Okay so...........

I guess there have been a few things going on since I last blogged. I'm such a slacker. Tad has been traveling more, fun for the first night, but then I am ready for him to be home again. I have been baking and cooking more....yum yum yum. The weather has been pretty nice so a scootering I have been. I am getting pretty comfortable and learning the streets pretty well, too. Each day I start with a trip to the gym, its about two miles from the house, then I tan and sometimes hit the grocery store. Then it is back home to hang out with the kids (AKA) Moey and Alley, the dogs. Get my butt in gear and get dressed, run any errands Tad might have, and then venture out. I have found the hobby lobby, Joann's, Ross, targets, petsmart, and a whole host of cute little places I want to check out. Tomorrow's adventure takes me downtown...cute shops, cup cakeries and just general tooling about. My scooter is the best - I'm getting about 90 miles per gallon. Can you believe that - its like a prius, only mine makes noise and I get way better parking places. I have only been almost killed a couple time - people suck, and the bus drivers do to - 2 buses have almost taken me out. Bastards. Anyway....lets see...

My friend Cami, who is in the process of moving up to Denver, came to hang out with me and Tad the other night. We had a lot of fun, so much I don't even remember everything. Thank goodness for cell phones with access to facebook and cameras. I was informed that I spent a lot of time in the ladies room, I found random flower pics, facebooked while I should not have, text friends at wee hours of the night and recorded a fight, that I truly have NO recollection of. Fun night...woke up on the bathroom floor with my robe, my dog and glass of water. Thanks Babe. Needless to say, Saturday was a rough one.

The mountains here have some snow on them already, the leaves are starting to change and the mornings are definitely a little crisper than before, its beautiful though. I am so glad to be here. I have missed true Autumns - not the two weeks we would get in AZ, winter....well that will be another experience, but I am looking forward to it. Maybe I can get some chains for my scooter tires - ha ha ha. At that point I will be home bound. Hopefully cooking, canning and baking myself nutty.

So things I have made recently:
Peanut Butter Chocolate cupcakes - AMAZING
Banana Bread (for the first time) - Fabulous
Cheesy spinach tortellini - so yummy
Hawaiian BBQ Chicken - to die for
Spicy Chicken Casserole - yeah not so much

I just bought some yummy zucchini and more bananas....more to come
