Celebrate The Small Things

Friday rolls around again quicker than ever these days and with school having started up again I have a feeling the weeks are just going to get faster and faster.  Friday means it's time once again to celebrate the past week with Scribblings of an Aspiring Author.



My big celebration this week is that today is my co-worker Marion's birthday.  Happy Birthday Marion!  May you celebrate many more.  I could not get through the long deary days without you.

The kids are back to school and so far everyone likes their teachers and hopefully at some point they will stop bringing me home reams of paperwork to fill out.

Also in happy news, I did not give myself a concussion last night when I decided to bash my head open with the door.  I did however get to spend some lovely bonding time with my sister waiting to see the doctor.  Plus I got juice boxes on sale on the way home.  Yay bright side!

This is a blog hop so check out this links below to see what everyone else had to celebrate this week and join us to add in your celebrations.  Have a great weekend!

    Ouch! My son accidentally closed the hatch on the van on my head once, full force (no, that isn't the reason I'm this way...). I felt it all the way to my tailbone; I swear I'm shorter now.

    I like your upbeat and positive comment, in spite of it all!

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
