1. Sometimes rainy days are fun. But only when I’m with my space heater.
2. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and beer are just around the corner!
3. Working on a Saturday means it’s really only Wednesday:(
4. Basketball season kicks off tomorrow with the Duke-Davidson game. I’m so lucky that Matt found a ticket for me.
5. Pumpkin oats just get better and better.
6. It’s only November and I’m already turning into a brunette.
7. Not only was I pleasantly surprised with all the samples I got when I popped into Whole Foods (beer, pie, dips, cheese), but the hot bar and bakery area DOUBLED over night. I didn’t even realize they were doing construction all this time.
8. Matt’s parents are coming this weekend!
9. Collard greens do not cook down as much as kale or spinach. Chop into smaller pieces unless you want to be crunching through a bowl of soup.
10. Grilled cheese never gets old.

November 18, 2011 at 8:35 amI love the first one as I also hate being cold (thus I moved to the South). While rainy days are great, they better be accompanied with a big blanket or space heater to keep me warm!
p.s. That grilled cheese looks like the bomb.

November 18, 2011 at 11:30 amLove list posts. 🙂 Do you ever dye your hair, or have you stayed so blonde naturally?
I’ve also found that Whole Foods does a good job with non-obnoxious construction. Happy Thursday (for you)!

November 18, 2011 at 11:45 amI haven’t ever dyed my hair and it ususally gets lighter in the summer. However, now that I’m older, it’s not really maintaining its color. I’m thinking of getting highlights, but I’m scared to try it (and it’s expensive!)

November 18, 2011 at 12:46 pmI’m having tomato soup and grilled cheese tonight. I agree, never gets old! I actually like them more the older I get…lol

November 18, 2011 at 4:47 pm#1, 9, and 10 go well together! There’s just something about warm soup on a rainy day. If you’re simmering the soup awhile, you can add the greens much earlier and they’ll wilt a bit more, but chopping is probably your best bet 🙂
Boo for working on Saturday, but at least your weekend sounds like fun! Do you always work on the weekends?
