These aren’t just any old chocolate chip, M&M cookies. Noooo. These are very, very special “Carson didn’t pee his pants all day” cookies.
I assure you that they taste better than any cookie I’ve ever had.

Fall in Tennessee
Yesterday when going to meet the Blind man at my house (he can actually see…he just sells blinds), I nearly wrecked my car when I drove by this scene.
Thank goodness I’ve taken everyone’s advice and I tote my camera EVERYWHERE I go.
I knew I had to turn the car around and shoot some photos, it was so beautiful! The orange leaves, the way the trees lined the road along the cemetery, the sun and how it filtered through the leaves…
I couldn’t wait to get home and play around on Photoshop with the photos, I had just Stumbled on some free textures on Flickr and wanted to see if I could figure out how to use them.
Of course I never have been able to figure out how to do the vignette in Photoshop, so I just added that part using THE GREATEST PHOTO SOFTWARE ON THE INTERNET, Picnik. (PS…I’m giving away a PREMIUM Picnik subscription next week!)
There is a certain peace in having moved to Tennessee during the fall and makes leaving my beloved Indiana less painful.
Don’t forget, you can still enter the Vintage Body Spa giveaway until tomorrow morning!
A trip to Wrigley
Tate and I are huge Cardinals fans. For those of you who don’t know, one of the Cardinals’ biggest rivals is the Chicago Cubs.
Although it would be a cold day in hell before I’d ever root for the Cubs, I do have the utmost respect for their stadium…Wrigley Field. Two weeks ago, we got to go to a game between the Cards and Cubs at Wrigley. It sounds totally cheesy, but it was a dream come true to get to go to Wrigley Field. SO THRILLING!!!!
Without Cathy, this trip never would have happened…so THANK YOU, Cathy!
Cathy did all the very nerve wracking legwork to get the tickets, complete with desperate emails between us. Where should we sit??? OMG, they are SO EXPENSIVE!!! Right field side or left field side????? For some reason it never occurred to either of us to just exchange phone numbers. Don’t let the $22 price on the ticket fool you, we paid DEARLY for the tickets on StubHub. (It was worth EVERY penny, though.)
Not only did I get to meet Cathy, I also got to meet Mandie. She met us for lunch on the Magnificent Mile.
Before the game, we sat and had a beer (or five) with Harry Caray himself.
Sadly my beloved Cardinals lost to the stinky ol’ Cubs. But on a positive note, we drank LOTS more beer, Old Style OF COURSE. (Also sadly, I regretted the last 5 beers that I drank the next morning.)
The second best part of the trip was that I got to fall in love with this goofy guy all over again. It was wonderful to have him all to myself.
This was my first time participating in Photo Story Friday!
