Where to even start? I think from now until Christmas our lives are booked solid. Last Thursday, I headed to St. Louis for work with two other coworkers. We stayed at the Drury Inn and it was amazing. The customer service was phenomenal, you get free food and booze, and did I mention the people were just so darn nice?!? Dinner at the Cheesecake factory. And cheesecake to go which I ate in the hotel bed in my pajamas. You’ll be happy to know we all woke up early the next morning and worked off those calories in the hotel gym. After wrapping up work I headed home to celebrate the upcoming…

Thursday Thoughts
Pinterest is awesome. I know I’m the billionth person to say that, but it is. 2. Speaking of Pinterest, I did manage to make funfetti cookies last Sunday and they were just as delicious as I thought they would be. I will warn you that they are super addictive so get them out of your house as soon as possible. I’m addicted to HyVee’s Santa Fe mix. Which is why I don’t buy it that often.
