Love: Buddha in costume

#24:
I always liked the idea of animals in costume or really any kind of attire, but never thought I'd be the kind of person to buy a wardrobe for Buddha, our Pug, let alone Halloween costumes. I'm so uncreative when it comes to human costumes, how could I possibly gain the mental capacity to purchase one for my dog?
Luckily, Target made it super easy by selling some ridiculously cute costumes for animals. It also helps when your dog is one of the cutest creatures alive.
Target sells a range of costumes from bumblebee, to ram, to banana split. My favorites were the squirrel which happens to be holding an acorn, the classic pumpkin, and the one we ended up purchasing for our baby, Buddha, the turtle.
The turtle headpiece, which to me is the highlight of the outfit, is one of the cutest things I've seen, especially when resting on the shrunken head of Buddha.
And if you don't believe me, here are pictures to prove it.
I would totally open my door for this creature of the night, wouldn't you?
Happy Halloween!!

Love: Cooking in the fall

#23:
I love cooking in general any time of the year. But I especially love cooking in the fall and wihnter. My husband likes the cold weather and in the summer he likes to keep the house as cool as possible. I think as a reminder that the seasons will change and he will feel the 60 degree air again one day.
Either way, turning the oven on the summer is a no-no in our house and therefore we miss a lot of yummy meals in the summer months that we are so appreciative of in the fall and winter.
My favorites to cook (and eat):
Baked pasta- any
Pizza- which this season's goal is to start making it from scratch. My best friend Jen says it's really easy
Roasted chicken
Roasted vegetables
Roasted anything :-)
Potatoes au gratin
Homemade mac and cheese
Meatloaf- Chinese style
Baked goods- including cookies, cupcakes, Apple kuchen

I'm hungry now just thinking about all the lovely food I'm going to cook this weekend!

Hate: No official Blogspot App for Droid

#21:
I LOVE my Droid. LOVE it. I love the apps available in the Market. What I don't love is that there's no official app for Blogspot. Only a couple from third parties. Yet Tumblr and Wordpress seemed to find the time to create official apps for their bloggers.
What's up Google? Can't make the time for your bloggers can you? Too busy eating free food in your awesome cafeteria on your fancy schmancy campus?! Or playing with all of your dogs in doggy daycare??
You can build me an app that will explain the constellations to me if I point my Droid at the sky but you can't build me a simple and official app so I can blog whenever the F I want?!
Poor form, Google, poor form.
