Pie

Seriously inspired to bake a pie....of course this would come about the EXACT same time as the busy-busy point of the semester but that's the story of my life :) It's just about time management, yah? Part of me wants to cop-out, throw together a cobbler, and consider it done BUT Martha Stewart helped bring me back to my 'over achieving' ways. Consider it done... decorative crust and all.

Not exactly sure the filling but I know walnuts [new found allergy?!] and blueberries are out. I'm pretty set on a fruit filling...even though mississippi mud or peanut butter pie sound super delish. Oh and I'm saving the traditional fav's like pumpkin for November. Decisions, decisions??

To-do:

1. decide on filling 
2. find time to prep pie
3. find someone [other than myself] to consume pie   

birthday bash

I think I'm gonna plan at least one of my own parties. Umm hmm, at least one of the many we'll be having in October. We are celebrating all month between me and the roomie.

And I'm feeling pretty "fall'ish" and actually considering replacing the birthday cake with a birthday pie [yes, I just started a sentence with "and" ...don't judge]. I may even throw around a few pumpkins and crunchy leaves for decor. The following is my inspiration :)

We are leaving signs/balloons/streamers/pie out all month. Friends welcome.

Dude.

It's time for some randomness that makes my heart happy...

Caffeine

Ok. I have issues. This summer I got into the habit of drinking this precious black substance known as coffee not 1x but 2x's a day. Wow. Problem? I think yes. I did, however, learn some great-quick ways to prepare it. I mean....if you are going to drink it that often you best know how to do it right.

My all time fav characters explain it best. It's so worth the 2 minutes and 14 seconds of your life:

Tips to having the ultimate coffee experience:

1. Drink Folgers they claim to "match your morning mood"....I'm all about that.  
2. Drink from Bodum glasses. AKA "double wall glass" amazingness. It keeps that sustenance the perfect temp.  
3. Coffee House heated for 23 seconds before adding the powerful stuff.

To-do list:
Drink less coffee.
