Second Chances

I would like to take a moment to flashback to my post on September 19th.

This post made reference to some blogging tips by Pioneer Woman.  Allow me to quote her second tip:

APPLE PIZZA
Cover a pizza pan with a pie crust.
Slice apples and arrange around pizza pan in one layer.

Pumpkin Dip

I haven't been blogging much lately, because I have been baking a lot and "helping" Tim with some home improvement projects.

Since the weather had turned a little cooler, I started craving comfort food like a crazy lady.  Comfort to me usually involves butter and sugar.  I made caramel apple sticky buns, chocolate chip cookie sweet rolls, a huge pan of pumpkin bars (with cream cheese frosting, of course), and an apple pizza.  In a half-hearted effort to protect my waistline, most of this food has been sent to work with Tim-- after I do quite a bit of sampling.

Blog and IE8

Some of you may have noticed some issues with this blog if you're using Internet Explorer 8.  It seems that there are a lot of widespread issues with IE8 and sites in general, and I have no idea if there is even a way to fix it.  I already have the template set to force to Compatibility Mode, and that doesn't work.  I'll keep working on it, but you might want to look into downloading a browser such as Firefox or Chrome.  I prefer Chrome because of its speed and process handling, but that's just my 2 cents.  Hopefully I can dig around a little more and fix some template issues, otherwise you IE8 users will see a black header picture!

In the meantime, bear with me if you load the blog and things look a little messy.

UPDATE:  I changed the template, and it does load cleaner in IE8 now.  However, it still looks a little different and doesn't look quite as good as Chrome.  I think that's as good as it's getting.

Road Trip

Spur of the moment probably means something different to others than what it means to me.

What a Guy

You may notice that my blog is looking a little bit different.  I figured it was time for a fresh look.

I wanted a collage of pictures for the top, so Tim took it upon himself to make one for me.  Is that a quality guy or what?
