Yum, Yes!
OHMYGOSH! Do you know what sounds amazingly incredibly delicious? It sounds so tasty my mouth is watering just thinking about taking a big bite. Mmmmmm.... Yummy! Since it's currently 11:05pm and there is no way in heck I'm going to be getting one anytime soon, I'm making a virtual sandwich. Drool with me.
Start with a nice puffy homemade pita bread.
And then stuff all the goodies inside!
A huge handful of alfalfa sprouts ...and then a little more.
A couple slices of fresh super acidy homegrown tomatoes.
Just a tiny smudge of avocado. Kinda like the one found in the picture here.
A thin slice of turkey from an actual bird. Not that once-was-a-bird-but-now-it's-smashed-up jumbled-"meat"-you-get-from-a-deli-bag. I'm talking carved right off of that juicy gobbler kind of meat. Mmm.
Throw in one or two thin and tiny pieces of red onion.
Yep, two of those in the picture would be perfect. Don't forget to add a nice thick slice of mozzarella cheese.
Yum, Yes! A half of my awesome sandwich paired with this yummy soup
or this mouth-watering soup,
or this delicious soup.
I'll be in heaven.
You'd better believe I'm buying the ingredients for my magnificent meal this weekend. I think I'll be having it Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A different soup each day. Oooh I can't wait! I'm shaking with excitement! Anyone care to join me? I'm sure I'll have tons of leftovers. Make sure you bring the iced tea!

Dobby
We got a new puppy!! This one is the perfect size for our yard and cozy home. His name is Dobby. You can see the similarities better when he's wet. Dobby is intelligent, learns super quickly and loves the whole family. He doesn't knock Jasper over at every turn either. We love him!
Dobby was born on June 5, 2010. He's a pomeranian chihuahua mix or pom-chi.
Dobby has the coolest fur! It's a weird brindle color. You can actually see patches that are short and orange and very chihuahua looking. He's so stinkin' cute. Jasper can't get enough of him. He even lets Dobby sit in his favorite chair.
Everyone, meet Dobby!!
The camera was a little too bright for the poor guy.

Two Lines!
Warning: This post may be TMI for some people. It's really not that bad though.
Justin and I actually tried to get pregnant this month. Meaning I actually paid attention to the days we should do it. I didn't really expect to get pregnant but we were hoping.
I had begun to notice a few things that may be early signs of pregnancy. But honestly it's difficult to tell because often those symptoms are the same as PMS. I kept thinking, "hmm maybe ...nah". It sucks to get your hopes up for nothing. So I tried not to.
The other night Justin came into bed late and I guess I was sprawled out, immitating a furnace and making "the noises". "The noises" are the noises I make when I'm sleeping and pregnant. It drives Justin nuts but it soothes me. Haha! They're kind of like snoring but instead of a snore I make this sigh sound. Don't know why I started that. I did it so much while pregnant with Jasper that he does it too. He's done it since birth. The nurses would all comment on the adorable little noises he makes while he sleeps. It still makes me smile every time I hear it.
A day before I was supposed to meet the Crimson Goddess I decided I wanted to take a test. This way we could either start being crazy happy or I could expect the dreaded crap that is a curse to women.
Off to the good ol' Dollar Tree we went to pick up a pregnancy test. Did you know that those tests are more accurate than many of the more expensive tests? Keep that in mind if you're like me and like to take many tests to watch the pink strip get darker as your HCG levels get higher. Love it!
So then we went home and I did the test. Of course, as soon as I put the drops of pee pee on the test I had to stare at it. Mind you, I'm still on the toilet with my pants around my ankles, the test packaging is torn all over on the floor and I'm just holding the test in front of my face making sure it is VERY level and staring. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal but the test instructions say 5 drops of pee and make sure the test stays level. I'm always paranoid that somehow it will ruin everything if I do 4 or 6 drops. Or if the test tilts slightly I make a panicked face and right it immediately. Lol!
Okay, back on topic. So I'm sitting there looking at the test and all the color is moving up the strip and into the control line. I'm instantly bummed. There's no sign that the other line is going to show up. I put the test down, finish up and wash my hands. Then I pick the test back up not expecting much. I'm still seeing the color move through the strip and into the control line. But as the color is traveling it seems to be leaving behind another line! What?!?!
I keep watching the test as BOTH lines get darker and darker. I tested a day before my period and I got a no-questions-about-it double pink line.
Jasper is going to be a big brother!
Justin is just as excited as I am. We can't believe we're going to be parents of two kids. The new arrival should be here June of 2012.
BABY!!!
*Note: As ladies who've taken these tests before know, it was brighter and more pink the day I took it. As the test dries up the colors darken.

Favicon
Dudes!! I have a favicon.
I'll let that sink in.
What is it? Ulgh, you're killing me, Smalls.
You know... that little tiny picture up there by the address bar. Yep, I have one. Pretty awesome-sauce. I think I'll end up changing it. In fact, I'm positive I will. I just wanted one up there because I could. Now I'm not happy with it. That means I need to come up with a logo of some sort. If it was that easy I'd have one already. Any ideas? I'm also working on a header for the blog.
Decisions are the worst.

October
October
A rush of cold wind signals the start,
Of witches and goblins and ghouls in the dark.
Cauldrons steaming with dragon scales,
Bubbling and boiling and brewing a spell.
Magic runs amok and soaks in your skin,
Infecting, enthralling, you let it in.
All through the month,
You can smell Halloween.
Put a charm on your door,
Beware of all hallows eve.
