The Wonderful World of October

Do you feel that? Feel what you ask, well you guys it's finally October! This is my favorite month of the year. I looooove it. I was in such a funk this last week and couldn't figure out why. Then I realized that I was really in need of October to be here. I love my birthday because I share it with Jordan and I get a holiday, I mean how fucking cool, but if I had to choose my own birthday it would definitely be in October. It's just the best. It makes me so super mega ultra happy.

This month I have a lot going on. I figure I'd fill you in on why I just love October so much. I'm a little overwhelmed just thinking about it all but I'm still super pumped!

- I have not just one, but three concerts coming up this month!! Eeeeep. This weekend I'm gonna go see Blake Shelton with my aunt and miss Kyla who went with us to see Kenny in May. I'm more than ready for some debauchery and craziness. Who knows what will happen when we're all together. Then I'm gonna go see Florida Georgia Line and Keith Urban. Both of those shows are in the same week!

- It's Maple Leaf month. I know I've talked about Maple Leaf before, it's just so fun. There's a whole week of shenanigans to go to, some things I wanna try and get to are the lip sync competition, a couple of wine tastings at our local liquor stores, and of course the parade! The morning of the parade the fire department hosts a pancake feed and I haven't been in forever. Friday night before the parade our one and only local watering hole somehow manages to fit the whole town in the bar and it's a wild and crazy party. I haven't been but I want to go this year. 

- My daddy, littlest sister, and uncle's birthdays are all this month. I really want to get together with them and have a great dinner and just a good time. 

- It's gonna start getting cold! I already pulled out my new boots because hello, it's October. I love the crisp air against my face and layering my clothes. What's better than leggings and boots! 

- I'm gonna start using my crockpot again. I love my crockpot I just don't think that there's anything I can make in the warmer months. I want to use it once a week for sure. Know of any good crock pot recipes? Let me know!

- And uh...ya know Halloween!! It's one of my favorite holidays. I just love it. My daughter obviously got this from me because all year long she talks about what she wants to be. I'm not even kidding. Halloween talk at our house goes on for a while. She's already planning what she wants to be next year. It might be a problem. Blake and I are going to a Halloween pub crawl in Springfield. I'm not buying a new costume because I can just wear my one from last year again. Because it's the fucking bomb!

- It's time to start thinking about Christmas presents! I know what I want to get mi familia and I need to start working on them. If I keep procrastinating then I won't be able to do it. Ahhhh. 

So bring it on October, I'm ready for you!! Are you pumped for October?

See Ya August

It's Friday. I'm neither excited or disappointed about this. Weird right. My thoughts are jumbled today so youu're gonna get brain mush. Are you ready?

- My draft for my fantasy team is tomorrow. Did I tell you what the name was? Well, incase I didn't it's Tittsburg Feelers. Thanks to Sarah for the wonderful idea. And none of my friends that are playing know that I have a blog so they think I'm a creative genius. Thanks again Sarah! I've done thismuch to prepare for the draft tomorrow. I know, I know. How am I gonna win if I haven't even looked at anything. Last year's winner just picked hot guys and she won. I'm sure Blake is gonna sit me down and teach me way too much for my brain to handle tomorrow.

- Damn Texans beat the Cowboys last night. My blogland bestie Jordan loves the Texans. She's on cloud nine today. I told her not to get used to that shit. What's worse is that I heard the stadium was full of more Texan fans than Cowboy fans. AT OUR OWN STADIUM. Pathetic. I bet they're just pretending they usck this season that way when pre-season is over they can kick ass.

I shouldn't make fun of my own team but this is hilarious. Best caption wins!

- Why are my bills always due at the beginning of the month. My 3 most expensive ones are all due the first 3 days of the month. I'm poor for like a week and a half after that. And about the time I catch back up and think, "Oh, I can go shopping! Woohoo!" it's bill time again. Jeez, life is always getting in the way of fun stuff.

- I'm glad August is over. All it brought to the game was shitty weather. The first two weeks all it did was rain. I thought about building an ark. It's partially started in Blake's back yard. Then, after the rain it brought a terrible heat wave. See ya next year August. You suck, nobody's going to miss you. And while we're at it, let's just skip September and get straight to the good stuff - October! I have so much going on that month and I can't wait!

