Friday Favorites

Hey Friday, heeeeeyyyy! Happy Halloween! I am off to Disney on Ice this morning!

Duh! Christmas music is my favorite! I will be listening to Christmas music nonstop starting tomorrow morning! I have an awesome playlist on Spotify with over 100 songs from all different genres, if you want to follow it 🙂

Favorite Song: This song seems fitting for Halloween! Florence and the Machine – Seven Devils

Favorite Conversation: Last night my sister and I met half way between our houses so I could get my ticket from her. We were talking for a few minutes and she had Cooper(4 year old nephew) with her. Cooper started telling on her for honking at some guy in the car in front of her for driving too slow or something. Cracks me up! I asked him if his mommy had road rage and he laughed and shook his head yes. Tracy was like whatever!!! You should hear him in the back seat. The conversation went like this:

Cooper: “My mommy was hear first, move out of her way!”

Tracy: “Cooper, we are at a red light, we all have to stop.”

Cooper: “He still needs to get out of our way…”

Kids say the funniest stuff!

Favorite Meet-up: Laura, Ralph and I met up at Octane on Wednesday evening for our monthly meeting. Octane has the BEST vanilla lattes! Look how pretty! Chris was able to head downtown after work, so we left to go to World of Beer (go figure, right?) afterwards. I didn’t even order a drink at WOB when we got there. Who am I?

Favorite Recipe: I have been trying out new recipes in the kitchen again lately. You have to switch it up now and then, ya know? I really love Brunswick Stew but I have never made it for myself. I perused Pinterest and came across this one…

Favorite Livvy Picture: This is Livvy judging me while I work out in the mornings. She sits herself in her little perch and watches me sweat it out. Sometimes she sits there all sassy giving herself a bath, and other times she will reach out at my weights as I am lifting just to taunt me.

Favorite Funnies:

How I felt this week:

Cheers

These shirts cracks me up!

I think we have all been here…

Oh Grumpy Cat, you’re my favorite!

If Mac had a phone, this would totally be something he would say….

And this would be Gracie…

And just because I am feeling extra sassy…

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!!!!

All Things Halloween

I wanted to link up with Melissa a few days this month for her blogging challenge, because she is awesome. Duh. Today’s prompt is “must watch Halloween cartoons.” In my opinion, there is only one must watch for me, and that is The Great Pumpkin.

Can you really call that a post? No! So let me go a few steps further with some more Halloween favorites!

My favorite must watch Halloween themed movie is Hocus Pocus.

My favorite childhood Halloween memory – When I was in elementary school, my parents would take my sister and I out trick or treating. We would start in our neighborhood, then head over to my Grandma Jerry’s neighborhood and finish by stopping at Grandma Josie’s house so that she could see our costumes too. Tracy and I always scored a ton of candy by going to so many houses. Since we lived right outside Pittsburgh, sometimes it would actually be snowing when we were out! Crazy, right? We would just wear sweat pants under our costumes so we weren’t cold.

There used to be this house in the very first neighborhood we lived in that terrified the crap out of me. It was next door to my great aunt’s house and the guy would dress up like an ape and jump out of his house as you were approaching his porch. I remember begging my parents to skip it every single year. Every year they told me not to be rude and that I had to go.

Tell me you wouldn’t be creeped out by a huge ape when you are five!

My favorite adult Halloween memory is probably the year that I dressed up like a witch and Chris dressed up like ….well a mix between a Star Trek character and Kanye.

Chris dj’d at our friend’s annual Halloween party, as he does every year. We just had a lot of fun and the party had a great turn out! These are just some of the people that were there to help set up when the party first started:

This party was just a few weeks before we got married. Maybe that is why is sticks out the most to me?!

My favorite Halloween candy is the mallow cream pumpkins.

What are some of your Halloween favorites?
