Saturday Chilling

Today I worked hard and got out of the house first thing.  I planned on grocery shopping.  I went and got my man a Latte (which seems like a double negative, but he likes them).

Then I headed to Price Chopper-I loved it because it was very empty which is just how I like my grocery shopping to go.  Got a cartful and left.  Came home and emptied it out and headed to Glens Falls with my mom for a little small business Saturday shopping at the Troy Shirt Company!

Picked up this bag at the Glens Falls Farmer's Market
Only the first 100 people got one!
Boom! 
I thought it would be a bit better than it was.  I am on the hunt for Christmas presents for co-workers...they had GREAT stuff, don't get me wrong.  Just nothing I was looking for.  We were both starving so we left there and went to Cooper's Cave for some Bluesberry Ale and some apps!  YUM!
French Onion Soup and Eggplant Fries...yes, that's what I said, EGGPLANT FRIES! O.M.G! 

Simply can NOT go wrong with a pint of Bluesberry Ale

Then we headed next door to Bare Bones Furniture store.  They were having a major sale.  We got my love's mother a new bed and I scoped out a new King bed for us as well as some recliners and things like this:
What a beauty! 
Then I came home and started dinner.  In the crock pot of course.  I am addicted to Pintrest and am convinced that it's going to get me through these cold winter months that I detest.  So, for tonight:  I am trying this one:
I highly doubt mine will look like this, but you never know unless you try!

Here's what it looked like when I started:

4 hours to go! 
I will keep you posted with pics and with a review.

When I finished making that, I went to my next one.  If you have ever had Dunkaroos then you know you LOVE the frosting part.  Well here is make your own-also on Pintrest.  It was super easy.  One box of Funfetti Cake mix, 2 cups of plain yogurt, and half a container of Cool Whip and Voila!  SO good--little tangier because of the yogurt, but if you put it in the fridge for a few minutes it's so great!  Paired with some Scooby Snacks graham crackers...YES. PLEASE.

Oh yeah, I went there.  
Hanging out with this girl while I am cooking...

It's Boo.

What are you up to this Saturday? 

Still Thankful

I loved seeing everyone's posts about how thankful they were Thursday but what about today? I'm going to keep it going throughout the year.

Even though I posted about going to yoga and was so exited about it. It was cancelled. Drove all the way there and was ready to go and cancelled. I really had to practice patience and understanding. But it worked out in the end because I was able to spend some time with my love and go out to dinner. So it ended up better than I thought anyway. Here's to next Wednesday. As I said before my mom needs this now more than ever.

Here are some pics from my day Thursday:

Thankful for a man that will clean off my car! 
He cleans off the car, I make breakfast-actually this was for my famous mashed potatoes that I bring for Thanksgiving!

Yum!

Breakfast (some were missing)

My future baby Daddy?! Looks like a natural to me!  Baby Rose

Oops...got into the paint :-) 

Ahhhh....the air from the vent! 

My crazy (future?!) Brother in law...

My first EVER Black Friday trip to Walmart...

If you see the woman and the man sitting down, yes, they DO want to kill me and I wasn't even in line LOL
Walked in, walked out! 


What were you MOST thankful for this year?

Snowy Thoughts

The snow has started to fly.  As if you didn't know from everyone's Facebook, Twitter, and by looking out your window.  I went to Yoga at The Lemon Tree last night and it was a packed class.  The instructor was speaking directly to me once again, as if she always knows just what I need.  I signed my mom and I up for a beginner class which starts tonight.
My mom and I from the Half that I never ran. (HA!)

I can't wait.  I feel as though this is just what she needs right now.  She's stressed.  Feeling negative and her body is reflecting that.  I hope it works for her as much as it does for me!

Also, this weekend is the Troy Shirt Factory Open House!  Lemon Tree is having a sale on classes: $40 for a 5 class pass (normally $60!)  So hurry on over and get some!

What are your snowy thoughts?

What are you thankful for?
