The Revision.

Pardon me. I was slightly intoxicated last post and this is what it should really look like.

When you google image kikikins, this is what you get:

The Apple and Cranberry Crisp.

Look what I just made!!!

Apple & Cranberry Crisp! I haven't tried it yet, but doesn't it just look delectable!? It's super easy, check out the recipe here. Although if you try it yourself, the recipe is in two pieces so make sure you click the link for "crisp topping" under the ingredients.

As a side note, I was just told that it smells like God in my apartment. Don't you want to try it now?

The Best Friday Ever.

A friend of mine started something on her blog that I would like to follow suit on. Go ahead, call me a copy cat but I love the idea. It's called the Friday Five. You can follow hers here, thanks Sara!

1. New job new job I have a new job! I start Monday as a teacher's aide in the Special Ed. classroom in Georgetown Middle School. I cannot possibly begin to express how excited I am! I have wanted to work in a school for as long as I can remember, okay well or at least since high school ish.

2. This means that today was my last day of my previous job. So long BEACON! How I will not miss driving 1.5 hours to work only to find that no one is home. And while they are cute, I will not miss this:

Yeah yeah... just wait for the sound effects...

3. Mom and Dad are coming this weekend! I love my family soooo much! My brother moved to Boston last spring at it has been wonderful being so close to him. Not to mention that every time they come up my Dad gets us all tickets to who ever is in town that weekend. Last time we saw James Taylor and tomorrow we see the GREAT

ELTON JOHN! And some of his friends.

4. Apples Apples Apples. Applesauce. Apple crisp. cobbler. pie. etc. Fall is in full swing and it is fabulous. Despite the rain, it's a beautiful thing living in New England in October!

5. No fall is complete without the proper footwear! I absolutely love my new brown suede boots! Which looks something like this but we're hardly this expensive, nothing better than a good deal and Gap Outlet!

Have a great weekend everybody! See you monday on my first day of school!

The June.

June is my second favorite month after October. Nothing beats that very first day of shorts and a tank top and a trip to the beach. And beer on the porch at 7:00 at night when the sun is just starting to think about setting. June is my birthday month. It's ice cream cake with chocolatey crumble goo.. mmmmm. It's watermelon that got dropped in the sand and annihilated by psycho seagulls. It's bare feet and splinters and having to pull them out with tweezers. June means iced hazelnut coffee that sweats so much that you could make a whole other drink from it's condensation. It's frisbees and beach balls and sunglasses!!!

Umm... duh. I know it's October which is my favorite month. But one of my dearest blog reader's goes by the nickname June which stands for junior. His first name is really Jay. Jay Junior, Junior Jay, JJ. Whatever. Junebug. Anyway, this post is dedicated to him. Read my blog and I might write an entry just for you too.

The little pepper.

I cut open a pepper this morning to make chili (which was delicious by the way) and look what I found...



A little baby pepper! Awww... I thought it was so cute!

The Fantasy.

Fantasy Football that is!

Ok I do realize I am a girl. But I argue that this does not mean that I can't play fantasy football. It also doesn't mean that I don't know anything about football. You see Big and I started dating 4 years ago on the 23rd. Shortly thereafter I was told that I had to have a favorite football team. Actually, this might not be true. Most likely it was the case that I got jealous of all of the football talk around me that I wanted a team of my own so that I could relate in SOME small way to Big and the new friends I was making through them. THUS I picked the New Orleans Saints. And here is why....



Doesn't that make you feel part of something?! For some reason, every man out there thinks that this is the worst reason to be a Saints fan ever. But this commercial taught me respect for my team, it did make me feel apart of something. While I have never been to the the NOLA I feel like I am a Saint. Listen to the song:

"We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we'll all be reunited
On a new and sunlit shore

Oh when the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in" - Louis Armstrong

And look at their teams... the Chiefs? The 49ers? Not Superbowl Champions!

But anyway, the opening game of the 2010 NFL Season (Saints vs. Vikings) is on and if I get caught blogging during the game I will be called an unfaithful fan. I just got yelled at for listening to LFO during football. Let's go Saints!
