant cooktops are good to cook with?? I really like the way they look and think what I've read about them is what I would like, but I don't know anyone that has one to ask any question.

Scary Cemetery 2009 part 1

It's that time of year again! I took Emma for a stroll today and went past the scary cemetery. It's coming to life. Looks like there will be more to come. It is supposed to rain on Saturday. I'm not sure all the ghouls will come out if it's raining...but I plan to walk by there again to check it out and see what shows up.

I remember enjoying haunted houses, scary movies, ghost stories...but I am so scared now as an adult. Why is that?? I hardly watch a scary movie and would not go in a haunted house now. I have watched some of the shows on HGTV and Travel Channel about haunted amusement park or events that happen near Halloween, and I just could not go there now. But it is fun to see people scream and be scared.






I have pictures of food to share soon. Aunt Sue and the husband and I have been eating around town a little bit.

Glad and sad at the same time

As the husband was on his way home from work Monday, he called me to let me know he was on his way because I wanted to start cooking a bit before he got home. He told me he was bringing home a surprise. I could tell by his voice it was something special. I said, "Is it black?" (I was thinking a black pug.) He said no. I said, "Is it fawn?" He said, "Yes, he's fawn." I said, "Is it little or big?" He said, "It's big." I said, "Put the phone up to it and let me hear." He said he was driving and would just see me when he got home. I said, "What is its story?" He said he had to go ... he was driving.

I was all excited because I thought we were getting another pug...even though we said we wouldn't do it. Then I thought, oh, it's a kitty cat...even though we aren't doing that yet, either. And I thought: He should have asked me before he brings something else home...even though I wouldn't say no.

So I go outside and wait...and it was a stuffed dog! That does tricks when you talk to it! One of his co-workers let him bring it home to see what our dogs would do. He is going to donate it to a retirement-type home because his aunt had it at one and they folks loved it. Anyway, I took a video of the pugs when it turned it on. Bad thing is he has to yell at the thing to make it do what he says...and it decides what it's going to do anyway.

I was a little disappointed and glad at the same time that he didn't bring home a real pug!
