5 things currently making my heart go pitter patter

Y'all are going to kill me (or maybe you don't care), but I'm still "working" on the New Orleans recap aka I've been too lazy to upload/edit all the pics.   I swear tomorrow I am blogging it or you can turn me into the bullshiz police.  To tide you over, here are five things that are currently making my heart go pitter patter:

1. The red cup is back at Starbucks; The official sign that the holidays have arrived!  Why yes sir, that's exactly how you spell my name:


2. My ankle is not completely busted after all even though if you looked at it you'd think otherwise:
I had my appointment with the orthopedic this morning and I got hooked up with a fancy schmancy ankle brace which apparently I must wear at all times for a few weeks.  I was also ordered to do at home physical therapy exercises until my follow-up with him in 3 weeks.  As much as this pains me, I'm not allowed to wear heels so if anyone has some good flat recommendations I'm all ears.

3. Next weekend I get to go pick out my second ever "fresh the farm" Christmas tree!  You have no idea how incredibly excited I get about this time of year.  My first "fresh from the farm" tree from last year:

To all you FREAKS who have already decorated for Christmas: pump the freaking breaks! You're not allowed to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, duh. 

4. I'm so head over heels with the recipe site Skinnytaste that if I wasn't so lazy, I'd make a new dish every night.  Instead, I'll stick to trying out something new once a week. My latest creation?  Her dijon herb pork chops.  I died:

5. And last, but certainly not least, that Friday me and my besties are going to see Breaking Dawn!  #TeamEdward  How anyone thinks Taylor Lautner is hot is beyond me.  He legit looks like a wolf IRL.

Yes, his body is nice, but as Beth said to me this morning, "He's a baby and he tries to act grown.  I'm not down with that."

  2. i have missed you. i need to catch up on what you've been up to. and i have no idea what is going on with your ankle, but it seriously needs to grow up and start acting like an adult. <3 <3 i need to check out skinnytaste. i hate burgers and fries tonight (totally acceptable since it was american-ish).

  3. when you told me this post mentioned me i was thinking "aw, i make her heart go pitter patter." then i thought..."powder makes it go pitter patter."

    i still enjoy my little shout out as always. :)

    i keep wanting to put up my christmas decor, but it's too soon. so soon. i might do it next Wednesday when i'm off work though. i love my little fall decor too much to put it away.

  5. Braces for injuries are for the birds. HATE. THEM.

    ROBsessed here...we are going tomorrow night at midnight. My other Robsessed girlfriends and I had made it a tradition ever since the first movie came out so we ARE sticking to it. I can't wait.

  7. I am gonna quote Raven "I have NEVER seen any breaking dawn movies or other vampire crap." Legit! But you have fun...& Taylor, his head is ttooo small for his body. & yay for the red cups at Starbucks. So I am thinking ppl that work at Starbucks are just bad spellers...I know my name is kinda hard-ish, but yours too? & goodness, I have always wanted a Christmas tree, maybe when I am on my own.

  15. Red cups = Happy Place :) Glad your ankle isnt completely busted. And sorry to say Boomer and I are solidly Team Jacob, her because he was Shark Boy before he was Jacob, and me from the books not Taytay.

  16. Totally jealous of the real tree. I've NEVER had one. My mom is such a freak... she doesn't want to clean up after it and she's scared the house will catch on fire.

    Target has the cutest flats in my opinion!

  17. Your poor ankle! Its hurts to look at! Love real Christmas trees but I agree NOT til after Christmas! duh!

  18. I love real trees, but I'm too afraid I'd kill it. Not that great about remembering to water things...

    I go to the same Starbuck's every single morning and they spell my name different every time. Once the girl put Jo! Um, yeah, because Carrie sounds just like Jo!! I totally watched her do it too and didn't say anything. I couldn't!

    Never seen any of those twilight movies...totally not interested!

  19. PS Linds, what do you drink at starbucks!?! my best friend is a Barista there, for 5 years. I have NO clue how she has worked there that long. The stories she tells me about her customers, are hilarious and yet would make me run and cry out the front door on the first day! hah

  20. I completely agree with you on the Christmas decorating! You MUST wait until after Thanksgiving. Atleast Thanksgiving day! LOL! Love your tree from last year!

I have an appt on Friday for my 1st ever spray tan! I am UBER nervous and wasn't sure if there was a secret to it or not! Thanks for your advice!!!

  27. Honestly watching Jacob take off his shirt last movie made me throw up in my mouth. I thought I was watching kiddie porn. He looks like a baby and I just can't get down with that. It literally makes me sick to even think about. VOMMMM!

    I will be viewing Breaking Dawn tomorrow at 5:20pm. Not like I'm excited or anything. And while I think the movies are super cheesy and kinda bad compared to the books, you know I'll enjoy myself.

    Next time you go to Sbx, you ARE telling them your name is Nevaeh, right? Don't let me down. I want to see if they manage to spell that right, they probably will. That's what you get for having such a freakishly weird name like Lindsey.
