get it done.

last week i cleaned out my baking cabinet.
yes i have my own small baking cabinet where i stock my supplies.
i found mini pumpkin cupcake papers.

& i decided they needed to be used by october 31.
summer posted this recipe, which turned out delish.
however, mine were not quite so pretty.
i haven't mastered the icing drizzle yet.
however, i'm sure my co-workers will appreciate the yummies in the AM.

in between baking/phillies/hokies.
i organized my vintage cookbook collection.
vintage cookbook collection?
yep, you heard right.
they will be gracing etsy, hopefully by the end of the weekend.
i'm amazed at the amount of cookbooks printed by ingredient producers.
why don't they continue that?
how much would you love to receive an entire cookbook on things to do with x?
i would.
here's a sneak peek:

sick yet?

no day is easy.

when i decided to create this blog on my 24th birthday.
i wanted to make changes.
to appreciate.
to love.
to dream.
to be happy.
i'm a work in process.
thankfully i found this sign here, for a daily reminder.

 be thankful, for each. individual. day.
i've been finding each day too short.
mondays come too soon.
especially in the fall.
any time managing tricks?
household chore short-cuts?
i'd love some advice on how to make the best of my days!
but don't worry i'm slowly advancing on some long term goals :)
hopefully good news to follow!

if you like thoreau or whitman, you love burroughs.

auction.

mom & i were up early on saturday. we grabbed coffee/diet coke & headed down the shore.
an old barn full of antiques was auctioned off & we filled the car with goodies!
including a lot of chairs:

& two lots of mason jars that will be on etsy soon!

This young woman has been on my mind all week.

If you have seen this girl or have any information about her whereabouts please call (434) 352-3467

She was last seen October 17, at a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, VA.

If you could pass this long, that would be so helpful!

a successful dinner.

j is the cook in our home.
it's unusual for me to cook dinner & be consumed by j.
tonight was different.

thanks to everyday food.

adapted recipe for two!

...

you support a sports team you have no ties to, because you think it's cool.. defriend.

you hate the phillies.. defriend.

you like the yankees, just because they're the yankees.. defriend.

obviously, i'm losing friends quickly of facebook.
