Miscellaney Monday

Good morning, friends!

The start of another week is upon us. A busy week for me! I have my final, championship soccer game tonight {undefeated I might add} and Billy's Dad and Uncle are coming in town for a visit on Thursday.  After this weekend, I have so much on my mind that I decided to share my thoughts via Misc. Monday! I don't know about you, but lists make me feel organized even when I may not be.





Here we go.

#1. The CBS documentary that was on last night for 9/11: 10 years later. This documentary was so informative and eye opening. Did anyone catch it? My emotions were all over the place. The part that hit me the most was this: people are still losing their lives 10 yrs later from complications of 9/11. They mentioned 2 men {firefighters} who have recently passed away from being diagnosed with certain blood diseases and cancers...their doctors believe this was a direct result from all the toxins breathed in from 9/11. I find it unreal that the EPA back then said "not to worry" about the air quality. I can only imagine all the toxins and gases they breathed in that day. So, so sad.

Before watching this, I went with my parents last night to my high school where they had a 9/11 tribute. They had 3,000 flags on the practice football field in honor of every victim. Not only that-they had bagpiper tributes and bell ringings every hour. Here are some pictures I took.

#2. Speaking of emotions-Billy ended up having to fly to Philly yesterday for work. On my way to the aiport, it suddenly hit me he was traveling on 9/11 and I was a wreck. His flight was supposed to leave at 6pm but they ended up sitting on the plane until 8:30pm before taking off. I felt so bad for him. I was going crazy! I just wanted him to get there already. He made it safely, finally around 10:15pm.  He will be back tonight and I'm so thankful because I couldn't sleep AT ALL last night..I tossed and turned every hour.

#3. It was a great weekend for my football teams! OSU came out with a win over Toledo (even though it was close) and my Bengals battled our other Ohio NFL team, The Browns, and won!

I love football season! Here are the pictures I neglected from you last week from tailgaiting...

you may recognize the sassafras with me {above} from here...

We didn't end up tailgaiting this weekend because we had a charity walk for my stepsisters work in the morning and we wanted to just relax after. How cute are these little ones?

#4. I cooked/baked more than normal this past weekend. On Saturday for the game, I made an apple {or for any fruit} dip that my Mom used to make all the time. It was so nice to make it on her birthday..I loved keeping the tradition alive. I also made a spicy vegetarian chili and Billy was in charge of a cheese dip....we had a nice little spread for during the game!

I also made a peach cobbler on Sunday for the Bengals vs. Browns game. My best friend Lindsay came over to watch it and we scarfed it down!

*I will post the recipes for both this week. Pinterest doesn't seem to be working right now so I can't pull them up!



#5.  If you saw my post on Saturday, I'm now on Twitter. Conclusion? #somewhataddicted. Just sayin'.....

*find me on there, if you haven't already! @katiewkrysh

#6. I would like it to cool off again here so I can wear this new scarf I got that I loveee..only $11 from F21. You should go buy it.

Unfortunately, that's all I've got for today.

I may have to break my coffee only on Friday's rule today.

I'm what they call D-R-A-G-G-I-N-G.

What were your weekend plans?! Do you need relaxing weekends once in a while like I do?
