October?

Really? October? And its almost over? Um....where have I been?
Ok you were probably already wondering that, but suddenly so am I! So October is a very busy month for me. Between birthdays and my favorite holiday of all time HALLOWEEN!!!! (oops sorry got a little excited there hehe) anyway where was I? Oh yeah - busy busy! So I just get the birthday parties over with and suddenly I have another party to plan. Yes I know only last month I was saying how much I love parties, and I truly do, but I always let them stress me out at the last minute. Its just in my nature to second guess everything, change my mind, come up with new ideas, and just flat be a perfectionist about it all. I really should give myself a break! But since I know me so well, I can tell you that won't happen!
So...

Kids Toys!

I'm not a kid but I have kids toys. Why? Cause I'm nuts :) no its because I find toys I want that fit into my own interests. For instance I love Halloween so if the store throws a Halloween toy on the shelf in front of me, I'm gonna want it.

No Recipe Recipes

Here are a couple of recipes that came from t.v. that I have to make with my fingers crossed because there is no recipe. But they are really good and I did make them, so of course, I'm sharing!

Compact Turkey Dinner

So I was thinking about this recipe I saw on
Food Networks Diners Drive-ins and Dives.
It was at Comet Cafe in Milwaukee. They make this turkey dinner and fry it, but not like you would think. When I saw it I had to try it, and ended up making a turkey the next weekend just so I could try

Good Eats

I'm a huge fan of Alton Brown and his show Good Eats on Food Network. You may have also seen him on Iron Chef America, Feasting on Asphalt and Feasting on Waves.

And the reason I am telling you that, is because I want to share the recipes I have tried. So far I

Sheepy!

I had to share my latest amigurumi. I just made this up looking at pictures. I wanted to make a sheep for someone special (You know who you are and no you can't, its not Christmas yet!) and so here it is:

Here's a great gift idea. I made these last Christmas for a friend with a fireplace.

Reuse!!!

I'm hoping for comments on this post!
So today's thought: reusing. I mean this in the sense of repurposing an item more than to just use it again for the same use.  In some ways reusing can be better than recycling because you do it yourself, without a bunch of hassle involved. I'm always looking online for more uses for things. If you have any that you do, feel free to comment, I need ideas!

Here are some of the ones I do already:

Followers!

Ack Internet!

Ok, so I'm working on my myspace page right? I spent ages putting in all my interests, favorite music, movies all that stuff, and what happens? It all disappeared right after I saved... grrr. Ok, not doing that again right now, maybe later when I have a ton of time to waste!

So yesterday, or was it the day before? Anyway I got on this solar kick, decided to do some research on the net and what did I discover?
