Slacker

I'm sorry for my absence, there is no excuse honestly... sighhhh.... here's yet another quick update on The Reynolds and fingers crossed this will be the last one as I will get back to regular postage!

1.)  It's October already? This year is flying by!
2.) My husband turned 26, love my old man :) he wanted to keep it low key this year so we had dinner at the house and watched a movie.
3.) Buddy Dog became mischievous one night while we were gone...and J left him out again one after this devastation and he ripped it up even more. We love him of course but not trust him right now to stay out of his kennel when we aren't home... poor guy.

4.) While Buddy Dog did destroy the couch, we still had couch time a few days later when J went to bed a little early. He looks very great danesque doesn't he?

5.) My sweet Grandmother is continuing to progress towards meeting Jesus which I'm sad and glad for all at once. Please pray that when she does go it's painless and hopefully in her sleep.
6.) Clemson is still undefeated! Holla... :)
7.) J bought me mums for the house and I finished my fall wreath! I need to take a picture...
8.) J installed our glass door and it looks amazing and lets so much more light into the house when we're home!

For now that is all. I'll post more pictures later!

Busy!

I'm back! I can't believe it's been over a week since I've posted. We've been busy is an understatement... so updates of note:

1. My Grandmother is getting worse by the day and I'm hoping it won't be long now til she gets to meet Jesus, I've been to see her twice this week. She's sleeping a lot. Please pray for her!
2. Work has gotten super busy and when I've come home I haven't wanted to be on the computer at all. Praise the Lord tomorrow is Friday!
3. My doctor's appointment today seemed to go well. The therapy treatment should help, fingers crossed no surgery!
4. Buddy almost ate J's birthday present that came in the mail today. It seems he's still not old enough for us to leave him out in the house while we're gone.
5. Speaking of birthday presents... I ended up telling J I bought him tickets to the ACC championship in December.. I'm so bad with surprises, it's weakness. It's usually why I wait til the last minute to buy something so I won't end up getting so excited and telling him.
6. We tailgated last weekend in Clemson and watched as they beat Florida State. We had a blast with Boone and Nic! J found a new tailgating game online called Hammerscholgen which was a huge hit with anyone who saw us playing it :)
7. We're going to Scarowinds tomorrow night with my family minus my Mom. She scares easily. Super pumped to hang out/spend time with the siblings and Dad!
8. I'm taking my MIL and Grandmother in law to see my Grandma on Saturday morning. Grandma Reynolds is going to play some hymns for Grandma :) and then we're going to Trader Jo's, I've never been so it's going to be fun. Glad to spend some time with them, with the new job it seems I don't get to do it enough with any of our family members. J is heading to Columbia for the USC game with some his friends.
9. Sunday we went to the Panther's game courtesy of a contractor J works with. I was so excited since I've never been and have always wanted to go! It poured but we stayed dry and watch the whole game.

What I'm loving Wednesday

It's that time again :)  Happy Wednesday to you!

1.) Water, yes, yes the good ole' H2O. I drink so much while I'm at work, thanks to my handy dandy Yodle water bottle they give us, I have to use the bathroom every hour on the hour it seems.

2.) The Banana Bread Cupcakes I made last night. Sadly no pictures but they are going to be excellent for breakfast for the next week. I had some banana's going bad so I bought some mix (yes took the easy way out) and nuts and made a batch. They're fantastic! J didn't try them, he's not the biggest fan of my sweet treats it seems.

3.) Jacket Sale Forever 21 is having this week.... Love the Bomber one in gray!

4.) My Almay Eyeliner for Blue Eyes... LOVE it! Really makes blue eye pop and goes on smooth.  

5.) Opening weekend of College Football starts on Friday! Which reminds me, I need an orange scarf for this season hmmmm..........

Flippity FLOP

So I tried another Pinterest recipe this weekend which was a total flop, Strawberry Angel Cookies

While they looked divine on the website...

They did not look so divine when I tried to make them.

The recipe says to not add milk or water, well none of my mixture was congealing what-so-ever so I added a little bit of milk. Apparently that was a bad idea and they turned out more like pancakes and I honestly didn't like the taste either. J said well, this is your first cooking flop since we've been together. I guess that's not too shabby huh? Have any of you have any Food Flops lately? Share them, won't you?

We had a fun laid back weekend again and for those I'm so thankful! We started our subscription to Netflix too, you can't beat $7.99 a month. I know that we spent more on RedBox so I think this is a good move for us.

J got his man cave all set up, Football season here we come. Our Friday and Saturday will be filled with football, purple, orange and nothing else this weekend and being the good wife I am, I can't wait :) I think I'm going to make BBQ for Friday night--- crock pot it up a bit and then on Saturday I'm thinking finger food goodness all day! I'll keep you posted on the status of my menu for the weekend, I'm pretty excited about cooking! Which teams are you pulling for this weekend?
