Currently Contemplating:

-Missing midwestern fall. I want crisp, sunny October days. I want to kick through piles of leaves, in a sweater, on the way to get a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee. 

-Reoccurring thoughts of getting a tattoo.

-Grad School: Harder than I was expecting.

-Coconut Milk ice cream is a new favorite. Tara, sweetly, bought me the ice cream attachment to our KitchenAid and we finally used it last weekend to make Strawberry Coconut with Chocolate Chips. Divine.

-We’ve almost been together for five years (!!). Tara informed me she wants a toothbrush, or more accurately (I think), she wants my permission to buy a $100+ toothbrush without my dramatic death throws on the floor of Bed, Bath, & Beyond. I think I can give her that.

-We owe at least a short vacation review! It was awesome. I wish we were still gone. We can’t handle humidity anymore. Also, there were beignets in abundance. That’s pretty much the gist…this was one of the views out of our hotel in New Orleans.
