This heat is making me crazy

I miss the fall!!!

I'm a fall-winter-spring kinda girl! If I could have just 2 weeks of summer, that would be good enough for me! I cannot wait for the heat to fade out. I miss Not burning in my black car. When it's really hot, I can hear the great Hambino from the Sandlot say "we're bakin' like toasted cheesers" as I sizzle on my black leather seats and wait for the little AC vents to fill the mustang.

I miss cold breezes, and fall foliage, and my cartigans, coats, and scarves that are hiding in my closets. All my boots peek out at me every time I open the hall closet, pleading to be worn, but I'll sadly grab some sandals and tell them, just a lil longer guys. I love the build up to the holidays. And baking. Even Starbucks tastes better in the fall! Ughh September where are you?!? I love when its cold and I dig into my trunk-coffee table for blankets and curl up on my cozy couch with a really good book and hot tea.

School starts this Monday. I'm mildly nervous, but I think that's just a little anxiety before I start something new :) Though I love my art classes, and can't wait to finish my bachelors, I found an associates program at another school I could not pass up. I have 1,000,001 interests, and I want to do everything!

What just came out of the oven

I found this Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe online a while back, and people always love it! To the point where the bowl is scraped clean! So I had to pass it along :)

Click -- here -- for the recipe, it's just like the Applebee's kind. Super easy to make & toss into a little crockpot.
I'm wondering... with tons of artichoke hearts & spinach, do you think it could suffice as my veggie intake?? ;)

Rainy days

I love the rain! It's soothing. The air smells good. And I have time to post this! I'm onto girl onesies now that the next baby shower I'm going to is for Little Miss Madison, due in August.

Used some black and white fabric for flowers and ruffles on her little baby bum. Also making one with a colorful M on it, and playing with the idea of a green camo, & hot pink. I'm not keen on that idea, but it would please her daddy :) Hopefully her Mama Whitney likes these too

New Favorite Series

I recently discovered a show I never knew existed.

And I'm hooked!!

LEVERAGE

Charming cast, entertaining, very Ocean's Eleven meets Robin Hood. Smart theives, steal from corrupt rich business men. It just started it's 3rd Season, with the first 2 seasons available on Instant View on Netflix. I'm very excited to catch up.

I'm picky with shows, I get bored with story lines. And I don't like all the Reality TV garb.... but I was flipping thru channels & within 10min of the new premiere episode, I was glued to the tube. Yay for good Sunday night television!

Sunday nights, TNT
check it out

>>>Also, (i'm all about the plugs tonight, they should pay me)

Hot in Cleveland seems to be off to a good start. It's okay. I really like all the ladies on it, so I had high hopes for it. It's produced by Sean Hayes (Jack from Will&Grace). And it says TVLand Wed 10/9c but I've seen the Pilot episode on at least 3 different channels. So who knows.
