Pre birthday weekend

We celebrated my husbands impending birthday by buying him an Apple TV. He's been pawning over it ever since Steve Jobs announced it a year ago and he's so happy now that we are a fully mac'd out house. Two macbooks, three ipods, an Iphone( an old airport router) and an Apple TV. Now we can watch Youtube in big screen happiness and endlessly entertain ourselves with trailers over and over again. Yay.

Election Day!

For better or worse, someone new will be in the White House come January. The big question today is, who will it be. I voted, I'm happy i went. Somehow I feel like celebrating with a nice dinner of baked chicken and noodles. Maybe prep the pot roast for the crock pot tommmorow.

Mojo Crock pot chicken

Romantic weekend and a bunch of great deals at Publix is going to keep my crock pot busy this week!
Pot Roast Tuesday, Mojo Chicken Wednesday. Easy clean up thanks to crock pot liners from Reynolds. Yum.

Wedding Weekend in Auburn, AL

We finally made it to potentially the biggest wedding weekend of the season, my husbands brother Marc is getting married to his Katie love. We are taking off for Auburn today at lunch and my mom is taking our lil pumpkin and staying with him so he can see all the trick or treaters this weekend. This should be a lot a fun and a lot of romance!

Facebook and a little self adulation

Ok. I know I can turn off those silly applications that remind that people care, but come on! I am so used to ignoring myself that it shocks my system when people either tell me I'm pretty or memorable. Lately my thoughts have been so icky and shy that I can't stand any extra attention without giggling like a school girl!
On a totally different note I am loving this trend of small and microwaveable lunch options like the Healthy choice fresh steamers, or the easy mac, or Ronzoni Bistro pasta meal in a pouch. Basically if it fits into my little purple Bento, its kawaii!

YouTube has so many uses!

I was clicking through rather haphazardly and found myself on a series of language labs for toddlers and babies. Punkin was interested so I let the video play. This is like the lazy version of flash cards and he thought it was so cool to see pictures and words. I guess this means I should shop for flash cards for him.
