Fun Friday

No Fearless today...ALL FUN!!  It just sounds like people might need a fun thing to get them through until the weekend.  So, have your hand at Reversi above.  I'm not going to keep it up for long, but I thought you might enjoy it if you need a little break.  I loved this game when I was a kid and I got pretty excited when I just saw it.  If you've never played, it is addictive!  Have Fun!!!!!!!

Brussel Sprouts

We finally had some of the wonderful brussel sprouts that are in season for dinner tonight.  I've been looking for different recipes, and I found this really easy one from Rachel Ray's mag:

Halve the sprouts, mix with olive oil and sea salt, bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes or until tender.  Serve with cut up apple and cooked bacon pieces. 

This was so easy and so delicious!  It was one of those perfect fall dishes.

Just a little sad

My Detroit Tigers just lost in an amazing 12 inning tie-breaker :(  I'm a little sad and had to grieve about it just for a minute.  I know it's not even close to being the end of the world, but it is always sad to see those poor guys faces when they realize they're not going to the post-season.  Oh, well.  I'll be better tomorrow!  Have a great day, everyone!!!

Mega March for Michigan Humane Society

I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend!  I walked for the Michigan Humane Society on Sunday and it was a great success again.  All the dogs were so well-behaved (I know better than to bring mine because he would have been the exception) and the rain held off.  Here are some photos of the happy fur-monsters!

Fearless Friday

Normally (as in 99.99999% of the time), I am a live and let live person.  I don't really like to be told what to do, and I hate telling other people what to do even more.  Being good sleuths that you are, you may be predicting right now that this is that 0.00001% time and that it accounts for my fearless act this Friday.  I promise I won't go around giving any more advice after today, so don't be scared off, and just know I'm doing it with the kindest of gestures.

As you are aware, the wonderful month of October is now upon us.  It means hayrides, apples, and brisk walks in the woods.  October is also National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Because of this, I am advising everyone to consider the people in your life (including yourself) and make sure everyone who should have an annual breast exam has.  Many women need a little push in the right direction when it comes to this issue and we can all be there for each other.  I know I need to schedule mine, so I'm going to make the call today.
