Fall, Football, Freeze.
Tomorrow is fall.
This chick has been going to football.
That means it's time to get out the mittens, hat, scarf, (yes!) and double up on socks and prepare to freeze.
Aaron is a senior. No I don't want to talk about it thanks for asking. Evan is a freshman, another unbelievable fact. Both boys are doing well in their respective positions, that I happen to know nothing about. It's just something ok-lots of things that prevent me from truly grasping football in it's entirety. Something about my true enjoyment of people watching, and then all the technicalities that there seem to be in the sport. Maybe I've just made that complication up-either way I think it exists and I can't just "get it." But I go, I watch, and I cheer when I understand what is going on.

My B-Day
I know it's been almost a week...but I had a few highlights I wanted to share.
.Flowers.
I could get flowers everyday and still be awestruck by the beauty of each petal. I just love flowers...especially in paper.
.Lunch.
It is awsome how a nice lunch with a good friend can totally make your day brighter. Not to mention the fact that Jimmy John's bread should be outlawed it's so good.
.A quiet afternoon.
Well kinda. While I was blessed with many birthday wishes my afternoon was quiet and spent basically alone. I spent the time reflecting and in thanksgiving on how blessed I truly have been over the last 21 years.
.Grandma's Stew.
I think the title alone is pretty self explanatory on why this was a highlight. Oh and angel food cake!
.Movie.
Maybe not what lots of people do on their birthdays but I had some complications with other plans and had been wanting to see "The Help." So worth it!
.Dessert Take II.
Senor Smarty Pants made me a cheesecake dessert type thing. Due to some health issues, I've been on a pretty strict diet, so he went out of his way to make me something similar to my craving of cheesecake with, get this-Tofu!
.Toms.
You know what's more awesome than getting anew pair of adorable and insanely comfortable Toms? Knowing that now there is one less kid who is in need of a pair of shoes.
And my favorite:
.A Teapot.
While eating my oatmeal my Grandma picked up an old teapot that had been sitting on the counter for over a week (I thought it was a decoration or something) she then said "Here's your present, Happy Birthday!" It was odd and humorous and I wouldn't have it any other way. Mom says Grandma is getting more and more like her own mother-things might just get very interesting. I'm glad I get to experience it.

Unplugged.
Yeah...I didn't get a "mum's the word monday" picture posted. But I have good reason, I promise. I spent yesterday "Unplugged." I was out working in my garden, it was so beautiful out yesterday, and I decided I didn't want to waste my time in the house watching TV, mindlessly cruising around on Facebook, or even paying attention to my phone. So I decided to go "Unplugged." It was great. I got things done that I wouldn't have otherwise.
I so enjoy my blog, and Facebook helps me keep in touch with many people. TV is many times my escape, just change it to "Food Network or HGTV and forget about everything else. My phone is a bit of a crutch and it's much more important when I'm away from home, or Senor Smarty Pants. Yesterday it was nice to put these things back into their place. I was present all day long, it was wonderful.
So that's why mum's the word monday is missing, I will maybe plan a little better next time...or not.
I will be "Unplugged" another day very soon. I really think it should become a weekly thing for me.
Blessings!
