Happy Weekend everyone!

Okay so I am still pumped up about Auburn's 6th straight win!!

I saw this on Klancy's little sister's blog. I have seen lots of Auburn videos but this is by far one of my favorite.

War Eagle!

10 on Tuesday

1. I have decided I don't like sundried tomatoes. They are way to sweet.
2. I am checking out three books today at the library. A Walk to Remember, The Devil Wears Prada, and Taking Charge of your Fertility.
3. I saw two good movies over the Thanksgiving weekend. Knocked Up...it was funny, but I really thank Lauren for giving me the heads up on it being graphic during the birth scene...me and Wes were like WHOA! Beauty Shop was great! I really like Queen Latifah. I had a hard time dealing with Keisha Knight Pulliam (aka Rudy from the Cosby Show) being then character she was in this movie. She was kinda a prissy girl. But over all it was a great movie! Oh yeah a week ago we went and saw Beowulf at the theater. It was Wes' pick. It was pretty gory but not a bad movie. Definitely more of a man movie though.
4. We made two shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child through our church. I really enjoyed getting to buy little presents for the boy and girl that we made the boxes for.
5. I was listening to my Ipod this morning and I realized how broad of a range of music I listen to. I am not that much of a music person. I listen to it in the car, or when I am working out or cleaning house. Sometimes when I am studying. But my Ipod has a mixture of 80's pop, alternative, 70's funk and disco, classical, country and rap on it. I put songs I like on it. I guess I am diverse in my music.
6. So I have to cook more dinners at home this month. We have been really bad about eating out over the last month and that isn't really acceptable when we had perfectly good food here waiting to be cooked. Since I am not working, and I have all day to do my school stuff I should be having home cooked meals for Wes every night but I am failing miserably in that department. So I have been scouting out Kraftfoods.com.
7. I need a haircut but I don't know what I want my hair to look like. Hence I haven't went to the salon. Sometimes I think I want to go short again. My mom thinks I look better with short hair. But other times I like the freedom of pulling my hair into a clip if I don't want to fool with it. So who knows what I'll do.
8. I am putting up my Christmas decorations this week!
9. I am happy to say that I have gotten 75% of my Christmas shopping done!
10. I hope everyone has a great week!

Macy and Desserts

I don't have much to say but I do have a couple of cute pics of Macy and a couple pics of the two yummy desserts that I made for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was relaxing for me. We went to Wes parents for lunch and then we went by mom and dads that evening. Me and mom did venture out Black Friday but it wasn't too awful. I didn't find anything that was just an awesome find though. Wes was sick most of the weekend which sucked for him because he had a four day weekend and he doesn't get those often. We lounged on Saturday watching football. It was a good weekend in football for both of us. My husband the Tennessee fan is super happy that Tennessee is going to the SEC championship. I of course and happy that Auburn made it number 6 for beating Bama. Now I present to you my culinary masterpieces LOL :) and a some pics of my hamming it up niece.

This is just a chocolate dessert...I don't have a name for it but it was heavenly. Maybe I should name it Chocolate Heaven?

This was my pumpkin cheesecake. Boy was it good. I pretty much used the same recipe Lauren has on her blog I just tweaked it a bit. It definitely deserves a Yum-O!






Hope everyone has a great week!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I really meant to do this early but I have been pretty busy this week. So ya'll probably won't get this till after Thanksgiving. Oh well it's the thought that counts :)
I want to wish every one of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. I am grateful for every last one of you. You have all made some sort of impact on me and I am so thankful to know you and call you a friend. Enjoy your turkey and have fun shopping on Friday if you go. Have a blessed holiday and I love you guys :)

Oh yeah and one more thing.......

WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new low for an overpaid Alabama coach...

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3120600&POLL315=80000000000000000000000000000

I really think this is a total stretch and don't know if I am surprised by this or if I actually expected something like this to happen. Either which way it's a new low for The University of Alabama.

Fridays are Fabulous!

I do believe it is like one of my most favorite days of the week! Hope everyone has had a great week. Weekend plans? Wes' mom's b'day is Saturday so we are going to Flo-Town or more appropriately G'hill to do some celebrating with her. I tell you she is the easiest person to please sometimes. All she wanted was for her family as a whole to go out to eat together. Since Zach is coming home tonight for his Thanksgiving break...yeah Auburn gets the whole week off....it works out perfectly that we can give her what she wants. And as a bonus we get to take Little Zach as well. :) So we are going to Texas Roadhouse and Wes could not be happier because they have the best chicken fingers and rolls!
Before we head to G'hill though I am going shopping with my momma in the morning. She is really wanting to get her Christmas shopping done and pretty much all she is lagging is Wes. So I have to go show her some things he would like. I also need to get him a birthday present while we are out. His b'day is the 8th of December. You know what's funny? Both of my parent's in law children have b'day's around Christmas. Susan's is the 5th of January. I'm glad mine is six months after Christmas. It spreads things out nicely :)
Speaking of Christmas...what is on everyone's wish list this year? I couldn't really think of anything I wanted. I have stuff for the house I want but as I told my mom...I will buy that stuff before I would buy stuff for myself. So I am trying to think of personal stuff. The only thing I can think of that I would like is a Northface Jacket. Does anyone have one of these? My brother in law has one and loves it. It seems like it would be the perfect all weather jacket.
I also think I would like a larger George Forman...I have the single serving one. I used to have a larger one in college but somehow it got broke and how that happened is still a mystery to me. But anyway I don't hardly use the single one because when I am using it I am making for both me and Wes and it just takes too much time and hassel when you can only cook one at a time.
Okay jumping to another random thought...backing up to Wes b'day actually. I am probably getting him Guitar Hero Three.....that game is awesome...and addicting I might add. So I think I might get my mom to get him Guitar Hero Rockin the 80's....lol I think that may be more for me though because I am all about the 80's music :)
Well Monday I will have pictures of my do it yourself coasters made out of tile...they are turning out nicely. I just have to put the backing on them and seal them. I will finish them over the weekend. I am on a mission to organize my office today. I want it to be more sufficient than it currently is. I also have to clean bathrooms today. You know I think that is my most hated household chore. Although I will admit ironing is up there as well.
I have noticed around here people are already decorating their houses for Christmas. My firm rule is to wait till after Thanksgiving. We usually do it the weekend after Thanksgiving. My across the street neighbor is already decked out including the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree came up the day after Halloween. I want to celebrate Thanksgiving first personally.
Well happy weekend everyone! I bet next week is a short week for most :) Have a good one!
