As I write this My Gamecocks just beat Vanderbilt 21-3 making them 4-0 and UNDEFEATED!! As it is now Clemsux Clemson is also undefeated and this November should be very interesting!!
Have you noticed the world has gone crazy for PUMPKIN lately?? Cake, ice cream, lattes….BAGELS?!!
Publix Pumpkin Pie ice cream
Pumpkin Spice Bagels!!!
Thank you all soo much for the get well wishes!!! You have no idea how much that means to me!! Most of the swelling is gone and hopefully within the next week the rest will go as well!! Please keep it in your prayers.
The only thing that has really bugged me is this new diet. I feel like im starving all the time!! It’s not even a weight loss calorie level, it’s just normal. I guess it’s because I’ve been overeating for so many months, eating normally doesn’t feel like enough. I’m hoping my tummy will adjust soon. I refuse to give in!!
okay so enough with the bad news. This weekend was Parents Weekend at school , and Columbia was invaded with freshman parents!! That means our already usually busy restaurant was OUT OF CONTROL last night!! In 6 hours we sat 639 people (maybe more)!! We locked the doors at 11 pm and people still wanted in!
I didn’t even get to leave until 1 am and I got there to help set up at 3!! The good news in all this?? My tip share!!
Oh heyyy there new running shoes 🙂
Hopefully I’ll get back to running this week if the swelling continues to go down! I wish I had more time to write because I had the most amazing conversation yesterday with a youth director at my church and I cant wait to share!! Unfortunately I have to be at work early in the morning to set up for the festival downtown.
Whats your favorite way to eat pumpkin? Mine is still my grandma’s pumpkin pie!! But all of these recipes come in a close second!!
Fruits of my Spirit 
I haven’t heard of Viva La Vista but I’ve seen billboards for some Italian Fest in a few weeks… but good luck with working that festival and parents’ weekend… just think about the money and it will get ya through! Those running shoes look awesome and the weather will be great for it soon too!
Super happy the Gamecocks pulled out a win tonight… our defense was kickin’ butt, but our quarterbacks definitely have to improve. I hope Shaw gets some decent playing time, the way Garcia has been playing, we may as well play Shaw… this is Garcia’s last year and he doesn’t seem to be making much of it right now.
The skinny pumpkin spice hot latte at Dunkin Donuts is awesome too! It’s amazing and already sweetened!
Thank you!! It was a kong workday but so worth the money. I’m not sure wjat was on Garcias mind Saturday, but it wasn’t football!! Hopefully Shaw will be able to pull through in the upcoming games!! I didn’t know DD had a pumpkin latte too. Ill have to give it a try and compare 🙂
Hay lovely, glad to hear you’re doing ok. Those running shoes rock, I am so in love with blue nikes atm! Pumpkin shmumpkin, I’m refusing to open a tin until October now, don’t want to get too excited about fall eats too quickly! Although pumpkin muffins are calling ;p
I know, I’m trying to give myself a pumpkin break this week. I dint want to get sick of it too soon!! Mmmm muffins are the best 🙂
Ahh I love Viva La Vista!!! I had epic sweet potatoes from Ruth’s Chris at the festival last year 🙂
How funny, I actually went through the sweet potato line twice after work. They are so good!!
Pumpkin soup, it is the best!!!! 😀 Or pumpkin compote, not too bad either 🙂
I believe your tummy really needs just time to readjust. When I sometime have a “period” of eating too much for too long time, my body gets a new “calorie-intake-limit” and craves more food even when I get back to my “normal” eating. Once it gets used to I am not over-fueling it anymore, it all goes back to normal. I love how you are positive about this – really don´t give up, it will all clear out!
I saw your yummy recipe for pumpkin soup and I can’t wait to try it!! I’m sure you’re right and that as soon as I get used to eating normally ill be fine, the re-adjustment period is pretty rough 😦 thanks for you encouragement and sweet comments!! They really help!!
Hahaha I am going to look past the “clemsux” comment!!! AHH it was parents weekend too- it was PACKED here!!! AHH LOVE PUMPKIN! i GOTA find those bagels asap!
Haha I’m sorry but thanks for being a good sport about it!! Those bagels were so good!! I got mine at Publix 🙂
I saw a sign for pumpkin bagels at the bagel store last weekend and was so excited- I get up to order and they were sold out! Boo!! So now I’ve def been craving one!
They were soo good, but they are addictive!! I got mine at Publix and I also saw them at Walmart 🙂
i am obsessed with pumpkin! and i need to find a publix ASAP so i can get myself some of those delicious bagels!!!
i hope you are feeling better girl!
pumpkin spice bagels?! yes please!! i just got some pumpkin ice cream and am LOVING it 🙂
Those bagels were awesome!! I guess the rest of my family thought so too because they were gone in 3 days!!
I’m usually not the biggest fan of pumpkin but lately since the blog world is all over it…I have to say that I’m loving it too! 😛 Have a great weekend!
Its amazing how many awesome recipes FOR PUMPKIN are floating around the blog world!!
I’m not a big fan of pumpkin. I made pumpkin oatmeal once and that was the last time I made it. But I am willing to give it another try by making pumpkin bread. 🙂
I actually love pumpkin, its just it seems to be everywhere this year!! I guess I got too excited and ate too much at first 🙂
I actually do like pumpkin, especially pumpkin bread!! I guess I just got so excited with all the pumpkin recipes floating around that I ate too much at first 🙂
Publix makes me think of family vacations to Disney World! 🙂
And, wow, it’s fall already????
I love publix, they have some of the best deals!! I know I can’t believe its already october, but I am ready for fall weather.
