I have a Bob Ross t-shirt!

I'm totally hyped up on albuterol and excellent conversation right now.  And maybe a little too much buttercream frosting.  Went to the doctor with a nasty case of bronchitis today, he drugged me up, and then I went to my classics book club.  We decided that for October, The Shining qualified as "classic."  I came home and ate cheese and used my inhaler, and now I'm hyper and feel like writing, but I have nothing of any substance to write.  So today will be a rather rambly favorite things post:

Today I am loving (besides colby jack cheese on toast)...

1.  The Blogger:  she is pretty brilliant and geeky and fun to read.  She wrote a book called Let's Pretend This Never Happened, which I read and then turned onto her blog, which is funny, since she's had the blog for a while.  I love her Halloween costumes this year, which has inspired me to research...

2.  All the freaking cool homemade Dalek costumes on Pinterest.  I've been rather absent from Pinterest lately, but The Girl wants to be a Dalek for Halloween, and I looked up the costume ideas.  Most of a version of strapless short dress with bumps - not happening on my (almost) 11 year-old, especially with the weather we're having lately.  But there are some great ideas out there.  Of course, I only have a week...

3.  Speaking of weather - everyone is talking about how cold it is and how they hate it, but I kind of love it.  I love soup, socks, sweaters...all the s words.  And hot drinks.  Love hot drinks.  I tend not to wear socks in summer, so...loving the chilly.

4.  My newest additions to my slowly growing geeky t-shirt collection:

That's right - Dia de los Muertos SuperMario mushroom AND Bob! I will be the coolest chick on the playground! And the best part about buying from the Bob Ross website? His head is an icon. Love!

5.  Crockpot Chile Verde - easy-peasy.  Pork loin roast, cut in half, season with salt and pepper, put in crock pot, cover in jarred verde sauce ('cuz fresh tomatillos are hard to come by in any quantity here in KY,) cook all day.  Pull apart and serve with tortillas.  Very good, and one of my family's favorites right now.  Of course, we like the spicy...

Ok, this will do for now.  Still hyper, but if I'm not careful, I'll go off on crazy tangents...and then what will I write about next time?

Kisses...
