Day 608

Is it bad that I don't want to take my Uggs off to go to bed?  It's really gross to even think about outside shoes in my bed, but man they keep my feet cozy and warm!  I suppose that's why I have a pair of cozy socks. :)

Day 607

Supper Club tonight at Scotty's Downtown!

Day 606

My house is decorated for Christmas - hooray!  Too bad I won't have time to have a party so people can actually see it.

Day 605

Thanksgiving in Ohio!

Day 604

Last night, Dan and I had the opportunity to sit in the super awesome VIP section at the Vogue for Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band concert.  I really liked it, but Dan, he loved it!  I had fun sitting with a few friends from church (my connection to the band) and trying to figure out what the heck Josh (Rev. Peyton) was saying/singing.  :oP

Then, this afternoon, Dan and I headed over to Good Morning Mama's Cafe in Broad Ripple.  Wow oh wow the Mexican breakfast tacos are tasty!  It was the perfect amount of food for me.  Plus, the whole restaurant is brightly decorated with a heavy 1950s vibe.  I'm sure that made me like it even more.  :)

Day 603

I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere this weekend!

Day 602

Happy Thanksgiving to my fabulous family, fantastic friends, and awesome acquaintances!  Hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and yummy food. :)

Day 601

I'm making a (hopefully super awesome) Blackberry Cheesecake for tomorrow's Thanksgiving festivities!  Yay!  I'm was SO happy to leave work today.  I get to stay up as late as I want with no major responsibilities tomorrow!  Woo hoo! :)

I heard this version of Maroon 5's "Misery" while at The Cheesecake Factory last week.  I found it online for you to enjoy. :)

Day 600!

Woo hoo, another milestone!  Six hundred days of blogging!

In preparation for Thanksgiving, I decided it was time to share more baking goodness with you...my 3 readers.

Here's what I've got for you: lasagna!  I made one tonight for tomorrow night's dinner (but didn't bake it yet).  I can't include a link to the recipe, because I don't like any of them enough.  I am one that appreciates a good meat to pasta to cheese ratio.  I think I've pretty much perfected it (for my taste buds at least).  If you'd like to have the details, just leave me a comment and I'll get them to you.

Basically, it includes the following yummy ingredients: italian sausage, lasagna noodles, fresh garlic, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, freshly ground salt, freshly ground pepper, freshly ground italian herbs/spices, eggs, cottage cheese, a jar of pasta sauce, and love.  Haha, of course I had to say something cheesy!

Photos are from when I made the Pioneer Woman's "Best Lasagna Ever."  I liked it, and it's what I basically use for my own version.  The only big changes are using a jar of sauce instead of making my own (I ended up with too much sauce + time to make it and simmer) and using only sausage (sausage + beef = too much meat).  Needless to say, I'm excited to eat this bad boy tomorrow night!

Day 599

Thanksgiving...a time to give thanks.  It's been a roller coaster kind of year, but I've ended up in a positive place. :)  Some people moved out of my life, and some new ones have been introduced.  I always struggle with this part, since I want to be friends with everyone forever.  Who doesn't want to be surrounded by awesome people?  Well, life just doesn't work that way.

I left a job, started another, left that job, started another, and am sticking to this one.  I'm happy to wake up in the morning and not dread work.  Happy to have a wonderful family and friends that rock my socks off. Also, pretty happy about this lovely little slice of Chocolate Raspberry Truffle cheesecake sitting in front of me.  Nom!  There are a ton of other things I could add to the list, but really, the people in your life are what matter most!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Joey!
