Tuesday Things.
1. Have you ever seen such perfection as these neon sprinkles? Neither have I.
2. I want nothing more in life than this apple crisp ice cream.
3. It was time to get a new license photo and somehow I ended up looking slightly younger in my new photo than the one from four years ago. Â Maybe they have filters to blur the wrinkles.Â
4. I want to carve a cupcake into a pumpkin today. How can I make this happen? I also want to carve a pineapple but there is noooooo way I have the patience for that. I’d probably carve off all my fingers while at it.Â
5. After owning our TV for only 8 weeks (since moving in) it totally blew out on us already. Why do these newer electronics completely suck? I had what I can only refer to as a pregnancy hormonal meltdown when I realized it happened because it’s the only TV with cable and OMG SUNDAY NIGHT TV. Major first world problems.
6. Thankfully, Eddie pulled some Macgyver stuff and hooked up an older TV to the cable (right under our now broken TV) so we could watch our shows. I swear I’m only TV obsessed after 8PM. It wasn’t how I wanted it to end, but I liked the Boardwalk finale. What are your thoughts? Last week the end of SOA made me physically ill, ugh. I have to say that I just LOVE Alvarez. Major jumping of the shark on Homeland. Carrie… I CAN’T. Loved Nashville. I’m really into Scandal. I’m still deciding on The Affair. And I have major anxiety over the Walking Dead. BEST SHOW EVER.
7. My friend Rachel landed an awesome job at Buzzfeed and I’m majorly crushing on her life right now. I also am making this candy corn trail mix today because I can no longer take it. Except I get tricked because every time I look at it, I think I see crushed oreos. And it’s really dates. Not fair. … I might add crushed oreos? Trashy?
8. Having a very real and weird obsession with all things Frozen lately. Like I want to throw a Frozen-themed party and make Frozen-themed food and decor. I never liked animated movies or cartoons growing up (I know, so weird) but now we watch Frozen like once a week – at least. What is this?
9. Last night I ate (homemade) ice cream from the container with a giant spoon at 11:47PM. I needed to tell someone who will understand. (Because Eddie never would.)

