Twinery, Coffee-mate & Martha Stewart

Happy Monday, friends! Can you believe we are just a few days away from October 1st? I can’t. Where has the year gone? It seems like yesterday JH was proposing and we’ve been married almost 2 months now. Craziness.

I received my first three spools of Twinery in the mail. I can’t wait to get tying!

I want to host a Halloween party just so I can make these… found in the current issue of Martha Stewart Living.

If you’ve been reading this blog for any time at all, you know I’m a sucker for office supplies. I need these write-on note tabs. I will be tabbing everything I can get my hands on. Pay special attention to the note in the bottom of the ad – writable, highlightable (best made-up word ever), removable AND RE-STICKABLE (#2 best made-up word ever)!

Most kids go the toy department or candy aisle as a kid, nope not me. Office supply section. As a child, my mother would find me with my arms full of pens, markers and restaurant order/recipe pads!

Also found in the current issue of Martha Stewart Living… Adult Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Do you make grilled cheese sandwiches differently now that you’re an adult??? I sure hope I’m not the only “adult” in America that still uses regular bread, butter and American cheese slices. But I have to say this spread is pretty enough to be framed!

Product of the Week: Nestle Coffee-Mate Cinnamon Vanilla Creme. It’s so so so scrumptious.

A few random thoughts to go along with this hodgepodge of a post:

• I love being married. It’s better than I ever imagined. JH is the best husband a girl could ask for. He loves every ounce of me. Even when I drink a little too much and decide to sing a fine selection of country music at the top of my lungs on the way home from a night out.
• My best friend, Jenna is getting married this Saturday. I’m so unbelievably happy for her. So happy that every time I talk about her wedding I get happy-teary. I’ll be the mess of a MOH on the alter.
• My mother started her final 6 week segment of culinary school today. We are so proud of her.
• My sister was home from college this weekend. It was so great to see her pretty face and hug her. We miss her so much.
• I talked to Uncle Jack today. I love our afternoon chats while I’m driving home from work. We go over each others schedules and it makes me smile big when he says, “yes, I read that on the blog!”
• Last night I spent the evening with my parents. Just the three of us (JH was working). The dinner was incredible but the company was even better. The time with my parents is different now that I’m married but somehow it seems even more special. I love the two of them so much!
• I found an old china cabinet that would be perfect for my kitchen wall on Craigslist for $125. It will need a lot of work but it is a great piece. The seller will not respond to my emails. So irritating.
• I watched Dancing with the Stars tonight even though I said I didn’t think I was going to watch this season. It’s Jennifer Grey’s fault.
• I watched Desperate Housewives last night and I’ve already canceled the series from our DVR. No more housewives for me. Last night’s episode was LAME and the storylines for the season sound terrible.
• I received notification another one of our One Kings Lane orders shipped today. Are you a member of OKL? If not, here’s an invitation for you, click here to shop! You’ll love it.
• I’m going to go now and read a little more of The Hunger Games. It’s a fantastic read.
• Oh one more thing, you should join Erin & Rachel’s book club over at Book Beginnings & Bookends. They just announced their second book – Commencement- and are going to post the first round of questions on October 3rd. I’ve already purchased my copy of the book and plan to get a head start so I’m ready to link up next Monday!

Good night. Sleep tight.
