Meghan, Tom and I went to Pizzeria Piccola on Friday night. Gosh, I miss that place so much.
My visit on Friday made me miss a lot of things about "home" actually. I saw a lot of people from my childhood, had a hot fudge sundae with pecans from Gille's with two of my best grade school friends, hung out with Dre and to top it off, did some shopping with Meg at Mayfair.
Perhaps one day I will return for good...
My new favorite thing. Betty Crocker lemon poppy seed muffin mix.
It comes in a pre-mixed bag, you just at water, it makes about 25 mini miffins and it was like 95 cents or something ridiculously cheap like that.
love that value!
this is a pretty standard scenario every night in our house at about 6pm. Jon works the grill and I'm usually getting the side dishes and drinks ready in the kitchen (where I am standing taking this pic). I am already kind of bummed grilling season is almost over too.
What is my problem?
I can't handle that the weather will turn cold in 2 months this year. At all.
We took the day after our anniversary off so we could have an extended weekend of fun. We layed by the pool and for most of the day, we had the whole pool to ourselves. I remember being really pumped about that as a kid - and you know what? As a 28 and 31 year old, we were still pretty pumped. Some things never change.
Sunday the 9th was our 1 year anniversary! We spent the day hanging out at the pool, then we went to Tutto Pasta for dinner and came home and had an anniversary cake made by Aly that was the same flavors as our wedding cupcakes. We also busted out our wedding shoes and wore them to dinner. Such a great day!
We headed to the State Fair last Saturday with Gina and Todd. I had a lot of inner dialogue about how I was going to lug my camera around. After a lot of back and forth, we finally got to the fair, parked the car, started walking to the gate aaaand I realized I didn't put the battery in my camera. eeeeeerrrrrghh! I was in a pretty bad mood for at least 10 mins afterwards.
There are worse things in life obviously though, so I got myself some Saz's and all was ok in the world :)
We checked out the animals, the pig races and the other standard fair stuff. So fun. I am already kind of mourning the coming end of summer and this kind of stuff. I love it so much.
There was a full moon on Aug 5th. I tried real hard to get a good pic of it, but they all turned into white glowing blobs. I made some first attempts with no luck, went inside to do a little research, came back and readjusted, but still no luck.
I am pretty sure I figured out that to get a clear shot of the moon (with the crevases, dark spots, etc), one needs some equipment that I don't/didn't have at the time (remote and tripod specifically).
We went with the Doritos, of course. Is there ever a competition when Doritos are in the mix? Not in my book.
Jon is the cookie maker in our family. His usually turn out better than mine do.
Usually.
This batch came out looking like flatty boom batties though. Is it because of the humidity? They still tasted good and everything...just flat central.
Check out the new numbers at Culver's. I'm not so much a fan as I was of the blue ones though, to be honest.
The color of the ice cream is throwing me off also. Not a fan.
I got this little guy at The Art Fair on the Square a few years ago. The artist who sold it to me told me some folklore about it - that it brings good luck, I would come into money, etc., etc.
BS. None of that happened to me. But that not really the reason I bought it either. I still think it is cute.

Guess whose idea it was for this shot? My husband's. That's right, he has been roped into this little project as well. I think he even suggested the black and white. I think I'll keep him around.
firey sunset. Never gets old. This got me thinking that I need to get up and go to this spot for some sunrise pics.
I'm not so much a morning person though, so while this is a great idea in theory, I will be surprised if I follow through on it.
yikes, I am WAY behind on the picture posting. The lack of posts does not equal lack of picture taking though. Trust.
I am slightly obsessed with sky/sunset/cloud formation/storm/moon pics as of late. On this night, there was a nasty storm that had just rolled through. About an hour after I took this pic, the clouds in the sky looked like a pink and orange billowy blanket. It was so cool, but none of those pics turned out for some reason. boo. This one is cool too though. It has a Six Feet Under vibe to it to me. (God, I love that show)
