I visited Lupe Pintos and picked up Libby’s pumpkin pie schtuff in a can. I’m not the only one – they got 50 cases in two weeks ago and have already sold 16 cases. I, myself, purchased just two cans; one can for this month and one that will save for either Christmas or sometime before March 2012. I also picked up one graham cracker pie crust and a box of original stove top stuffing. I’m going to make ‘green rice’ (family thing of broccoli, cheddar and rice) for my veg and will probably just cook up a couple of turkey breasts some new way and call it good because with all that I’ll be eating Thanksgiving for at least 3 or 4 meals. Can’t wait!

(nearly ashes now) My walking shoes are completely shot (from the inside – too many miles on them) so today I made a necessary purchase: a pair of “Mizuno Wave Alchemy 8” running shoes(on SALE!).

Details:
• supportive, superbly cushioned running shoe for the moderate to severe overpronator.
• SmoothRide Engineered, Composite Double Fan Wave provides the perfect blend of control and cushioning while providing an unsurpassed ride.
• Outsole and midsole platform are engineered with SmoothRide technology which minimises changes in velocity to give the smoothest ride possible.
• Lightweight responsive midsole compound with good durability.
• Shock-absorbing cushioning compound found in the heel.
• Enhanced Fit Technology that works with your foot to provide the
optimum fit throughout the gait cycle.
• Full-length midsole ventilation system reduces heat and humidity
build-up inside the shoe.
• Provides the utmost in breathability and comfort of the upper.
• The most durable carbon rubber that allows for longer wear in high
impact areas and supplements traction at heel strike.
• SmoothRide Engineered, combination solid rubber/blown rubber forefoot outsole design for cushioning, durability and flexibility.
• Removable Anatomically Moulded AP sockliner.

I am a woman, so it is in my DNA to collect lots of pretty things, and scented candles, and pretty scented candles. The problem is they are often so pretty or so stupidly expensive that they end up sitting there unused and collecting dust.

Tonight I felt like lighting candles and as I was digging through the sideboard looking for those cheap IKEA votives I came across my pretty sandlewood scented candles.

They’ve been burning for about four hours now and my flat smells heavenly.
