Pumpkin Guts and BBQ...

T-minus 40 days till my favorite holiday and to celebrate, the hubby and I are planning a pumpkin carving BBQ. We'll grill up some meat and veggies and serve some scary fun drinks. Not to mention so really fun desserts! Because I LOVE throwing parties I know you can't be too prepared. So without further ado... My latest holiday investments for this fabulous soiree:


Pumpkin Masters Power Poker and Saw

and


Pumpkin Masters Family Carving Kit

I got two of each so multiple people can work at the same time. I just love how they are power tools for carving now. Talk about the Massive Turnaround time!

Now all I need are a few more patterns to print out if inspiration is lacking in some.

Next up... cocktails and the dinner menu! :)

numbers keeping me busy...

1 days till Fireworks Finale!!!!!!
8 days till 15k Art's Run
23 days till Rock N Roll San Jose 1/2 Marathon
37 days till Nike Women's 1/2 Marathon
71 days till our 1 year Anniversary
60 days till My 30th Bday
65 days till Pasadena 1/2 Marathon
68 days till The Hubby's Bday
71 days till Costa Rica
128 days till Rock N Roll Arizona 1/2 Marathon
174 days till Maui

With all these numbers, you'd think somewhere I'd find inspiration to stay active, but I feel lately I'm all talk and no action. Maybe this post will make me really kick my tush into gear and start working out more consistently!

56 days til the most magical night of the year...

Halloween!!!

This year we'll finally be home and in a house! HOORAY! I'm already starting to plan decorations for the front lawn and what we're going to be when we give out candy! We even are going to throw a Pumpkin Carving BBQ the night before so we can get completely in the spirit of it all!

So, what are you doing this year for this festive holiday?

Breaking in the new season...

One of my FAVORITE parts of fall are the colors! I'm not talking about the colors of the leaves, I'm talking about the colors of fall fashion. And if I had a MILLION dollars, I wouldn't feel bad about dropping a "few" bills on a pair of these bad boys!
