misc musings

1. I've finally joined Pinterest. Why in the WORLD did it take me so long to give in. It's ah-mazing.
2. Holy cow- I can cook. And I can cook good food that Ryan actually wants to eat. Heck, he devours! Not to mention, I enjoy cooking- it brings me so much satisfaction to know that I can take raw ingredients and feed myself and my man. I made some fabulous things this past weekend. So much so that tonight we have to have leftovers- no room in the fridge for more!
3. We're heading to Chicago this weekend to see these fine people. Looking forward to escaping for a mini getaway with my Hubs. Mark did his undergrad at MSU, so it will be fun to watch the MI vs. MI State game with them. And I can't wait to meet their precious daughters. 
4. Tori Spelling just had her third child. A girl. For those of you who know me, you'll know this is a big deal. Since she's pretty much my BFF and all. 
5. I haven't written my thank you cards yet for all the wonderful wedding gifts we received. I feel so ashamed, but I tell ya- there is a good reason for it. I'm waiting on my disk of pics so I can order TY cards online. Jennette tells me as long as I get them out by Thanksgiving, I'm in the clear. Hope she's right!
6. This past weekend, we made it to Eastern Market, the cider mill and took the dogs on a nature walk. Unfortunately, the Indian corn I bought for my front porch was eaten by squirrels. Dern you city squirrels! They have no fear. Neither does the rabbit living under our back deck. 
7. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go peruse the Internet so I can pin some beautiful things to my boards.
