Thank You Notes: Carbs, Rain, September, Giveaway

Posted on

I love Fridays, I love thank you notes, and I love Jimmy Fallon’s Thank You Notes, so, naturally, Friday here on my blog means:

Thank You Notes and Jimmy Fallon!

Thank You Notes| It's FRIDAY, time for thank you notes!

Jimmy’s Thank You Notes

Thank You Notes

I was running a bit behind, so I thought if you guys wouldn’t mind, I’d write out my weekly thank you notes. Do y’all mind? Of course you don’t, you’re here. THANK YOU! ?

Thank you, Labor Day Weekend, for being the long hard kiss goodbye of summer.

Because we were in denial that summer break was coming to an end, we were last minute shoppers. When you’re a last minute shopper you buildup an appetite and stop for sushi. When you stop for sushi and the sushi is on a conveyor belt in beautiful glass domes, it gets dangerous. 😀

Thank you, family, for carbs. How’s mama supposed to ever look like a swimsuit model with all these carbs?!?!

The girls made an AHHMAZING peach pie. I didn’t take pictures of it because we devoured it ASAP. This is the pie crust cookie hearts they gave us before the pie. OHEMGEE those were so goooood.

Sunday my baby girl and my husband made homemade pretzels. WOW!

We had a semi-traditional German dinner and watched the Longhorns Hook ’em. 😉

The carbs are ending for me soon. Well, not completely,  I will allow myself a treat or two. 😀

Thank you, PNW, for making sure to remind us where we live with a lovely sprinkling of rain and gray all day on the first day of school. Good light, who needs good light?

Our first day of school pictures didn’t come out as good because lighting and rain, but that’s okay our traditional Happy 1ST Day of School Ice Cream was good (that’s what they told me anyway, because no ice cream for me).

LADIES!! I have a high schooler!!!

Thank you, September!!

Y’all I’m a sucker for note cards, pencils, and a good margarita. Although, it’s been forever since I’ve had one! (I must fix that SOON) I take my margarita on the rocks, I hope you do too. 🙂

    I was JUST thinking about the carbs thing. I was telling a friend over lunch – who is slim like me – that even though I’m thin, if I wore tight clothing, it would be evident to everyone that I freakin’ love ice cream.
    (I don’t want to change)
    Pie crust cookie hearts! My mom does that when she makes pie!
    Yes to that meme about what killed the dinosaurs.
    As for the NFL, I think I’m too late, but umm.. Dallas Cowboys! haha, just kidding. I saw that it won.

    1. MrsA0K2001

      September 10, 2016 at 12:11 pm

      Yeah, that’s me with carbs. I’m not super thin, but I’m small-ish, so yes my carb baby shows. NO TIGHT CLOTHES FOR THIS LADY.
      I love that your mom does that too. 🙂
      That meme cracked me up! I had to share. 🙂
      I knew you would know. 😉
      XOXO

    LOL that image with the two ladies talking about how the diet killed the dinosaurs is incredible! Also, I love that segment on Jimmy Fallon, it’s so hilarious!

    1. MrsA0K2001

      September 10, 2016 at 12:13 pm

      I had to share that meme, I was literally laughing out loud when I saw it. 🙂
      Oh Jimmy, he’s a funny one. 🙂

      September 10, 2016 at 12:14 pm

      Sorry, Lowanda. Hey, you have a few more chances to win something coming up in the next few weeks. 🙂
      YAY for TEXAS GIRLS. 🙂

    I’ve always wanted to make pretzels; I bet they came out great. Texas had a great game last week! 🙂 Wow, you have a high schooler, congratulations!

    1. MrsA0K2001

      September 10, 2016 at 12:17 pm

      Oh my gosh homemade pretzels are AHMAZING! And surprisingly pretty simple to make (although I wasn’t the one who made them). We got the recipe from an old Rachel Ray magazine. Maybe I should do a blog post on how to make them… thoughts?

      I cannot believe my daughter is already in high school. Thank you. 🙂
      XOXO

    Ice cream and pie and pretzels sound so good! I’ve been hitting the carbs hard lately, but it’s so hard to say no to yummy things 🙂

    Green Bay Packers!! Well actually that is my favorite team. Can’t wait to find out!

    1. MrsA0K2001

      September 10, 2016 at 12:24 pm

      No. Not Green Bay. Although, I have nothing but respect for Mr. Favre and Aaron Rodgers is my Fantasy Football QB. 🙂
      DALLAS COWBOYS FOREVER! 🙂

      September 10, 2016 at 12:25 pm

      Thank you.
      The homemade pretzels were so good, I’m considering sharing the process here on my blog, thoughts? We got the recipe from an old Rachel Ray magazine. 🙂

    1. MrsA0K2001

      September 10, 2016 at 12:30 pm

      WHOA!! I’m glad you’re kidding.
      The Colts, nice. I cannot say anything bad about them. 🙂

    Peach pie? That is literally one of my favorite pies! Well, I pretty much love peach everything. I load up when we go to Georgia. Haha!

    1. Mrs. AOK

      September 11, 2016 at 1:26 pm

      Oh Georgia peaches! Yum!
      You’d be amazed at how awesome Washington (state) peaches are. I had no idea they would be this good. 🙂
      Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Mrs. AOK

      September 11, 2016 at 1:27 pm

      Well, that’s okay, I’m just happy to have a Texan come to visit. 🙂

    Looks like a great giveaway to kick off the weekend. I don’t have a favorite NFL team.

    Yay for our birthday month!! We also had a rainy, gloomy day on the first day of school around here. I had an indoor playgroup that day at my tiny condo. Let me tell you, five almost 3-year-olds (plus an infant and a toddler) inside a little condo is sheer craziness! 😉

    1. Mrs. AOK

      September 11, 2016 at 1:30 pm

      WOW! You, m’dear, are a rockstar for handling that. 🙂

    These are awesome! I love writing down what I’m thankful for, if not everyday at least every week. It keeps the good vibes flowing and it makes you feel so blessed as well!

    1. Mrs. AOK

      September 11, 2016 at 1:32 pm

      I agree it’s a great way to reflect on things. Although, sometimes, I get a little snarky- eh, it’s all in fun. 🙂
      Wishing you a lovely Sunday.

    1. Mrs. AOK

      September 11, 2016 at 1:34 pm

      YES!! They are a requirement in my house fo’sho. 🙂

    I admit i can’t live without my carbs. I tried once and failed I became grumpy and irrated. I need carbs.

    Happy birthday month!!! I’m a September baby too. ☺
    Speaking of carbs, I’ve gone crazy with sugar lately. Since I no longer have my birthday as an excuse it’s time to cut way back on my sugar consumption.
