It’s been too long!

I realized tonight that I haven’t blogged in 10 days!  What have I been up to?  Fighting frogs, keeping track of the upcoming fall season premieres on TV and cleaning out my DVR so I have enough room to record my new shows.  There was a lot of new shows starting this season. Up All Night, The New Girl, Two Broke Girls, Unforgettable and The Ringer, just to name a few that have been on this week so far.  Was a little disappointed with the new sitcoms that started up.  I think Up All Night with Will Arnett and Christina Applegate will get better.  The Ringer actually kept my interest already on episode 2 this week.  I just taped Unforgettable, another crime scene drama, I hope it’s good.  I’m sad that Bones doesn’t start till 11/3!!!  November will be a good month for me with Breaking Dawn releasing too! Of the new shows I’ve watch so far this week, The Ringer gets my top pick.  Staring Sarah Michelle Gellar (who is not the best actress), she plays two sisters.  One is a recovering addict (Bridget) and the other a NY Socialite.  In the first episode the recovering addict is about to go on trial as a witness to a murder and is in protective custody but instead she escapes to NY to see her sister who she hasn’t seen in 6 years.  That same day her sister disappears and it seems she committed suicide.  Then Bridget (the one that was supposed to testify) takes her sisters place and pretends to be her but uncovers that her sister had a lot of secrets and not such a great life after all.  Not sure how long they can keep this plot line interesting but I’m hooked for now. 

I’ve also been on a Blending Binge!  I don’t own a real blender but I have this single serve blender.  I bought it at a garage sale for $1 a couple years ago and I’m finally using it.  I’ve been making Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies almost each night. Probably not the best for my calories for the day.  BUT IT’S SOOO GOOD!  I had all these frozen bananas in my freezer (a little habit I picked up from my mom) that I didn’t know what to do with.  If you want to make one it’s delish! or BAAANAAANAAs as Rachel Zoe would say.  Can you tell I started watching her show? Anyways I’m addicted.  I have 2 banana’s left and now I want to make another one right now!  I think it’s best I use up the bananas so I can kick this habit. 

This is not the most exact recipe I just eyeball most of the ingredients.
about 2 TBSP Peanut Butter
4 or 5 ice cubes
1/2 cup milk or a little more
2 1/2 TBSP Sugar
1 Banana
add Hershey’s syrup to make it even better (something I’ve been wanting to try)

 

I’ve been keeping track of my gas mileage.  I got great mpg one day - 31 mpg on average!  Wish I could maintain that.  I’m on average anywhere from 23 to 30 these days, which is way better than my Land Rover that was 16 – 19mpg. 
Been looking at fall shoe styles.  Can’t decide what I think about these.  Maybe a little to tomboyish for me? 

My parents came in town for the week.  We went to our favorite Thai restaurant one night and each got a dessert.  I got Thai donuts and my dad got tempura cheesecake. 
My mom had a fancy fried coconut ice cream dessert. 
 
So that’s what I’ve been up to.  I’ll try to do better with my blogging.  I have been getting better with Pinning on Pinterest.  If you aren’t following me yet click on the Pinterest button on my blog and start following!
