yum.

a little note-I actually did this like a moth ago..i'm just slow at posting!! I finally cooked! I haven't really cooked here yet because I just don't really like it. I like cooking at home in my mom's kitchen! And by cook I mean bake delectable treats. I made a pumpkin pie a couple weeks ago for my friend's birthday. Apparently he's had a pumpkin pie forever and this was the first year he didn't have one. So I made him a pumpkin pie for a belated birthday present! But I only wanted one pie. Which is kinda hard to do when you buy that huge can of pumpkiness. So I made one pie and left the rest of the mixture in the fridge for a couple days while I tried to figure out a recipe that uses half a pumpkin pie mix. I didn't want pumpkin pie. So I found a recipe that looked exactly like my mom's dump cake, with pumpkin. It was amazing. So I just started dumping and it was delicious! I have no idea how much butter or stuff I used, but it was good. Believe me, this picture just doesn't do it justice at all. You should try it. Just get a cake mix, pumpkin pie and butter. YUM.

sheets.

Let me tell you about my awesome find the other day. Get excited. I decided I needed to get some more flannel sheets because mine were just old so I threw them away last year. It was a sad day. BUT I went to target and was overwhelmed with happiness. I found two sets of twin sheets for $20. I made my bed right when I got home. So you may not be as excited about this find as I was, but let me tell you, it was awesome. And I convinced my roommate to buy flannel sheets too, her life will never be the same. She loves me forever now.

fabric.

I bought this zebra fabric for my original Halloween costume, you know the one I didn't use. Any ideas for what to make with 2 yards of zebra fabric??

sorry.

so i've been trying to respond to comments. but it won't let me, i've tried every day and it's just stupid. so know that i'm responding in my heart!

caramel apples.

i love fall. Why is it that I feel like I have never experienced fall until now? Maybe I was just oblivious, I wouldn't put it past me. But I just love the fall activities! jumping into piles of leaves. cute fall jackets. wearing my cowboy boots. caramel apples. Yep, we made caramel apples.

& they were delicious.

taking the wrappers off the caramel.

Leilani, she still had the flu. she was good about not getting close!

Don't they look delicious?! they were.

It was fun having a girls only night with the roommates. I feel like there are always extra people in our apartment! And for your information, no one else has gotten sick here! yay!!

Halloween.

Guess what?!

I dressed up for Halloween this year! The last time I dressed up was probably when I was Glinda and Alli was Dorothy. A long time ago! Halloween just has never been my favorite, but this year I decided to dress up. I had this awesome idea of being a cave woman, I even bought the fabric! But the day of I decided that a piece of fabric draped over leggings and a long sleeve shirt would not be warm enough outside in Utah at night. After a lot of brainstorming about 3.5 hours before the party 2 of my roommates and I decided to be hunters, gorilla hunters to be exact. Let me tell you the story. We have gorillas in The Colony, they come out about every two weeks or so. Sometimes they like to come to my apartment and barge in and start jumping on the couches. They're faces are scary. So I had the great idea to hunt them. Now our costumes weren't really great for gorilla costumes, but they were pretty good for deer hunters. :) And don't worry, I had a camo shirt in my closet so it didn't take me long to find my costume. Meg's mom was also able to hook us up with some sweet weapons...like a real bow and arrow! I was careful with it. But I can now say I can shoot a bow and arrow. Be glad you weren't there for the training process, I was scared myself! (side note: don't aim the arrow at concrete...it sparks & everyone freaks out.) And you have my permission to laugh at the pictures. I was in a hurry and forgot to paint the other side of my binoculars. So it may look a little weird. But all in all it was a fun night!! ready to find the gorillas! we found one!! (there are 3) roommates-heather. my roommate wonder-woman. awesome costume. and yes, i did sneak into this picture. :) And in case you're wondering, I haven't seen the gorillas since that event!!
