i couldnt think of a catchy title

some days i have my sassy pants on and can think of clever titles, other days....not so much. i blame my lack of coffee this morning. speaking of coffee, i really need to remember to buy filters at the store. ive been macgyvering filters out of paper towels, which is totally trashy but works in a pinch.

ive been a busy bean the past week. here's a fancy recap:

i went hiking on labor day! shaner and i took the mutts up milcreek canyon (the only canyon where you can take dogs) and hiked the pipeline trail. we let weezy off leash and he was darting everywhere loving life, sniffing stuff and pooping on rocks. however, indy is sometimes a dick with other dogs so we had to keep him leashed. but with him leashed i had a nice little pack mule to pull me up the hill lol. it was a beautiful day. love the smells of the mountains.

shane went on a business trip! i was sad to drop him off to go to the airport, and went home and moped. but then a funny thing happened.....my secret single behavior that had been on hold came out. you ladies know what i mean, the stuff you do when youre alone but dont do when youre with someone. i had the ENTIRE bed to myself. it was glooorious! i travelled all over the bed and starfished like it was nobodys business. i watched terrible girl movies that would otherwise be banned (new years eve, miss congeniality, sex and the city, julie and julia etc....). i had ice cream for breakfast and maybe lunch too. i turned bad dance music up really loud and danced around my house. it was all fun and games for the first two days, then i started to miss my sweetie. the bed seemed too big and lonely, all the girl movies made me miss him more, and for fear of getting a cavity, i decided to eat something else besides sweets. so i made indian food the night before he got home (because honestly, who doesnt want to come home to a house smelling like curry?). it was chicken coconut kurma and it was DELISH!

when shane got home i was so excited i mightve done the happy dance. for those of you who dont know what the happy dance is, its mostly just some hip gyrating and excited hand waving. he made it home just in time for friday night date night! we visited our local mexican spot for fajitas and beers, and then went to the movies and saw lawless. it was pretty good, and i think it convinced shane that we need to start making moonshine. (as you do?)

now that im domesticated, i do house stuff on the weekends. like clean the garage....

before

after

okay, so i didnt really help per se with the garage cleaning. i mostly just spectated and offered moral support....and fed indy popcorn through the dog-door peep-hole. it was so funny. (but it wasnt that funny later that day when i was nasally assaulted by popcorn dog farts. ugh! so smelly!)

aaaand, september is festival month here in salt lake, so i did my part and made appearances at the greek festival and oktoberfest. at greek fest i had to get a pic with my brother from another mother, dillon. i mean the kid was rocking a white polyester onesie tucked into cowboy boots, why wouldnt you get a photo together lol. we got to watch some traditional greek dancing, then they invited everyone on stage to dance afterwards. my friend cheree and i were on the stage in a flash, hopping around like spazzes and yelling OOOPA! love greek fest!

then on sunday, shaner and i drove up little cottonwood canyon to oktoberfest at snowbird. we met our friends, sampled some delicious beers, and rode the peruvian lift up to the top to check out mineral basin. 

it was a great fall day. now i just need to top off my festival month with a trip to the utah state fair! id ramble more about how much i love the fair, but i need to get ready for a hot lunch date with my ladies. hope yall have a great day XO
