Woohoo! I loved watching the Gilmore Girls back in the day. The series will be available on Netflix starting tomorrow!

Supernatural
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! How is it that I wasted so many years of my t.v. viewing life not watching this show?
I recently ditched satellite (and the emormous bill). Seriously, I was paying over $130 a month to watch t.v. So, anyway, I am doing the Netflix/Hulu thing.
I have been binging on Supernatural like nobody's biz.
Pumpkin Spice Cake
It tastes JUST like pumpkin pie! If you are someone who gets the cold sweats if you try to bake without a precise set of instructions and ingredient list.....this is not the recipe for you.
So threw a few things together, and it actually turned out really well!
I mixed a box of spice cake mix and a small can of pumpkin goo together in a bowl. I added two eggs and a little more flour to get a more cake like consistency. I baked it at 350 F until it looked done. I don't have time to time things. Come on.
Once it was cooled, I slopped a container of whipped vanilla icing on it.
IT WAS SO GOOD.

It's everything is pumpkin time!
Chicken and dumpling casserole
Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to find something that seven people will all like? It's hard. If it were up to my kids, we would have tacos or hamburgers every single day. I was craving chicken and dumplings the other day, but I really wasn't in the "soupy mood". I did some sleuthing on the interwebs and found an intriguing recipe for chicken and dumpling casserole.
Why not? I love casseroles.
I gave it a shot.
Everyone L-O-V-E-D it.
Here is the recipe!

I didn't have sour cream on hand, so I just mixed the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup together for the top layer.
ENJOY!

Saturday Schmaturday.
It's 1:32 pm on a Saturday, and I am thoroughly enjoying my "lazy" day. I've made coffee, fed and watered the chickens, fed and watered the dogs and cats, made sausage, scrambled eggs and hashbrowns for the fam, washed a couple loads of laundry, made tea and kool-aid, baked a coffee cake, loaded the dishwasher, wiped down the table and counters, swept the kitchen floor, took an hour nap, supervised the kids making their own lunch, vacuumed (Is it 2 c's, 2 u's, or 2 m's in that pesky word?), made my bed, and febrezed the furniture. I need to hit a couple spots with the carpet cleaner, but I believe I am done being productive for the day.

Get in my belly!

How come mine never looks like the picture?! I just put this tasty looking treat in the fridge. I shall update after the kids and I inhale it.
Update: The kids weren't impressed. I really wasn't digging it, either. Bummer.
Meet & Greet
This is Jack. Jack is a jerk.
He is the youngest of the feline bunch and one of the meanest cats I have ever met. He sleeps weird too. We hoped that having his manhood taken away would calm him down. Sure, he sleeps more now.....but he is NOT nicer. He is one of those cats who will give you the sweet eyes then rip your flesh open with his claws if you pet him for longer than 3.7 seconds. He terrorizes the older cats. Ugh. His mom was a feral cat who had him and his two sisters on our back deck. We found homes for his sisters but got stuck with this fool. Jack, you are lucky that you are cute.
This is Beans.
AKA: Fatty Beans
He is really, really fat. Seriously, these pics do not accurately represent his lardness. More than one person havs said he is the fattest cat they have ever seen. Beans is 8-years-old, and he is named Beans because he is very, very gassy. He is my stinky buddy and has to be laying practically on top of me at all times.
This is Cookie.
AKA: Crackhead
We refer to her as "Crackhead", because she is paranoid and skittish. She was a kitten in this pic. She is the older sister of Jack. Same mom. Different litter. She is THE world's tiniest full grown cat. I am seriously considering calling the Guinness Book of World Records people. Not really.....but she is really tiny. She won't sit still long enough to get a recent pic....because she's insane. If she had hands, she would be tweaking and peeking out the mini blinds.
This is Peaches.
Aka: Plastic bag licker.

Aka: Plastic bag licker.
Peaches is a bit....quirky. She mostly sleeps under my bed all day. She runs and hides every time the front door opens. Nothing traumatic has ever happened to her, but whatevs. She will ONLY drink out of the bathtub, and she loves to lick plastic bags. Why? I have not a clue. She is pretty and soft, though. That outta count for something, right?
And the odd couple.
Left to right: Pumpkin and Chewy.

Pumpkin was supposed to be my dog, but she decided that my oldest daughter was going to be her person. Fine by me, because Pumpkin is insane. She was rescued from a hoarder, and it did A LOT of damage.
So, I tried again and rescued Chewy.
He was supposed to be my dog too, but he decided my husband was going to be his person. Ironic considering my husband is not an animal person. Yes, I am bitter. My husband loves that little useless dog to pieces, and they are buddies.
