Sunday, October 11

Brrrr!

The tempatures have been unusually chilly for this time of the year. I got to wear a sweater and boots Friday night. I was so excited.


The cowl neck on that sweater pulls up into a hood. You know, in case you get really cold or something. ??? I tried to take a picture of it as a hood, but Ty walked in and laughed at me so I gave up.

I interviewed for a position within my company on Friday afternoon at 4:30. Isn't that an awful time?? I think it went well, but we shall see. I'm so thankful for those people who were thinking of me and praying for me. I didn't get a nervous, shaky voice once and I didn't sweat during the interview. (Usually, when I get nervous I sweat like crazy. I did sweat before the interview, but not during. TMI, maybe. But it was completely a God thing.)

Ty asked me what I wanted to do Friday evening and I told him to take me to dinner. He chose Steak and Shake. classy.

We shared one of these.

My brother would be so proud of Nuts. He is finally interested in chasing the light from a laser pointer. My brother's and sister's dogs both go crazy chasing the light at my parents house. Nuts is never interested in playing that game. Ty bought a pen light to use on his rotations and there is a laser pointer on one end. He got it out the other night and Nuts started going crazy.

Ty has also been sneaking around the corner and shining the light on me to see if I will notice. He thinks he is so funny.

The rest of my weekend:
*I spent Saturday working on a project that is almost complete and I will be sharing pics soon.
*Chesley came over and watched the OSU game with us. They won. Go pokes!
*Our neighbors invited us over for a cook out Saturday evening.
*Ty worked on a presentation Saturday night and I went to Chesley's to watch Grey's.
*I bought a pumpkin and a mum today. Love the colors.

*I currently have a mediterranean pot roast in the crock pot and chocolate chip cookies in the oven.
*I should be in my room organizing my closet and packing up my summer clothes, but instead I am blogging and perusing the internet. I need a professional organizer to come help me! Any takers??

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Love those Steak-n-Shake shakes! Don't go often though, only for a treat! I keep thinking I should get some mums, they always look so nice in the fall! We watched the OSU game too--should have picked them to win for my office pool, picked LSU instead--big mistake. Not betting on college teams anymore!

Piper Jacquelyn said...

Sounds like quite the productive weekend! I love your pumpkin & mum. It already snowed here (???) so now plants for me, boo hoo! Your outfit is super cute & my bf would have probably teased me if he came in while I was photographing as well, ha!

Mark and Kathryn said...

Hey so the other day I was at my college roommate Leah's house to have dinner with her and Tyler, and Tyler was like, hey how do you know the Sweet Simplicity Blog? I was like what? And apparently he's your cousin or something? Small world.... Cute sweater!

Love Lace said...

Very pretty mum!!! Good luck with the job! Hopefully we will get to read all about it! :)

SLJ said...

We tried the lazer point on Tebow when he was little and you know what he did... looked right up at the pointer and gave us a look that said "I know where the light is coming from, why do you think its so funny?" I swear he is such a snot sometimes, and thinks Mr. Pro and I crazy!

SassyCassie said...

I'm glad your interview went well! And I totally sweat during interviews too-it sucks especially when you need to shake someone's hand and mine's all nasty-I get so embarrased!

Chelsea said...

I like that sweater!

I love when dogs chase random things. Sometimes mine will spazz when she sees a shadow.

Kristin said...

I love the versatility of that top! I wish it was cool enough to rock that look here. Still ridiculously hot I'm afraid.

High Heels and Huntin' Boots said...

I'm sure you rocked the interview! You should totally share that Mediterranean Pot Roast Recipe. Sounds yummy! Love your mum and pumpkin on the porch. I really like the pot the mum is in! See you this weekend?
