This weekend I managed to:
• sleep a lot to try and fool this cold-thing into going away
• go to a friends to eat copious amounts of dip and watch the pitiful OU/Miami game
• run a bajillion errands Sunday afternoon
• get a little bit of random unplanned Xmas shopping done
• eat Sunday dinner at my parents’
I’ve been putting up a valiant effort in fighting off a cold that’s threatening to take away my weekend, but it seems to be gaining an edge. The achiness has moved in and my willingness to venture out of the house and moved on. If by chance you’re feeling under the weather as well, content yourself from your couch with these lovely links from the past week… Happy Weekend!

Posted In picture itI’m in the middle of a love affair with dip that’s been going on for as long as I can remember. It started innocently enough as a child, using a green pepper from a veggie tray to scoop mouthfuls of it into my greedy little mouth. Ignoring social etiquette and using the same slice of pepper again and again, of course. Now it’s advanced to a high level, for example this Roasted Eggplant Dip. But I still find it hard to turn down a tub of french onion dip from the grocery store!

A cold front is pushing its way through Oklahoma today and bringing perfect weather with it, cool days and chilly nights. That’s right, it’s time to pull out your biggest, most favorite mug and settle in with a cup of warmth. Mine is one I bought in college for less than two dollars that’s an awful color of brown. But it fits my hand just so when I lift it up to drink! Do you have a favorite mug?
