Happy {Halloween} Weekend.

I’ll never turn down a weekend but I haven’t been this happy to see one show up in quite some time. Work has been a bit quite hellish this past week and I’m ready to relax and let loose! Not to mention Halloween being my favorite holiday and getting to play dress-up.

This Weekend:
• Halloween party at K’s
• handing out candy to trick or treaters
• watch the OU/Nebraska game
• laundry!!!
• groceries
• work on Christmas gift projects

Happy Halloween!
Happy Weekend!

The Daily Eat: Penne with Pumpkin Cream Sauce.

I happen to have some leftover pumpkin puree and heavy cream hanging around in my fridge and can’t even wait to try out this recipe for Penne with Pumpkin Cream Sauce. Tomorrow just might be the perfect day for it in between college football and sleeping off tonight’s Halloween party fun…

Mad Props: October.

October was an amazing month for posts! I love how into Halloween people were and the Mad Props were really tough to narrow down this time around. Enjoy my October favorites!

Happy Halloween.

It’s supposed to be a beautiful day here in OKC today – perfect trick or treating weather. And not too shabby for the costume party I’m attending tonight either. What will I be, you ask? Well, let me tell you. Two years ago I was Alice in Wonderland and this year I’ll be recycling the ensemble with the key addition of chains – tada – Alice in Chains!

Columbian-born illustrator Marcela Restrepo’s Leftyhand Shop is truly amazing! Take a look for yourself. It’s oozing awesomeness.

Halloween Eve.

Yes, Halloween Eve is what I actually refer to today as – I’m probably more excited today than Christmas Eve!!

The Daily Eat: Pumpkin Spice Muffins.

I baked these Pumpkin Spice Muffins last night as a sort of early Halloween treat for my office. They’re super moist and end up with the most amazing muffin top (in a good way!). And yes, my house smelled amazing all evening because of them!

Nutrition Pyramid Lunchbox.

Everyone knows the food pyramid, but it’s a whole different story when it comes down to actually following the guidelines set by it. The Nutrition Pyramid Lunchbox is a brilliant visual guide and reminder.

Attack.

This is me at work today. (Except more brunette, bustier and wearing jeans.) Those birds are my clients and the projects that are all of a sudden flocking back after weeks out. All at once. Can you see how awesome it is?
