Kitten Casual

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I relaxed and enjoyed myself. After a really busy past two weeks at work, it was nice to take some time to myself. I was able do laundry, clean, make some pumpkin whoopie pies, and catch up on some TV (Sons of Anarchy and RuPaul's Drag Race 4). Steve was on a short tour with his band Scale Model this weekend. I took some time to myself and then got to have some quality time with good friends. A good friend from college was in town visiting family, and I was able to spend Saturday night showing her a good time in East Nashville. I love when old friends come to visit me. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Last weekend Steve and I headed to the Farmer's Market to pick up some pumpkins for the season. Steve is a really big pumpkin carving fan. I haven't carved a pumpkin in many years, so when he found this out we HAD to get a pumpkin ASAP. The market was beautiful, filled with fall vegetables and tons of mums.

We ended up getting two large carving pumpkins, a bunch of small decorative ones and one large baking pumpkin. I cooked that pumpkin in order to make these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. The recipe was fairly easy to follow and I think the result turned out pretty delicious. My only problem was making sure the cookies stayed about the same size circle. I made sure to use the ice cream scoop method mentioned in the recipe, but that didn't really work well for me. C'est la vie.

This was the first weekend that I was able to break out my favorite corduroy jacket. I purchased this jacket during college and I wear it all the time. I don't think I've updated the buttons in the last 5 years either. I'm getting old. This was also the first time I got to use the purse I got through my first Little Black Bag order. This bag is perfect! It fits my wallet, cellphone, glasses case, makeup and a small book with no problem.
