Tuesday Things.
1. Today is Eddie’s birthday!! It is the first time since I started blogging that his birthday doesn’t fall on a recipe posting day, so I made these trashed up donuts for him last Friday. Max woke up already yelling “cake!” Homemade funfetti it is.
2. I’m thinking we should move to an apple pie spice latte. Let’s make it a thing.
3. Over the weekend I bought a pair of the shoes that lace up and tie around the ankles (heels, not flats, duh) and I seriously wanted to die while trying to unlace them to get my foot in and lace them back up in the store. It took FOREVER. Yet I still bought them. Marketer’s dream.
4. I also already bought basically every Thanksgiving decor item that Target has in stock. Hate myself.
5. Absolutely freaking over this pear s’mores crumble. What! My mind is blown.
6. Okay, TV! So I want to start Narcos (Eddie and I actually watched a few episodes last year but got distracted) and it’s on the docket. I really liked this past week’s episode of Masters of Sex (why do I have such an insane crush on Michael Sheen?!) and loved some of the funny moments of the Emmys. Like Matt Damon coming out. Ha.
7. Can’t even look at a sunflower without thinking of Sunflowers perfume, which reminds me of my 6th grade crush and how horribly strong I must have smelled of this cologne. It seems like there has been a sunflower resurgence (on attire, not in scent!) but I still have sunflower vests, hat, pants and silk shirts in a closet at my parents house. WHAT.
8. Is the Farmer’s Almanac ever correct in predicting crazy weather? Apparently it says that this winter will be horrrrrrrible. But I feel like it always says that.
9. How to cure workplace jealousy. Whoa – I love this and think it can apply to any type of job!

Mark and I started watching Narcos last week and we’re almost done! It’s very…shocking, but I love how crazy and suspenseful it is! And Happy Birthday, Eddie!
YES to Narcos! You must must MUST watch it. So good. And happy birthday to Eddie!
Apple pie spice latte sounds AMAZING!!!!!
I am still on season 3 of Grey’s Anatomy – I never watched it when it was on. Watched a good documentary on Netflix: Â From Fat to Finish Line. Â
Happy birthday to Eddie!
And the farmers almanac says that while Chicago will have a warmer than usual winter, we will also have an above normal amount of snow. Â Winters in Chicago suck after the first pretty snowfall anyway! :P
1. Happy Birthday Eddie!! (Its my mom’s birthday too!!)
2. Apple Pie Spice Latte sounds heavenly!!! Comfort in a cup. Make it a thing!
3. I feel like everyone is always negative Nancy about the weather…I force myself to think positive about it..it wont be that bad!
I have no idea how they come up with the Farmer’s Almanac… I got married last October and the Farmer’s Almanac said our wedding day would be 70s and sunny, when actually we got hit by Hurricane Joaquin with torrential rain and 30 mph winds – ha!
And an apple pie spice latte sounds amazing
Ohhhh maaan, I remember that Sunflowers perfume! I think I still have a bottle in a box somewhere in the attic, haha.
I read “cure workplace jealousy” as “cure workplace jewelry” and thought “oh shopping- yay!!”….whomp whomp. but good article nonetheless.
I highly recommend Stranger Things on Netflix. It is full of 80’s awesomeness plus Winona Ryder. Slighly creepy but you get hooked on the show really quickly. There is only one season right now with the next slated for 2017.
I think we should make lumpkin spice a thing too! Somewhere should be named after it. I hope Eddie had a great birthday! I love funfetti cake, its my favorite, i also love sunflowers too. You cant be mad looking at a sunflower!

7. Sunflower sent!!!! HAHAHAAH that definitely took me back to middle school. Loved that stuff lol.
We really liked the first season of Narcos. I’m having a hard time getting into the second season. Recommend Bloodline, so good! Happy birthday Eddie!
just as James responded I am impressed that any body can get paid $9371 in 1 month on the internet . see ⥬ ➧ ????7.???
TV. Acorn TV, which you can add to your Amazon Prime streaming subscription. It has all the British and Australian shows. We are watching A Place to Call Home. It is fabulous.. Plus there are three seasons to watch!
That pear s’mores crumble looks amazing!! Also, Happy Birthday Eddie!!!

Back when I was a newbie at Starbucks I tried a caramel apple spice drink – it’s essentially hot apple juice with cinnamon, caramel and whipped cream. Delicious, but not caffeinated enough for my life. There has to be a way to sneak a shot of espresso in there without making it taste like garbage!
Funny you should mention the apple pie latte,  I actually made myself one yesterday!  I had a shaker of  apple pie spice mix that I had made up sitting on the counter when I went to make myself a latte, so the idea was born!  I mixed some of the spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice and cardamom) in with some warmed-in-the-microwave half and half and a little pure maple syrup (my go-to coffee sweetener) by frothing it with my little hand held frother.  Then I added the coffee slowly over the frothy cream mixture and drizzled with a little bit of caramel sauce.  It is heavenly.  I was thinking about telling Starbucks they should add it to their menu!
