Blogging, banners and pics... oh my!

If you havent noticed my rediculous "cant find a damn banner that I like for this blog" changes, then consider yourself lucky!  I think Ive changed this bad boy oh..... lets see.... about 20 times in a one month span. Once I started this blog, I knew that I would be sort of coo coo in trying to find what I like or maybe its the fact that I dont really know what the hell Im doing, but none the less, I think Ive come up with the banner that will stay for awhile. (I promise... wink wink*)

With that being said, last Sunday Mike and I met up with Kelly, my new bud (who takes the most beautiful pics) to take our 'fall picture.'  She met us at Starbucks downtown on the square and we had a nice little stroll around the capital looking for the perfect spot. We found it and this is what her fabulous-ness brought to us (hence the new banner...yay!)  You can find her here for more of her wonderful skills

 Thank you Kelly for the great pics, we love them!

Another 2lbs! Yay!

I lost another two pounds. Ive decided that cereal is my enemy and that is why Im fat. :)
 I friggen love the stuff, but who can eat just a 1/4 cup, which is the serving size. NOT ME!  Its more like 2 cups... not really but you get the drift. Anyways, Im on a mission to drop 10lbs by Thanksgiving. Here's hoping!

November already?? But Im not done with October!

It feels like we were JUST celebrating our 1 year anniversary and now its Nov. 1st... Gosh, how time flys.  In honor of October I snapped this cool pic.  Its the Capital lit up (pink) in honor of breast cancer month. How cool is that?? I love our city!

Also, this year has been fun taking pictures of 'fall', particularly because of this blog. I now roam around with my point-n-shoot camera and snap any and everything that I think looks cool, pretty, crazy, etc.. This week I shot these. Totally random, but thats me! :)

This pumpkin farm is near my mom's new condo, and we picked up some of these beaut's for only $1 each!  YAYY!

We live in Sun Prairie, and every holiday this house is decked out to the core. They have about 50 pumpkins!  Imagine this place at Christmas! (Reminds me of the movie, Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase)  Doesnt it look haunted??  Eeerie!

New to my Ipod

Can you guess which color my ipod is??? You got it.... PURPLE!     Anywhoo.... I always like to hear what others have on their Ipod, so I decided to share my new/old songs.

Mike and I met an adorable couple at a wedding, doing a photobooth ( Thanks to Kelly and Jon) and they  finally just got engaged!  YAYY!

2 weeks... 2lbs!!

So, as I posted before, Im on a mission to lose weight. Since that said post, I lost 2lbs. Im happy about that, however these "body combat' classes are kicking my arse!  Its 60mins of kickboxing, tai-kwon-do and some other butt kicking, sweating, rediculous moves that I hate!  Ha ha.... Seriously, I started this class last week and they have it 4 times a week, and it took me a WHOLE WEEK to feel like my legs werent going to fall off!

I wish I could lose weight as easily as I put it on. :(   Now I live by the old motto.. 'moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips!  (unless you take this rediculous class 4 times a week) Which brings me to my new favorite saying...

Happy Halloweenie :)

So Ive got this fall baking cook book from the grocery store about two years ago and every year I try 1-2 new recipe's from this bad boy.  Today I got a hankering for this said baking and I tried these... they didnt turn out too bad, however the picture is so cute isnt it??? Needless to say, these arent on my 'biggest loser' diet. BOO.

Food and Vino... my fav's!

Mike and I were doing a photo booth at the Golden Mast the first part of October and if you have never been there, its an amazing venue. Anyways, they always have wine tastings every month, so I thought it would be fun to have another 'date night' and check it out.  Well... as I was waiting for the date night to approach I was driving on the beltline and seen the billboard for Madison Food and Wine show!!! YES!!!!  Its a whole weekend worth of the obvious (food and wine) but they have dueling chef competitions AND beer tasting this year!!!!

 Needless to say, we cancelled the wine night at the Golden Mast which was only 3 hours long vs this sweet deal! Im pumped!  Anyone else going to this???