I’m completely obsessed with Nashville too. Are you watching How to Get Away with Murder?
i’m trying!! unfortunately i haven’t really paid close attention to each episode so i feel really confused. i have them all DVRed though and plan to watch!
You never need to explain ice cream – no matter what time it’s being eaten. And those sprinkles … I die!
Never explain the ice cream!!!! As women we are entitled to giant spoons of ice cream everyday :)
Please tell me that you’ve been watching How To Get Away With Murder! Obsessed. Like, maybe better than Scandal? SO. GOOD.
I agree with those suggesting How To Get Away With Murder! AMAZING. Also Carrie makes me cringe. And OMG Breaking Bad!!!! Best season ever so far.
Oops I meant Walking Dead :) Although Breaking Bad IS amazing.
You can’t totally carve a cupcake into a pumpkin, but you can carve one into the skin and the flesh still lets a glow of light through.
Oh my gosh that pineapple is so legit!!!
Have you ever watched The Good Wife? I started that one last night and I’m already hooked. I really wanted to watch a good legal drama after starting How to Get Away with Murder – honestly, I like that show but with all the extra added stuff besides the day to day cases, I get a little confused. But with The Good Wife, it’s just SO good…. you have to give it a try if you haven’t already.
The Walking Dead kills me every week! #whattheHECKisgoingonwithBeth?!?!?!
AHHH
there was a preview I caught, she was with some people we don’t know, in a house or a hospital????? I thought we would see the people turn after eating Bobs leg!
There are 4 more episodes! aghh!
Last night I watched The Fault in our Stars with the Halloween candy bowl.
I think your new Frozen obsession means you’re having a girl and she’s already channeling her passions into your brain. ;-)
Totes kidding (kind of…)!
I totally understand the ice cream..why does all food sound soo good after 10 P.M.? My late night eating is out of control haha..last night was dark chocolate pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes and white cheddar popcorn. Oops.
EEK i also have to fly past homeland, bc i’m only on season 3 bc i cant justify premium channels for like 3 shows. BUT BUT BUT WALKING DEAD OMFG. i cannot! its SO GOOD and SO GRUESOME this season! or maybe i’m just making that up, but i feel like its been very gory this year, so far. i want more maggie and glenn tho. hahah
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing the apple crisp ice cream. I tested so many batches, and ate sooooo many of the crumbles, I *wish* I’d had an ice cream partner in crime for it! Next time maybe? And just yes to fall TV. I cannot get enough. (Nashville is totally a guilty pleasure.) Cheers!
How do you make your husband watch Frozen once a week? Please tell me your secret!
Don’t mean to spam you, but I think my comment didn’t post, not sure.. I was wondering if you can share your secret on how you make Eddie watch Frozen with you once a week?? Please tell me.
hahaha! ummm actually – HE had to convince ME to watch it!! he loves animated/disney type movies. i know… crazy.
#1 – sprinkle perfection!
#6 – who isn’t obsessed with Scandal and Nashville? Not friends I want to have lol.
SOA was RIDIC last week!!!! I don’t know if I will be able to take this nonsense for the rest of the season. Also, can someone PLEASE KILL GEMMA!? If I have to hear her singing in the end of an episode again I might stick Qtips down my ears way past the point of resistance.
My boyfriend eats ice cream from the container. With a fork, knife, spoon or spatula (whatever is clean & closest). While standing in the open door of the freezer. In his underwear. In other words, don’t you worry about eating ice cream with a big spoon.
I do that all the time, I even pour syrup on it in the container,then I have to eat all the ice cream it poured ,so no one knows it was me! But that is only once in while!
ha,ha,ha!
Don’t get me started on TWD ……….my 14yo loves them and lets everyone know when the shows on.
I love the ice cream confession ; ) No judgment here! That apple crisp ice cream looks like perfection!
It’s a well known fact – ice cream after 10:00pm, especially homemade and *especially* if you’re pregnant, is not only required but it has no calories. AmIright?
Homemade ice cream NEVER has calories, because it is the absolute best!!! I grew up with it, in the hand crank days, when dinosaurs were young.. One of my big things is vanilla, with Nestlé strawberry Quik powder sprinkled on, i love the colours melting, and textures.. Mmmmmmm… Dying for apple crisp ice cream!! Oh, and a thought.. Check out ipsy makeup bags.. 10.00 a month, i love mine!!
After binge watching seasons 1-3 three weeks before Homeland started again this season, I’m scratching my head on what the heck Carrie is thinking.
I’m also not sure about The Affair. I’m watching, but not sure what is going on or if I even understand what they’re interviewing everyone for.
That cupcake EEEk!! That ice cream – omg!!
Ice cream eaten before midnight is part of dinner, aka dessert. And because you have a baby on the way, I believe it is mandatory to include sprinkles. I’m told they are high in B vitamins. Ice cream eaten after midnight is breakfast. Both require a big spoon. Unless the Q of E is coming for tea, who ever uses a small spoon?
omg, Walking Dead!!! I’m wondering if it counts as cardio since my heart pounds out of my chest for an hour while watching it? Also, this is the first year we don’t ha e showtime for Homeland and I’m going through withdrawal!
I always have pint cartons of sea salt caramel gelato in my freezer that I eat out of regularly. It’s mine only. I am deeply in LOVE with sea salt caramel almost anything.
I agree that I didn’t want Boardwalk to end that way, but I sort of had a vision that the last scene would be something like that, though the source of the action was surprising. I would add thoughts on other possible endings, but don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t watched. In any case, at least I can leave the series without feeling robbed like I did when Lost had it’s series finale….ugh!
A pineapple would be amazing! You know, I tried one of those pumpkin carving kits from the dollar store this weekend and surprisingly, those little serrated blades make the job a lot easier! Maybe you could try that!
Best,

Gahhhh I’ve never seen Frozen. If another adult is willing to watch it without a child present, I guess I need to give it a go…

SOA is really ticking me off this season! They are just killing/badly hurting everyone, and there’s no real storyline anymore. I can’t even keep up with who is on whose side (nor do I care). The only thing I care about is if they will find out what Gemma did. I guess that’s what they want because that’s the only leg the show stands on anymore. I thought it’d be better as we approach the end, but I’m honestly just ready for it to be over now. Rant over! Alvarez is my fave! He’s so calm and cool and all ese-like, lol.
Where did you find those awesome sprinkles?!
EEEEEK! I am so happy to hear you are really into Scandal now. I got the feeling before that you were just okay with it. So now I can add this show along with Nashville on my Twitter discussion list with you. Ha! I love Frozen and my boys will no longer watch it with me. I’ve watched it by myself and I am not ashamed to say it.
