Miscellany Monday

1. It's Monday Already?

Don't you hate how weeks drag along but the weekends fly by? We had a great weekend. Saturday we went to New Bern for date night. We love trying new places and try not to eat at the same place twice. We ate at Captain Rattys. And I was psyched to eat some steamed clams! Not the same as New England, but they will do. THEN we called up our favorite couple, Carmen & Mike, and headed to a haunted bar! We didn't see any ghosts, but we had a great time!

 2. I'm Craving the Smell!

I love the smell of fall. I want to smell it right now! Apples, pumpkins,cinnamon. I've been daydreaming about a new autumn blog layout, Halloween costumes, and apple picking. We're having a turkey dinner tonight...if that doesn't scream FALL I don't know what does!

3. Check My Pulse, Please!

Miley and Danny let me sleep in til 9:00 yesterday. I don't know how he kept her quiet, but it was great! But instead of waking up refreshed, I woke up thinking that Danny probably should have checked my pulse. I haven't slept that late since before we got married!

4. This Just In: I'm Cheap.

I decided on a dress for the ball! My sister sent me one of her old prom dresses. So, I'm going the "free" route. It's super cute: long, black, low back, with some jewels, and it's a halter. Pictures soon, I promise! It needs to be hemmed...badly.

5. I didn't Watch the Emmys.

But this is my review of the winners. I'm sad that Matthew Fox didn't win for Best Actor in a Drama for LOST. I love that Jim Parson's won for Best Actor in a Comedy for Big Bang Theory. I'm so happy that American Idol did not win for best competition show...and that Top Chef did. And after looking at a bunch of pictures, I decided the show was missing something: good fashion! 

6. "Mom, Let's Play Fetch!"

Miley has a new toy. She found a tree to play with.
