1. Last night I instagrammed/tweeted a picture of the Pumpkin & Black Bean Chili I had made for dinner.
One of my readers who I met this Spring tweeted that it looked so amazing. I was pretty sure she lived in the same complex as me, so I told her to come on over. Shortly after, I sent her back home with chili, Sriracha, and a few pieces of chocolate. She had never tried Sriracha before and I knew I had to convert her. The chocolate was given for obvious reasons: always eat something sweet after a spicy meal. It’s a rule.
I LOVE MY READERS. You guys are the best.
2. Last Friday when Danielle and I were out, we ran into our friend Will who is just as much of a beet lover as I am. Danielle suggested that we just get married and demanded that Will get on his knees.
Obviously this was a joke, but I’m humored that a) he’s holding his own arm up, b) he’s holding my wrong hand, c) he looks like a Twilight vampire, and c)we are in front of a gay bar. But by far, the funniest part of this whole situation was people’s reactions. 
People take stuff on Facebook so seriously! No one in my family called me -- they’ve either abandoned me or know quite well how peculiar my behavior is.
3. After I ate on Saturday, I boxed up my leftovers before I went out for the night. I left myself a love note.
No, it did not work….for me or Danielle.
4. Last week Groopdealz had a sale for these chunky anchor bracelets for only $7.99. I bought the blue and it’s just as pretty in person.
I found some similar bracelets on Etsy here and here.
5. This is pretty darn accurate. 
6. I was one happy child on this day in 1987.
25 years and 92875298729687 cavities later, I want to wish you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
