Happy Weekend.

This weekend somehow managed to sneak up on me. (I’m thinking because I was sick and unconscious for most of Tuesday!) All I can think about at the moment is a nice nap as I try to get rid of the tail end of whatever I’ve got a touch of.

This Weekend:
• see Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist
• buy some pumpkins!
• Halloween costume shopping with C
• make Roxy’s annual vet appointment
• hang more things on the walls
• heal (both physically + mentally!)

Happy October!
Happy Weekend!

Excuse and an Update.

This week has been incredibly busy and strange all at the same time. Posting should be back to normal come Monday.

Updates:
• I’m almost over this awful virus (nothing a little alcohol won’t kill!)
• I made a freestyle apple tart yesterday for Chris’s belated birthday treat
• I’ve decided to recycle my Halloween costume from two years ago this October 31st… with a twist
• I found out one of my very best friends is moving to Tulsa for six months while her husband is out to sea with the Navy(!) – which means she’ll only be an hour’s drive away
• After 2 1/2 years of living in Oklahoma I finally gave in and got my OK driver’s license this morning – just in time for the election!

The Daily Eat: Plum Clafoutis.

“A clafoutis is somewhere between a cake, a custard, a sweet omelette and a souffle. But really, I shouldn’t grope for a category: it is what it is. It’s a clafoutis. And it’s delicious.”

Can’t wait to try this Plum Clafoutis!!
