The sad truth.

The sad truth behind my lapse in posting is that bf&i started watching Supernatural and we are hooked. So, when we get home from work, we start watching Supernatural and keep watching 'til we go to bed. If we are not watching Supernatural, it's because we are watching one of our fall shows: Sons of Anarchy, Grimm, Parks & Rec, The League, Dexter, American Horror Story, Key & Peele, or most recently, Elementary. 

Sooo yeah. We are lame. It's getting cold out. Bring on the hibernation.

Hair

I've had my fair share of short haircuts, but I started growing my hair out at least 6 years ago and just let it grow. 

I was bad about maintenance though, and it was heavy, and I knew it was time to let it go. 

I know it's just hair, and it grows, but  I had grown (how many times can I use the word grow in this post?) really attached to my long hair. Every time I thought about cutting it, I'd start getting all sorts of compliments on it. I felt like it was an expression of my personality. 

Still. It had to be done! So on Tuesday night, I finally bit the bullet and cut it off. 

Long hair

I honestly thought I'd hate it but the second she cut that ponytail off, I felt much better. I knew it would be okay, haha.

Chop chop.

Finished 'do.

I feel like a new woman!

Weekend

It feels good to be lazy sometimes! We had a nice low-key weekend. 

On Thursday, we started watching American Horror Story. We watched two episodes that night, four on Friday, and on Saturday knocked out the last six. I lovelovelove watching whole seasons of TV shows, even more than watching movies. 

I never really wanted to watch that show but I'm glad I finally gave in because we loved it. I get creeped out very easily but every fall as we approach Halloween I get the urge to be a little scared. Just a little though... no Halloween/Friday the 13th/Jason for me.

Friday we watched our eps while eating some potachoes.

Saturday we had lamb burgers and a few brew-ha-has while finishing up the season. 

Today (Sunday), I made french toast for I think the first time ever. I tried to make pumpkin french toast and it turned out pretty good. I am normally a pancake person but we got a free loaf of texas toast so when life gives you lemonsfree bread, make french toast. 

I didn't really measure anything, just mixed one egg, some cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, a couple spoonfuls of of pure pumpkin, and some vanilla soy milk into a bowl to dip the bread. 

Later we did our Sunday ritual of hitting up Costco (pumpkin pie samples!) and then got Chinese food and watched The Raid: Redemption (which was pretty awesome).

It's been awhile since we had a Sunday like this so it feels nice! Now I'm going to go plant my butt back on the couch. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Restaurant Crawl

Tuesday night, I went to a restaurant crawl downtown with my Mom. I had good intentions of taking pictures of everything I ate, but once the food was in front of me, I couldn't think of anything else and wolfed it down. I finally managed one picture.

Caramel Apple

For the crawl, you went to 15 different restaurants and had a little bite at each one.

I honestly thought we would only make it to four or five but somehow we managed to fit all of this into our stomachs:

• Half of a slider
• Mini coney dog
• Spinach and artichoke dip (x2) and chips
• Chicken wings
• MIni cupcake (pictured above)
• Pork kebab
• Pita with garlic and tzatziki
• Lemon chicken rice soup
• Pulled pork slider
• Ice cream and fudge samples (pumpkin pie and Mississippi mud, respectively)
• Mini shortbread cookie
• Chocolate macaroon (I hate coconut but this was delicious!)
• Bruschetta
• Italian sausage with peppers
• Lasagna
• Sun-dried tomato dip with crackers
• Sushi
• Chicken tenders with ranch
• Homemade potato chips
• Chocolate eclair
• BBQ salad from Panera
• Strawberry scone
• Chocolate chip cookie
• Club sandwich
• Apple fritters
• Meatballs
• Chicken tandoori roll
• Frozen yogurt

Uhhhh ... yeah. Portions were small, but still. We rolled ourselves home and I passed out on the couch watching Real Madrid beat Man City. I don't even know how I ate food the next day. 

(Mrs. Ginger Bloom, have you done one of these? It is super fun.)

Oh when the Yanks go marching in ...

On Tuesday morning, we headed down to Columbus, OH to watch the USMNT take on Jamaica in a World Cup Qualifier. 

Road trip fuel

American Outlaws are awesome. They (with the help of 4th St. Bar in Columbus and the Hudson Street Hooligans) put on the best tailgate. Unlimited Budweiser and bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Don't mind if I do.

Beer, game, awkward, party

Columbus Crew stadium is super nice. I wish we had an MLS team so bad! The game was awesome, nonstop screaming and cheering and beer spilling. I took some really bad phone shots of Dempsey and Howard but instead I will just give you this .gif.

The boys won and we mowed down some nachos and buffalo wings at Applebee's before passing out.

More later! TGIF!
