Today I'm on the ball,

 I Started & finished an assignment that was due at 8:30 am today,

 finished one assignment (not due until Wednesday),

finished another assignment (not due until NEXT Monday),

finished part of another assignment (not due until 12/10),

Worked on two different group projects,

carried on four different conversations at the same time (thank you IM, email, text and phone),

done some pretty impressive BYU trash talking to my boss,

gone to class,

done some work (emphasis on some),

and updated my blog...

There are no guarantees for tomorrow, but today (and as the queen of procrastination) I'm pretty darn proud of myself.

Fantastic Finds and Firsts.

1. Electronic thermostat. (welcome to the 21st century, yes, I know) there is nothing more that I hate than to come home to a dirty house.... except a COLD one. This little baby has the house warmed up to a toasty 71 degrees when I walk in the door at night.
2. Ktichenaid. I recently purchased one over the weekend... simply fabulous. (perhaps this will motivate me to actually cook, something I've not done a lot of recently)
3. Porcupine Pub & Grill. I've been dying to go there for some time now. Their ribs and chicken noodle soup are divine!
4. The long sleeved G. I can hear my sister making fun of me already, but as someone who is ALWAYS cold these little baby's work wonders. I highly recommend them.
5. Seat Warmers. My aunt recently went out of town and as the official house sitter/ dog watcher we got to borrow her Subaru Outback. There is nothing better than sliding into the car and getting warm from the bottom up.


Since hibernation is not an option (sadly) I am instead choosing to find joy in the warm things.

Black Island Farms

 Racing down the big slide

 Aaron and Dal facing off on the "Corn Cannon"

 The cutest pumpkin there

Aaron dared me to go down the slide face first

We had so much fun with the Hamblin family at Black Island Farms. I am grateful that they let us tag along and share in their fun. After playing on the slides and shooting each other with corn we took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch where we each got to pick out or own pumpkin and cut if off the vine. We finished off the day with Cafe Rio and Oreos back and Sarah and Dals. It was a perfect ending to a great day.
