Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween blog family!  Sorry I have been MIA lately.  Been very busy with school.  Passing practicals and taking exams.  I've finally gotten a bit of a break, so I figured I could update you all with our Halloween!  Remember when I said I would never buy any stupid cat thing again...I lied.


Hubs went as Patrick Bateman from "American Psycho", I was Max from "Where The Wild Things Are", Tip was a tiger, and Lil' was a pumpkin.

Enjoy Halloween!  Don't forget to x-ray your candy!  

P.S. Phillip, father-in-law, coolest dude on Earth, and best winter driver, can you pick us up from the airport? Pweety pweese?

xoxo

sun-DAY at the museum.

This past weekend I went to the art museum with some friends.  You might be wondering why we went on the first Sunday of the month, well the first Sunday of every month is free, cha-ching!  Surprisingly this was the first time I've actually entered the building.  I've run up the steps before and posed a thousand times by Rocky, obviously.  I think posing by the Rockster is required once you enter the city. 

Anywho, Sunday was the first real fall day here on the East, and I was not prepared at all.  I decided I was from Wisconsin, so I was tough enough to not wear a jacket (mistake).  Thankfully the museum had wonderful climate control.  We saw Renoir, Picasso, Eakins, Monet, and Van Gogh, just to name a few of the big dogs.  It was pretty chill, and we very much needed relaxation. 

We ended the trip with brunch at this lovely little place called Sabrina's.  One word: Stuffed french toast.  It was basically two huge pieces of french toast with cheesecake in the middle.  Mmmmm....delectable.  I still feel full.  Overall, a good Sunday with the girls!  Here are some photographs of the day.  Enjoy!

So today I made a few purchases from the sale rack at Urban Outfitters.  I got a new lomography camera (can't wait to use it by the way), a couple belts, shoes, and some extras from their apartment section. {Read: It might sound like I spent a fortune, but I'm always one for a deal, and they had a killer sale on their already sale items.  Yippee!}  Let me just say right now, that I cannot wait to use the camera.  However, I'm still trying to find a store that has 120 film and can process 120 film.  (If you have suggestions, please let me know!) You will be the first to see the pictures when I can actually figure out the logistics of getting them developed!

And now onto those "extras".  Oh wait, side note: Remember when I took pictures of everything Hubs (Chef) cooked?  Well, he has continued cooking, but I haven't continued taking pictures.  Why?  Mostly because he cooks a lot, and I'm usually so starved from being at school for 12 hours, that I just stuff my face the instant I walk through the door.  So, don't fret, he's still a master chef, and his food is still amazing.  I'm just slack-a-lackin'....;) 

Okay, for real now, about those "extras".  I got a super deal on three books.  Two were cookbooks for Hubs, one about food trucks (love them), and the other about fearless baking (I supposed I can try and conquer this one).  The third was....wellll...I'll just show you the picture.

 Yes, I bought a cat coffee table book.  And here's another purchase.  Mind you, each of these was $2.50.  I told you this sale was goooood.  


The second purchase has infinitely improved my key situation.  Take a look.
On top of the "I thought it was a cat sweater", and these new purchases, I think I'm really starting to embrace this cat parent persona.  That just sounds weird.  After today, I made a decision that these will be the last of my cat inspired purchases.  Unless an amazing sale comes along again.
