Q and A

It's been a loong while since I've done some Q and A, and I'm sure you've noticed the blog has been a little less than inspiring lately...sorry! So here's some answers for ya!

Q: Many moons ago Andrea asked, 'How many miles on the Red Fox?'
A ~ Great question. Right about 135k. Again, she was a good friend.

Q: Andrea also inquired about what flavor I had at Young's?
A ~ Another good question. I enjoyed my personal Young's favorite Cow Patty. It's a big mix of deliciousness!

Q: Lindsay asked about the new background
A ~ It's just a template that I customized to my liking. And the photo collage is compliments of Picnik.

Q: And no one asked, but I'm sure it just slipped your mind...
A ~ My Flag Football team ended up being 3-5. And the weather was beautiful every time!

Q: Allison did actually ask for more Puff blogs.
A ~ Gladly my friend! :)

Q: And now I ask you: what are you most Thankful for today?
A ~ Good friends!

Happy Week!

The 80's

Question: How did people get anything done in the 80's?!

Yesterday was MJ day at work, I borrowed Michael Jackson's #1's cd from a friend and listened to it all day, including the evening baking session with my bogo. Here's the thing...when it's on, I cant stop dancing! Even now as I type, it's on and, I have a little dance going on! Thriller!!!

Yesterday was also and excellent mail day - I love that! :) Here's what I came home to:

Linds says Cafe Sante is a must - I say OK! Happy Saturday, GO Blue!

Happy Halloween!

Trick or treat!

I still love Halloween! Costumes, candy, crisp cool air - it's just a fun time! This year the fun started at work with our annual pumpkin contest. We have a mystery grab bag item that we have to incorporate into our pumpkin and a theme. So this year our theme was 'At the Zoo' and our mystery item was chip clips. Meet Chilly -

Friday night Kari and I channeled our inner Olsen Twin and went as MK and Ashley - we met up with several friends from flag football -

Saturday morning a group of girlfriends and I ran in the 2nd Annual Alger Heights Halloween 5k; we were OPI Nailpolish - mani/pedis anyone!?

I'm Not Really a Waitress, No Spain No Gain, Lilac My Color?, Diva of Geneva, Pink Flamenco, Miami Beet

Saturday evening brought Trunk or Treat at church - HUGE success! We estimated we had 400+ people! :) Lots of costumes too -

It was a great weekend, I went to a bonfire too, and smell like it still! Linds and Marv were in town for a wedding so I spent some time with them. Now on to the week...It's the last week for Flag Football - 8 weeks sure flew by! And it's election day! Get out the vote!

Happy Week Friends!
