Friday Favorites

 

Favorite Thought

Often, the answer to our prayer does not come while we're on our knees but while we're on our feet serving the Lord & serving those around us.:


 Favorite Halloween Costume

OK - so this is probably my favorite Halloween costume of the year
... & I love it even more because I love both of these people in this picture
(3 really in this picture - hello baby in the belly)
But sweet Emily doesn't get to miss out on Halloween since she is in a wheelchair. She's got such creative parents that incorporated her wheelchair into a Claw Machine.
Isn't it fantastic!!!  Totally a favorite!!!
Heck, I want to sit in the middle of all those stuffed animals myself - fun stuff!

Favorite Food Tip

The Simplest Way to Cook Butternut Squash Ever:


I've always wanted to try to make my own Spaghetti Squash at home but always afraid of the cutting the thing & putting in the oven (dumb - I know) but BAM - found this & am excited.
A coworker actually tried it already & said it worked perfectly & easily!

Just clean & put in a crock pot:

Place whole squash in slow cooker and cook until soft and easily pierced, about 4 to 5 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low.
  1. When cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out seeds

Favorite Funnies
 I cant help but laugh at this every time I see it!:

YES!! Every time! Crazy baggers mess with my OCD:

Yes. Some people just arent smart and you can't help them.:

my life:

... how I felt at the start of vacation when I told myself to enjoy the week
...when I attempt to go on a long run & my knee pain starts in the first mile
...when I know the answer that my office manger doesn't
 
... when I get my credit card statement & see all the yarn that I bought






...when I see a coworker out in a public store

  2. cutting and baking squashes in the oven is easy peasy! it just depends on how you want it done and the squash type as well. i like my spaghetti squash baked face-side down with olive oil and sea salt yum!!

  17. I don't have knee pain (I used to, but I only get if I repeatedly run down hills, thanks Air Force), but I hate when I get really intense cramps near the end of my run. So close!! But trying to run with one is like a stabbing pain every step.
