Fall Favorites

Here in Oklahoma we sometimes do not experience all four seasons for an adequate amount of time. For instance, some years Fall is only two days and Winter is 5-6 months. True Story! 

However this year, I believe Oklahoma is going to have a Fall, which makes me very happy. I love Fall,   which is why I'm posting my Fall Favorites.

1. Football

Who doesn't love a good football game?  Over the past month I've attended quite a few football games, and I've enjoyed each game! 

2. Spiced Pumpkin Muffins

To be honest, I bake these muffins throughout the year. However, they are best in the fall. There's something about cooler temps and pumpkin that I love. Wouldn't you agree?

3. Comfortable Clothes

This is the time of year when it is socially acceptable to run around town in my most comfortable clothes. Also, the cooler temperatures allow it possible to run around town in yoga pants. 

4. Cracking a window

It's nice to be able to open all the windows throughout the house. Also, it saves on the electricity bill! 

5. Fall Decorations

Personally, I love Fall decorations. I like the use of pumpkins, leaves, branches, and gourds as decorations. The picture above is my front porch. Ok, not true. This is not my front porch. #1 I don't even have a front porch. #2 I live in Oklahoma; there's no way I could have a pillow and blanket on my front porch without blowing away. In two hours it be blown to the next county. But if I did have a front porch and I didn't live in Oklahoma, it would be decorated cute! 

There you have it...my Fall Favorites

A New Problem

Blogger World, I'm going to be real with you for a second....

Recently, I've noticed my pants feel a bit tighter. The tightness is in the waist, butt, and thighs. Luckily, my pants still fit in the calves/ankles. Otherwise, this post would be me having a complete meltdown. 

At first, I assumed all my jeans had been shrunk in the drier. I mean, that has to be the logical explanation of why everything feels so tight.

Right? 

Wrong, it's because I like to eat.

Therefore, due to recent events, I have decided to make a slight change to my diet. For the next two weeks I'm going to cut my beloved Nonfat Chai from my diet. 

(I'm having a trial period to make sure I do not become a crazy woman)

(You understand)

WAIT... I take that back. 

I'm still going to have my beloved Nonfat Chai on Monday mornings, because Mondays are tough. The only thing I have to look forward to on Monday is Bible Study and Castle. I need my Nonfat Chai! But all the other days of the week...no drink!

If anyone else would like to join me in this diet change, please do. I would love a buddy. 

Thank you for your time! 

Insta-Lately

If I had an Instagram account I would post these pictures. However, I do not have an Instagram account, which is why I'm posting the pictures on my blog. Enjoy...

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of having a tea party with Snow White. It was delightful. She made the best tea. 

I have crazy friends. For example, sometimes they like to wear glow-in-the-dark headbands. 

UCO scored a touchdown off the kickoff. It was a slight miracle so I snapped a picture. 

At last night's game UCO handed out these fun things. We were very excited. 

Look at all the yummy vegetables I picked from the garden. 

Ramblings

It's been awhile since I've Rambled. Enjoy...

Tomorrow is Ask a Stupid Question Day. I wanted to give everyone plenty of time to start preparing their stupid questions.

People.com had an article posted about Kayne West, aka Kim Kardashian's baby daddy. In a recent radio interview Kim's baby daddy was quoted saying... he's the No. 1 rock star on the planet and he's here to push the boundaries of everything we think we know about art, music, fashion, and culture.
Shut up Kayne! No one likes you  You named your baby North! You didn't push the boundaries when selecting your child's name!

Recently, I joined an indoor soccer team. Last night we had our first game. Folks, I have not played soccer in over 17 years; so it is fair to assume I would be bad. Those assumptions would be completely accurate. I am not good. I repeat, not good!

Finally, new TV has begun!!! I'm very happy to have my TV friends back. I've been so lonely.

Every year my office has a chili cook off. Last year, I won Most Original Chili. True story. This year I'm going for Most Original Chili again,and I found the perfect recipe. It's a Pumpkin Chili.
Blogger World, it's bound to be delicious. I love pumpkin and I love chili. How could it be horrible?

Speaking of TV....
I have a new favorite show, Duck Dynasty. Have you seen this show? It's so funny, I highly recommend the show! I know, I'm sure everyone in the world has already discovered Duck Dynasty. But the off chance that you are behind like me you should start watching the show. Now, I've only seen Season 3, because that's all they had a Target, but I know the other seasons have to be just as funny. I'm sad that my expensive cable does not provide the channel A&E. There's no way I'm getting expensive-expensive cable just to watch Duck Dynasty. Seriously, I'm not.

Did you hear the news? Bill Clinton and McDonald's are teaming up to create a healthier menu. Surely, I'm not the only who remembers when Bill Clinton would stop into McDonald's to grab a Big Mac in the middle of a jog? Anyone else? Ok to be completely honest, I don't really remember Clinton doing that but I do remember the Saturday Night Live skits about his McDonald's habit. Anyway, I'm sure this will be a great thing. It appears McDonald's will encourage milk, water, or juice in a Happy Meal instead of soda.
You know, I could have teamed up with McDonald's and told them the exact same thing...but whatever.

Fantasy Football update...
Last week I lost my first game. I was so disappointed in my players. This week I'm hoping for a victory. I made a couple changes to my line up, mostly because three guys had byes this week, but I like to pretend it's because I knew what I was doing. I don't.
Mercy I just checked my score. Right now, I have 8 pts which is great except those 8 pts came from my quarterback. Sam Bradford, I needed more from you! I cannot win with only 8 pts.

Folks...that's all the Ramblings I have for today.

Over and Out

The Saturday I went to two football games

Saturday was one for the books. This is the first time I have ever attended two college football games in one day; hence why I said it was a day for the record books.

My morning started off in Norman, OK watching OU. My dad had an extra ticket to the game and I was the chosen sister to attend. I'm kidding. Sister #1 did not want to go and Sister #2 had to work. I was the chosen sister by default. Whatever, I got a free ticket.

My dad and I had a fun time. The game was a blowout. I received an awesome one arm tan, and walked about 5,340 steps; which is 600 less than how many times I heard Boomer Sooner played by the band.

The highlight of the game was seeing Blake Griffin. Yes, him and his brother were at the game and sat right beside us.

OR we were 54 rows apart. You know, in a big old stadium everyone is one big row! One big happy sweaty family.

Moving on...

After leaving Boomer Sooner Land it was back home to watch the first home game for UCO!!! Sister #1 and I are season ticket holders...kind of a big deal.

Ok, so we are not a big deal for being season ticket holders. Our season tickets cost $35 and parking is free. UCO is a much smaller college compared to OU; much smaller.

No famous people were in attendance at the UCO football. Oh wait, I take that back. A group that sat behind us were part of the 1998 football team, which was the greatest football season UCO's history. Well, according to the man who sat behind us. He said they had an undefeated season, but were cheated out of the championship trophy. The man thought he was hot stuff. Sadly, he was not.

As you can imagine when Sunday rolled around I was tired and ready to rest.

WAIT... I have one more piece of football news...I won my second fantasy football game. My record is 2-0. WOO HOO!!!

Happy Friday from Pepper

This picture almost makes me want a dog. Almost.

Fantasy Football

Tonight a very important event took place.

It was draft night. One hour of my evening was dedicated to drafting the great FF players in the world!!! Ok, not in the world, but a pretty great team. Blogger World, please meet my team...
