Busy October

First Thing:
October always seems to be a busy month.  This one in particular.  I started working and the month flew by.  Here's a little recap of the month.
I made Crème brûlée which took up a lot of eggs.  It was delicious but not worth making again or ordering in a restaurant (unless it has a gold star).  But it was nice to try something I'd never tried before.  Now that I have all these egg whites, I'll make an angel food cake with those!

 

My sister Sarah and her friend Dontay came home for a weekend and they came to the fair with Nate and I.  I get so caught up in fun (and I forget my camera) that I don't take pictures.  Nate was being a punk and you can hardly see his face.

Now I have a morning commute and an evening commute to work.  This is an attempt to capture, with my phone, the beautiful sunrise one morning.  I love the sunrise.  However, I do not love the sun blinding me because my sunvisors don't block it.

One of my favorite gifts I recieved for my birthday (other than my coat and sunflowers) were silicon muffin cups.  So I tested them out and made chocolate chip muffins to go along with the carmel truffle coffee I made with my new coffee grinder.  It was delicious. : )

One Friday nigth a friend called with a great deal on Rangers tickets to watch them play the Yankees.  We lost that game, but clearly we didn't lose the series.  It was the first Rangers game I'd gone to and seen the stadium full.  I guess because we were actually good this season.

Why yes, this is Reunion tower and yes I work here.  (Not actually in the tower but in the hotel attached to the tower.)

And in regards to my sweet job.  I got three free tickets to the Mavs v Rockets game for our company suite.  And we received the platinum parking pass so parking was free.  We had a full night of fun FO' FREE!! 



Not only that, after the Mavs won with .4 seconds left on the clock, they showed the Rangers game one the big screen above the court.  So we watched the Rangers beat the Yankees to head to the World Series.  (Which you can only kind of see on the screen.)

And then last weekend was filled with baking.  Candy Corn

Acorns

And fun leaves. 

And there were some pumpkins . . . but those were eaten fairly quickly.

And because the Rangers went to the World Series . . .

And btw. . . I thought I'd posted this already . . . but as you can see it's the end of November and it's just now getting posted.  Oops.
