It's the weekend... are you surviving?

So - hope everyone has had a great week.  🙂   We definitely have had fall!!  And now, it's Friday!!!  Time to relax a little and enjoy the day.  You probably have all sorts of chores outlined for the weekend...stuff to do before it rains again, before winter, all that homeowner stuff that we grownups have to deal with, right?

Sigh.

Well...  here's some old time songs that might make you feel young again... and help the day go nicer.  🙂  maybe even make you dance a little...

I also haven't watched a lot of these old MTV videos... those were the days.  Do you remember when MTV was the new cool way of seeing your favorite musical groups when you couldn't go to concerts??  The viedos were so much fun...  Billy Joel had lots of fun ones.

Billy Joel - Keeping the Faith (Official Video) In 1983, Billy Joel released his album An Innocent Man, an album that traces Joel's musical history through his teenage years in the late '50s and early '60s... youtu.be

Huey Lewis was in with the mix too...  He had some fun videos - this is one that we like:

I tell ya, you start to go down the rabit hole of the wonderful 80s videos and you can find all sorts of crazy stuff you'd totally forgotten about!!  Anyone remember DeBarge?

So - to finish up,

It's National Doughnut Day!  Always one of the favorites.  And to keep it on the healthy side (which I'm trying to do right now) you can bake those doughnuts or air fry them.  We usually do the baked variety, but I'm thinking now that we have an air fryer we'll have to try that.  Has anyone done that?  Let me know...

Here's one I found that I haven't tried yet...  https://www.emmafontanella.com/50-calorie-donuts

Low Calorie Donuts Recipe - 50 Calories Donuts Method. In a bowl combine the egg, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and whip until the mixture triples in volume, lightens in color and forms ribbons. www.emmafontanella.com

anyway - have an awesome weekend!!!

 

Happy Friday... still alive, lol

 I've been so crazy busy, that I've neglected you!  I'm so sorry.  Have you missed me?  :)   I don't have a lot of time today either, but I thought I'd say hi and mention a few fun things...

first - it's been raining!!  We had lightning last night that was crazy!  and the fall colors have been absolutely gorgeous!  I thought it would be sad...I thought they would all just die with the drought being what it is, but nope.  The leaves have been really gorgeous.  If I get a chance, I'll share some photos here.

National Family Bowling Day (or Kids Bowl Free Day) - apparently this is every second Friday of September, but I never remember hearing it when my kids were young enough to take advantage!  We loved bowling as a family...though it's always a competition as to who can out bowl my hubby...  no one ever does.  🙂

National Pierogy Day - we love pierogies at our house!!  Especially the potato and cheese stuffed ones.  Which ones do you like??

National Salmon Day-  If I weren't focused on pierogy I would definitely want salmon.  Such choices!!

World Egg Day - I guess this is to encourage everyone to enjoy the egg...  I like eggs - deviled eggs, scrambled eggs...  🙂

World Octopus Day - octopus are pretty cool...  there are giant ones, baby ones and real tricky ones.  Here's a video of one they have doing an escape route...  You've heard of the one getting out of his cage, right?  I guess they're pretty smart!

Ever hear of Fluffernutter sandwiches??  It's also National Fluffernutter day...  I had no idea what these were until today.  It's a peanut butter sandwich with bananas and marshmallow creme.  Not sure I like the sound of that creation...but there ya go.

Have a great day and weekend!  🙂
