Chili on the stove

Today is an awesome day. First, my son's soccer game in the rain. I'm not being sarcastic...it was a different experience and it's nice to get out of your comfort zone...that's what makes "life experience". The temperature this morning was 44 degrees. After soccer, showers, then we cooked Wal Mart pizzas. Right now we have a fire going in our fireplace. It is absolutely beautiful! It's cold and wet outside. We haven't put the heat on yet...haven't needed it yet. The fire is making our living room so very cozy right now. I am loving it. Right now there is  a pot of chili simmering on my stove. We'll be eating soon! I don't know about you, but I like to eat my chili with either corn bread or Saltine crackers with butter. I put a bit of butter on the cracker, then a bit of chili on top of that and in my mouth it goes! Sooooo goooood!!

Fall cleaning

Wow, nothing like watching 2  episodes of hoarders to get  you in the  mood to  clean!!

buckyes

I have all the ingredients to make Buckeyes! Oh man! I cannot wait to sink my teeth into one of those...or 5 of those!

pork roast and peanut butter cookies

Made a pork roast with apples for my in-laws  today...as well as peas, mashed potatoes, and biscuits. Going to deliver it after my hubby  gets home.  Boy Scouts tonight! Making peanut  butter cookies for the Scouts. I'm sure they will be happy!

time with my oldest son

Absolutely beautiful Fall day. My husband and my youngest son went backpacking for one night. My oldest son's allergies are bad right now so he was not too interested in going and getting worse in the damp night air. Things are pretty peaceful here today. I played Frisbee with my son this afternoon. He schooled me on the history of the Frisbee and the physics of how a Frisbee sails through the air. Am I smarter than an 8th grader? no.

Starbucks and friends

Warm and humid today. I put my air conditioning on. Today I am watching my nephew Lucas..he's napping now. My friend is stopping over for a visit today and she's bringing Starbucks!! Yay! I ordered a Chai Latte'. Oh yummy!! My house is actually pretty clean so all I had to worry about was touching up the bathroom. I love it when I get to visit with friends.

Fall is coming

Yesterday it rained all day long! The skies were dark and gray. By the end of the day it really started getting to me. I felt tired and lazy and chilled. I told myself I better learn to embrace winter or I am done for. So, I went and bought a bag of powdered sugar mini donuts. I put blobs of peanut butter on top of them and washed them down with some iced tea!!! LOL It made me feel better. hahahaha
