Hey there party people! It’s Friday! Did you have a good week? I hope it was fabulous!

This week I…

{Hey, if anyone can tell me why my … are doing that weird thing, I’ll make you a pie.}

1. Tried on my #rfr5k socks. As soon as I decided to tag-along with the group, I knew I needed their signature socks.

Because, back in the day, I was Wonder Woman. And, darn it, it’s time I started feeling that way again. Plus, they’re cute.

{And, OMG how much does Jordan look like me??}

My race is on Sunday, the 9/11 Run to Remember in Sacramento. Are you racing this weekend?

2. Football started on Wednesday night. YAY! <Insert snarky face here.>

I made *special* Pumpkin Muffins.

And I gave you part 1 of the anatomy of my switch to WordPress.

3. We’re ramping up the school year: homework, activities, whining. Jordan’s teacher gave her a tip for adding and subtracting that finally seemed to hit home and she actually wanted to do her math yesterday, hallelujah. (Example: when doing 7 + 5, draw 5 dots on the 5 and count up from 7. Which is pretty much the same thing I’ve been telling her to do with her fingers or by drawing a picture. But I’m easier to argue with.)

4. I love this picture.

5. Okay, this is totally random. I miss milk cartons. Everything is in a plastic jug nowadays. I happened to buy a carton the other day and while I was pouring it on my cereal I realized I missed holding cartons.

Like I said. Random.

6. Last Fall, Mel had to go to Toronto for work. He brought me back a little glass jar of authentic maple syrup, which I proceeded to drop on the floor and shatter before even getting to use. Karen remembered this and look at what she sent me:

And it’s in a tin. That can’t break! Thanks Karen!

7. Hello lady? A the gym? Who put her mat 1mm from mine in a totally empty workout classroom (no joke, we were the first two there)? And then gave me the evil eye because she didn’t have enough room to plank? Um, I’m not moving. #Iwastherefirst #moveyourownself

8. I can’t decide what birthday cake to make myself. What’s your favorite?

{Side note, you know you’re a food blogger when you make your own birthday cake and it’s totally normal and not weird. In fact, let’s make that blogger rule #5.}

9. I was able to find both Candy Corn M&Ms and Candy Corn Oreos at Target this week. That makes me feel: 1. a little anxious because ohmygodIdon’thavehalloweenalldoneyet and 2. Happy. And I don’t even like candy corn. *shock* *gasp*

10. Have a great weekend everyone! Do something fun. 🙂

See you soon!

xo, Dorothy

  4. That maple syrup looks awesome. Can you believe I’ve NEVER had real maple syrup? Nope, sadly, I was raised on Mrs. Buttersworth. So I’m assuming maple is quite hurrah worthy! Also, I’m super glad you got yoself those candy corn goodies because THOSE GOLDEN OREOS, MAN. Friggin’ amazing. Weird you didn’t find pumpkin kisses; I found mine by the regular kisses but not near the Halloween stuff (wtf Target).

    1. Well you’re gonna have to come over and have pancakes then. Totally required! Oh god, those Oreos. And the M&Ms. DEVILS I tell you!

  5. Candy corn Oreos??? To Target I shall go.

    That’s called “touch math”. *shudder*
    They teach it in primary grades and, I mean, I get why, but it leads to kids being super dependent on it, like they can be with counting on fingers. There’s a reason I don’t teach primary grades lol.

    1. I know, I worry it won’t help in the long run. But oh my God, it’s better than her sitting and staring at me and then crying for 5 minutes when I ask her what 4 + 6 is. 🙂

  6. I bought those fun socks and then forgot to sign up for the race I wanted to do…guess I’ll be out running by myself in my rad socks!!! The lady in the workout room needs to get out of your bubble…really why do people do that? And my Target is so behind in putting out the fun stuff…I was there yesterday and only found pumpkin kisses. I WANT the candy corn goodness too!!! Yup a little anxious that I won’t find it:-)

    1. MINE DIDN’T HAVE PUMPKIN KISSES. WTH? 🙂 I really wanted them too! The Oreos weren’t with Halloween, they were in the front of the store in a special section. Weird!

  7. #7 totally had a lady do that to me in a yoga class once. I was the first person in the room, set up my mat and she came in and put her mat literally overlapping mine by a 1mm. Then her friend came in and did the same d*** thing to the other side of me. I did move and never went back to the class again. (They were all a bunch of rude women who because I was the newcomer didn’t have time to even give me a hello anyway.)

  9. First off, I don’t see anything weird about your …
    As for blogger rule #5 about making your own cake, yep, totally with you there. Cause other hubs would go to the grocery store and buy one, ICK.

    1. You don’t? That’s cool. When I see them they are all up in the middle of the words. Weird! Thanks for letting me know! Oh, and totally. How many grocery store cakes have I eaten? TOO MANY. 🙂
