October. my favorite month of the year. has flown by yet again. This year was different from all of the previous years in so many ways, I missed out on a few of my favorite activities, but, had so many wonderful new adventures. I went to Theater Bizarre for the very first time with the Party Cats, went to a pirate party, finally...

Of course I wait until mid-October to post a recap of September, of course! I am a full-fledged Party Cat, but I am also the pokiest of puppies. September was a fantastic month, despite all of the ups and downs.  Work has been brutal, trying so hard to stay on top of things, and I am still pretty skint, but I am managing....

Winter doesn't officially start until December 21st, but I am not sure if I will get a chance to finish the book I am reading before then. I just looked at my Goodreads goal for the year, and  was disappointed to see that I only read 16 books so far this year. In my teenage/early 20s years, I could read 2-3 books per week, even...

Since I am slightly overwhelmed now that I am back to work, and I have a million things to do at home, I thought that I would keep today's post short and sweet. This monstrosity is what I made last year to wear for the turkey trot, and I decided that the Amazing Technicolor Dream Turkey needed to return this year. Because it...

I had honestly thought that the last of the #FallShit was behind us, then we drove past this hill covered in yellow leaves last weekend. Oak Park was holding out on us! Right now however, there is about 1-2 inches of snow on the ground, but then it is supposed to get back up to the 50's on Monday, so I have no...

More fall eats! This frosting recipe is super easy, and I feel really lazy for posting this, because it is honestly just this recipe with cinnamon added to it. I like this one more because I am a cinnamon fiend.  Get 3 cups confectioners sugar 1 cup butter, softened 1 tsp vanilla extract  2-3 tsp whipping cream  1-2 tsp cinnamon (to taste) Mix...

In junior high, I really loved The X-Files. In junior high, kids were mean, and teased me for loving The X-Files. Not all of the kids, most of them didn't really care, but there were a few that would snicker, and mock the awesome T-shirt my parents bought me for Christmas one year. It hurt, a lot more than it should have, because...

PIE. I love, LOVE pie. I love pie more than cake, more than cupcakes (even though cupcakes are my favorite things to bake), more than most desserts. I decided to try and make sweet potato pie over the weekend, because sweet potatoes are my crack. My favorite vegetable + my favorite dessert = breakfast for the week. Yep, breakfast of champions over here.  Anyway,...

Another outfit post, another park. This one we found in Ferndale, right after getting some lunch at Hilton Road Cafe (another place that I should do a blog post on!). This outfit was inspired by one of Tieka's fall outfits, and although  I like hers loads more, this was the perfect outfit for a cold Saturday out and about with Kyle, layers FTW!...

This dress, this stupid dress! The boat neck style makes it so that I have to either wear a strapless bra with it, or always layer something under/over it. It also has no shape, so it needs to be belted, something I unfortunately did not do for this particular outfit. It is also a little fitted around my bottom half, but really lose...

A few Sundays ago, Kyle and I were driving around after getting coffee with Kyle's brother Chris, and his wife Michelle. We ended up in Grosse Pointe, and after stopping in the Barnes & Noble for a book for Kyle, we headed out for a place to take outfit pics. We wandered through Grosse Point Park, and headed back into Detroit. We came...

\ I think these might just be the last "fall" outfit photos for this year! It has been snowing off-and-on the past two days, flurries mostly, but still. It is kind of awesome seeing the leaves half covered with snow though. I have been sure to instagram all of the #SnowShit, this far. See how clever I am? Just swapping out "fall" for...
