Hello! I just got home from my mom’s and wanted to do a quick check in 
After breakfast I drove down to work from my mom’s house. We don’t leave my little brother alone just yet, but he doesn’t really require a sitter. I was just there as a “responsible adult”, in theory at least.
My brother’s GF gave me this mug. Apparently she thinks I need to calm the heck down. Thanks Heather! 
My mom stocked the fridge for my arrival and had a big container of tuna made plus tons of veggies. Since my little bro doesn’t love pickles I thought the tuna needed more pickleyness. I think SR is onto something with her pickled salad toppings. I’m a fan.
If I watch your kid, I eat your watermelon. Monica tax!
I also checked in with my dad’s pumpkin patch. I asked him to plant me some pumpkins and they are thriving!!!
I’m already excited for Fall because of this…
The dogs eat our avocados, hope they don’t get into the pumpkin patch because then we’d have two dogs for sale.
When my mom got home we walked the perros, I finished up a freelance article and talked to the pumpkin patch to encourage it to grow. I was so productive today!!! Go Me! 
Then, I headed home…
Well, first I stopped at my favorite nail place to get minty 
I also taxed my mom a few Werther’s butterscotch candies. These are amazing and perfect for the drive.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t tax my mom any avocados because she didn’t have any ripe ones. Fail of America Mexico.
But my craving was relentless and I stopped on the way home. Ahhhh. So good.
My final tax of the night was a sip of Ben’s banana chocolate chip shake from Carl’s Jr. It’s not good, tastes like fake naner. Now you know.
See ya later!
You should move to Boston with all the taxing you do. For a state that was all about fighting taxes from the Brits, they sure tax the hell out of everything. 🙂
Yay for pumpkins!
Pickles on salad are awwwwwesome. Actually, pickles are good pretty much all the time 🙂
preach it sister! AMEN.
Oh I hate fake-banana flavor. Why can’t they just use real bananas?
Generally I see people wear their rings opposite, put on the band first and then the engagement ring. Any reason you wear yours the way you do?
My engagement ring is a bit looser and I think it looks better this way 🙂
I really wanted to plant pumpkins this year in my garden and paint them for Halloween; but I didn’t! I planted watermelons that were eaten, it’s okay I share the wealth with rabbits/raccoons/squirels/groundhogs. Love the minty color on your nails!
You planted watermelons?!?!??! LOVE IT!
OMG on the Chew today they were talking about the incline of watermelon prices and then their was a audience question if a watermelon was a fruit or a vegetable. Turns out its both! Clinton Kelly called it a bi-sexual! (part of the gourd family) It was super funny and I immediately thought of you! 🙂
Ah! I didn’t know I loved a bisexual food!
oo never had pickles in my salad… but that does sound good!
fake banana flavoring is the absolute worst…I can do almost any other fake flavor, love me some artificial grape and blue reasberry
You know, I never thought to ask this…are you a full-time blogger? I need to get paid to pace around and watch soaps.
I’m not a full time blogger any more – I used to, but I got recruited back to my old job and now I work full time for them and blog.
I always slice dill pickles super fine and mix it with my Tuna. My hubby had never tried it before and now everytime I make Tuna he makes sure it has the pickles 😉 Delicious!
My husbands parents grow us pumpkins! I love being able to carve some at their place and then go to the patch near our home. I love your nail polish too!
I ate avocados on my burger last night. I was going to die if I didn’t have them on there. It was a good decision on my part.
I need to be able to grow avocados in our back yard!! boo!! When I lived in Minnesota, our uncle always grew pumpkins for us to sell in our front yard. We made BANK!!!
1. I have alomst the same mug, but mine says keep calm and drink coffee.
2. I love the mini pumpkin growing!
3. I eat sugar-free Werther’s Originals all day long! Only 40 calories for 5 pieces!
I just got the same color on my nails last week! Love it! 🙂
fake banana just never tastes like the real thing huh? i find as i get older i keep ordering vanilla. what the heck?
Ben always gets vanilla and he got this flavor just because he thought I’d like it. Guess we’re back to vanilla!
Love the minty nails! Have you always had sapphires in your wedding band or did I never notice before?
Yeah, I”ve always had them. Ben picked it out 🙂
Oh man, if I got paid for walking around the house and looking in the fridge I’d be a rich woman. LOL. Loving the minty nails friend! 🙂 And now I want pickles on a salad. Thank you?
And I’m so gonna pick up a jar of guacomole on my way home tonite!
Love the nail polish color!
And the strike out about the dogs. Although, that’s great they like healthy avocados.
Pumpkins… so when you steal your dad’s pumpkins, what do you plan on doing with them?
I don’t know yet! I wasn’t even sure they were going to grow because we’ve never had an edible garden before.
