Gimme.

Since it's officially my birthday month, I thought I would give everyone a heads up with an insight to my wish list, so I can make shopping easy on you ;). Please give me any and all of the below and we should have one happy momma on our hands ... bahahaha. Let's remember they're called wish lists for a reason ... a girl can dream right?!

But seriously, GIMMMEEEEEE!

Gimme Yurman.

Gimme wine.

A couple cases of Kung Fu girl and a trip to California wine country should do the trick!

That's not too much to ask for right? Completely reasonable. 

Okay, now get to shopping!

Baggage Confession

I little rant on Confessional Friday if I may ...

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THE BAGGERS AT MY GROCERY STORE THINKING??? 

I mean for realz y'all.  How is it possible that in their bagger training (which I assume they have?) their supervisor didn't happen to mention that canned goods do NOT go on top of my bread. This is a bagger fail, epic baggage failure. And furthermore, when I take the time to unload my grocery cart and put my chilled dairy items together or cluster my fruit items and maybe even put my canned goods next to one another on the miniature conveyor belt ... do you think it's possible that I have done this for a reason? Well, news flash mister ... indeed I have.

Am I alone in my OCD grocery baggage madness? Or do the rest of you go Krogering (or Piggly Wigglying or Publixing or Whereevering) and cringe when you see your helpful bagger at the end of the moving food machine throw your massive jar of spaghetti sauce right on top of your apples. Only to get home and deal with what are now oozing applesauce bruises that you are certain were not there when you picked them from the apple pile.  I mean come on guy, I don't even like applesauce.  And furthermore, even if I did like the gritty fruit substance I would want to purchase a fresh jar of it ... I can assure you I don't need you making it for me inside my plastic bag.

So here's the deal. The big baggage deal.  My name is Katie and I confess I have a problem.  I am entirely too concerned about futile life issues and they bother me so much that I have taken it upon myself to share it with the world.  I, nor you, will ever get the minutes back it took to write/read this post. Nevertheless, I feel much better this is off my chest.  Thanks for listening to my crazy baggage. 

Now head on over and see Leslie for Confessional Friday Link Up!

Peace, love and better bagging.

Fall and Football.

It's almost here!

My absolute favorite time of year in the bluegrass. So much to look forward to and so much to do! Amidst the almost PERFECT weather and my FAVORITE wardrobe, fall fashion, and BOOTS it's hard to not be excited!  The food, the colors, the events, eek too much for me to handle.  Not to mention, throw in my birthday and our anniversary and things are pure bliss.  I made a bucket list for our little family to check off this fall and I'm ready to tackle the season head on.

One of my all time favorite quotes. So perfect. 

Speaking of tackle, is there anyone out there who doesn't love football season?  Don't get me wrong, knowing that my TV will be screening only sports center 24/7 does get a little old ... but tailgating, Saturday cookouts and road trips to Cincinnati for Bengals games has me super pumped!

We kicked off the college football season this past weekend, with an on screen viewing of my beloved CAYUTS vs WKU while we lived it up at the lake.  And I still love them no matter the outcome :(  University of Kentucky, you will always have my heart.

Then we headed home Sunday morning to enjoy the UofL game so hubs could see his team stomp Ohio in the 2013 season opener.  Woohoo, we can already check "Bennett's First Football Game" off the fall bucket list!  I couldn't bring myself to put our son in that red garbage, so I made Shane dress him. I just feel so guilty since he's not able to make his own outfit decisions yet :) hehe.

Oh man, tailgating and cookouts have my cooking brain a spinning. It's time to start scouring new dip recipes to bring to the games.  

Yes. I love it. 
Welcome Fall, welcome.

Fall Bucket List: 2013

That's right ... Fall is just around the corner and summer is coming to an end *TEAR*. Now, normally I am one of the first ladies to jump on the Fall bandwagon, but I just can't seem to believe that summer is coming to a close. Probably because so much has happened this summer, I'm having a harder time than normal letting it go.  I don't want to think about pumpkin spice latte's and boots with skinny jeans yet (even though I'm stoked to be back in uniform). But add officially heading back to work, and leaving my lazy days with BUB in bed ... and fall just doesn't seem as exciting this year because I'm a little sad :(

Anyway.

That being said. Pinterest is a buzz with All Things Fall, so I guess I need to look past my end of summer despair and start looking forward to what's to come, because that really is filled with so many exciting things too.  I decided to make a Family Bucket List to help me get in the spirit! 

Personalize your own bucket list from the gal behind Funky Polkadot Giraffe.

Looks like we've got a great fall line up.  So excited for football games with little man and a whole new wardrobe for him too!

Now bring on the caramel apples and boots! Bennett and I are ready for some fun leaves to play in!!  Well ... maybe he'll be more excited in a year or two, but I'm sure I can make him pose to appear he's into it ;)