- If you follow me on insta or twitter than you know that my other blogland bestie Meg sent me a sweet little package. See, here in the middle of the flyover states, it's hard to get craft beer. We get all the trends last, after they're not trends anymore, and it's no different with craft beers. Meg had written a post about fall beers and one of them she loves is called Pumking. I just had to have some, and not to my surprise, you can't get any around here. So the sweet girl sent me a bottle! I've been holding out on trying it but I'll try it tomorrow. I need to know if I like it because I found other websites that will ship it to me. Can't wait for that!

- Work is sucking right now. Apparently when the kiddies go back to school nobody comes out to eat. And when they do they leave their wallets and their brains at home. Speaking of work, I know that you guys love work stories so every Wednesday I try and blog about some. Come check it out.

It's Friday and I need to back my azz up with Whitney. My favorite song off of Luke's new album is finally on GrooveShark. Thanks to whoever uploaded it. I tried but my iTunes is all fucked up so I couldn't do it. Enjoy. Peace out kids.

Maple Leaf Weekend

It's time for my weekend update. It was just way to much for a Monday though.

I had a great weekend! I was off of work all weekend long and I got to spend it with people who mean the most to me!

Friday night boyfriend and I went to another couple's house to drink too much beer and play crazy drinking games. Y'all ever heard of Presidents and Assholes? If you haven't I suggest you look it up. Normally we get  crazy drunk but because everybody had to get up in the morning we weren't passing out drinks like we do. I didn't take a lot of pictures. I did get this one though

This was boyfriend's hand...see I told y'all he can be quite evil. He didn't get this once...but TWICE! 

Saturday was the one and only Maple Leaf festival! I got all super excited for it just to be let down by the stupid parade. It was terrible. There were hardly any floats, the bands didn't really perform, there were two 15 minute breaks in the parade and so many politicians! I'm sorry but that's just not what I came for. And it's a long parade. Not some rinky dink bullshit...so it could have been better. I wanted to day drink and I think if I would have been day drunk it would have worked out better. True story. 

My momma and Teag

The wife and I 

Boyfriend and Teag

Teag and I 

Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the whole group, with my momma, my aunt or boyfriend =(

I do have to say though, I was quite pleased with the company I had. Those six people with 

me that day really mean a lot to my heart and I wouldn't have had it any other way. 

I did take one picture during the parade too! We have a place here that makes dynamite. They had a float for the first time this year and it was really cool! I'd say best thing in the parade. 

Yes, that's confetti! They had "dynamite" that shot out confetti. Pretty fucking awesome if you ask me.

After the parade we all went to lunch at a local Chinese place. It was just ok. Why did we eat lunch at a restaurant when there is plenty of fried food to be had by all? Beats me. I didn't eat very much so that I could have the fried foods. See I had a fat weekend and I'm not ashamed. I ate whatever I wanted because starting yesterday I'm watching what I'm eating. Whole different post though. Let's look at my food intake. 

Ok, so this wasn't mine but I had a lick and it was good!

Roasted corn on the cob. Umm yes! I put garlic salt and pepper on it and it was delish.

Look at all that butter on the top of that paper towel. Mmmmmm. lol.

Funnel cakes...I never eat a whole one by myself. I appreciate not visiting the dentist.

Teag loves sugar so she munched out on it.

Again, not mine but I had some. 

And finally day drinking...haha. Just this one though. I was too tired for more.

Seriously there was so much more I wanted to try. There was a caramel apple delight...it looked good! 

And I just love fair foods. I can't help it. 

We walked around and looked at the arts and craft show. Teag got a really cool name plate for her wall in her room.

She loves hearts, peace signs, and rainbows so this made her really happy. I think my daughter was a hippie in another life. 

And all I got was this 

A really super sore sunburn. 

And memories to last a life time! 

I seriously could not have been happier with my day. After we were done Wife and I went 

to boyfriend's house and hung out with him for a bit. Then we went to eat at Olive Garden with my aunt

for a great girlie dinner! 

Sunday was filled with some more family time! Auntie and I took Teag to a corn maze/fall festival type deal.

I was actually looking for a pumpkin patch but fell into the corn maze thing. It was fun. And we got to buy a pumpkin so now we finally have one! 

See how excited she was! I just love it. lol. 

And that was my fabulous weekend. I'm pretty happy about it. =) 

Hello October!
