cabbages, cabbages, yum, yum, yum

At the apple orchard a few weekends ago, we stumbled upon some cabbages as well.

The first thing I thought of was....wow, that looks just like a Cabbage Patch Kids patch.
Am I a child of the 80's or what?

I so remember the mad rush at toy stores to nab one of those prized dolls.
People would trample each other and get in fights.
It...was...nuts.

I also remember the Christmas I got one.
Glee. Joy. Giggling. Screaming.
Snuggling with that treasured doll.

Those were the happy memories that instantly came back the moment I snapped that photo of a silly little cabbage.

ps...did anyone else have the Cabbage Patch kids cassette tape/record? My sister and I wore that things out. I still remember all the songs. And I know my sister is now singing along with every one of those videos. Aren't you, sis?

My new toy. It arrived on Saturday. Got an AMAZING deal. The bro told me about it and I asked him to get me one too. Now we are "matchy-matchy-green-square." No, it's not an ipod. It's a Zune. It's basically the same thing except you don't have to sell your soul to Apple to load stuff onto it. It plays video and holds pictures and does all that fun stuff too.

A little Sigur Ros for listening

A little 30 Seconds to Mars for watching (hello, Jordan Catalano...he really can sing)

No, I wasn't at the ER this weekend,

but I wanted to post a picture and I found this one of the boys of my family and I at the ER set on the Warner Brothers lot. Every time we see it while watching the show, we still have to say "I was there!" Stupid, yes, I know.

Good weekend.

Ikea trip. So much inspiration there. It doesn't take long to spend an hour there or 3.

Spent some quality time "in" Dillon, Texas catching up with the Panthers and their hometown crew. I'm now completely caught up and waiting like the rest of the world for Fridays, 9:00pm. I'm officially addicted.

Officially became a member of my church. So cool. Had a great talk with one of the pastors. So encouraging. Just what I needed. God is always using that place in my life!

Got a super cool new toy in the mail. Will post a pic. I think I love it.

Went to the farmer's market. Got some pumkins and tomatoes. There was a fun blue grass band there. Banjo and all.

Washed my car and vacuumed it. Did all that amidst a GORGEOUS sunset beside me over the water. Fall is here and the sunsets are proving it. They are putting on their best shows every night.

Off to bed. Another week awaits. Going to see the fam in the north this weekend. Can't wait to see how much the munchkin has grown! Night, all.
