Some Things Never Change

They just don’t.

My favorite thing to do on Friday nights is to stay in with a few red box movies and my good friend Mon.

Lame? Maybe. Necessary? Very.

Anyway, it’s officially fall up in here and as we start our descent into the doom and gloom of Chicago winter, you know I’m stocking up on one important thing.Argyle socks!

I’m so sexy.

Don’t mind the bra on the floor in the background… perv…

My mild obsession with them is not only fashionable, but functional. Score!

Don’t tell me otherwise.

Even though it’s the weekend and I do what I want, there are still rules to follow. Like how weekend breakfasts should always include pancakes.I missed National Pancake Day this last week. It was tragic and I was devastated. But better late than never, right?

Pancakes are one thing I just use a mix for and add whatever I feel like. This particular batch had pumpkin and chocolate chips. Holla’.

T’was delicious.

Another rule is that, after you have a restful night in, the next night should always be reserved for good times out with friends.

And going to see our favorite Chicagoland band.It never gets old. Neither does staring at their legs…

…what? You’re totally doing it, too.

And neither does staying out on Saturday nights until waaaaaaaay past my bed time. My last text says I was up unti 4:02. No wonder I slept in until 11:00.

Yeah, I KNOW.

Because of the fatigue this produced, I let my crockpot, Cristiano, cook dinner.Aaaahhhhh steak chili. It would have also included onion and whatnot. But that would have required actually getting off my couch. And that, my friends, was not happening.

At one point, a visit to the gym was attempted. I looked at the treadmill and laughed. Retired to the stairmill for 20 minutes and called it a day.

And that was my one shining moment of productivity yesterday. Nevermind the laundry. Or the bathroom that needs to be cleaned.

Oh- at some point, my roommate and I decided on Halloween costumes for this year. So that’s considered productive… right?

Slow Sunday. Some things never change…

Maybe I was saving the little energy I had to cheer on the St. Louis Cardinals while I feasted on chili?

Maybe. Heaven knows I needed it. My Cards have been exhausting to watch. They seem to be a wild card in every sense of the word. My heart can’t take the stress.

But anyway, this weekend proved to be yet another typical weekend in Amyland. I like it that way. Just wish it were a little longer. Because work is not going to be a walk in the park this week. More. Coffee. Please.

Oh and before I leave you, just wanted to say there is still time to sign up for the Blogger Sweet Swap Round 2! If you haven’t yet, let Jess or myself know! It’s Fall-themed and you know you want some comfort food to curl up on the couch with… just sayin’… ;)

  1. Both teams in our series give me heart palpitations. I can’t take the rollercoastering. Maybe you and I will end up as ER roomies when our teams send us into cardiac arrest. ;) Looking forward to the sweet swap!

  2. I didn’t get to do much sports watching this weekend, but it does tend to give me palpitations. Especially when we’re losing to a certain Missouri team until the half…
    Love the socks! HOT!

  3. I made crock pot chili this weekend too. It was awesome.

    I love the socks! My turquoise argyle socks are my favorite ever, and yes, I do wear them to work with heels. I’m fancy.

  4. I think we both used this phrase in our posts today “my heart can’t take the stress”. And no, I went to bed almost immediately after my last text to you, haha.

  5. oh my god, those guys look amazing.

  6. Our weekends sound veryy similar! Are you planning on watching the marathon at all next weekend?

  7. I’m digging the socks and agree that they are fashionable and functional.

    Seeing that crockpot just reminded me that I have pumpkin salsa soup for lunch. Yummmm

  8. Argyle socks… so hot right now. I might have to break mine out soon since I spent yesterday complaining how my toes were frozen and eventually coaxed the husband into starting a fire ;)
    Damn your cards!! It was a sad day for Philly fans in our house last night.

  9. Pretty sure I have those socks…Target?? Love knee socks!!

    I saw you and Rod are now friends on Facebook, that makes me smile.

  12. I felt like I had just completed a triathlon last night after watching that game! Seriously. They’re killing me! But we pulled out a win and that’s all that matters. Rest up so you can be ready for Tuesday! :)

  13. I love the socks…perfect for the chilly 60 degree temps we have in the evenings here. Are you laughing that 60 is chilly for us? This is LA! We’re just not used to it.

  14. Did you get those socks at Target? I swear I almost bought that exact same pair yesterday (but ended up putting them back…….boo)!
    Crockpot meals are the BEST on rainy, gloomy, Sundays. In fact, I think they’re required. :)

  15. Good Lord, the knee socks. I don’t think I realized that you even had this obsession!

  16. My Sunday started off slowly, but then I got busy. It sucked. I need some chill time!

  21. I do the same thing on weekends. I’m lame on Friday nights and awesome on Saturdays.

    PS. Love the socks.

  22. I have a sock fetish. Err, not in a dirty way, but I love socks. I have this awesome pair of knee socks that are white and purple stripes with birds all over them. I need to get me some argyles though. Clearly.

  23. lazy weekends are the BEST! With crazy busy weeks and the weather starting to get crappy sometimes its just nice to lounge around and do a whole lot of nothing! haha

  24. i do love the socks!

    My boyfriend just saw your chili with steak and asked me to make it… I guess hes tired of my vegetarian junk haha

  25. Love the socks! The pancakes look killer too! I hear ya, Sundays just seem they were made for naps these days!

  26. Wait, do you have an addiction to argyle socks or bras? :) I’m in a soup making mood now that fall appears to be here to stay. There’s nothing like it.

  27. [...] Yesterday proved to be much more productive than Sunday. [...]

  28. I sooooo need to start my sock stock up… I’ve only got a few pairs of gym socks left and it’s getting desperate!

  29. Love the socks! And those pancakes look INCREDIBLE!!

  30. The only kind of socks I want are argyle socks. The clashier, the better. I think that’s one of the fun things about being a girl, we can wear crazy socks with no remorse!

  31. I thought I was the only crazy who already started thinking of what to be for Halloween…at least my boyfriend tells me I’m crazy for starting to plan!

    Um, love the argyle socks. Basically love all knee socks!

  32. And oh dang, just saw I’m late for the swap!!! That will teach me to read blogs in a timely fashion!
