first day of fall!

hello, deanna. haha you are the only person who reads my blog!!

so this morning i made pumpkin pudding in honor of the first day of fall.

pumpkin pudding

ingredients
1 large package vanilla pudding
2 1/2 cups milk (or the amount required to make the pudding)
1- 8 oz container cool whip
1- 15 oz can of pure pumpkin
pumpkin pie spice (optional)

directions
mix it all together! it would be best to mix the pudding mix and milk first, so that you get all the lumps out, then with a wooden spoon mix the rest in. if you use "light", "sugar free", or "fat free" for any of these ingredients, you will decrease the calories quite a bit. so that's another reason this recipe rocks.

tonight amanda is coming over and we are going to have a fall festival with pumpkin pudding and chili. yummmy! maybe we can watch biggest loser, also.

so i decided to be a cupcake for halloween!

i got opaque grey footless tights (because i couldn't find the silver metallic leggings i'd seen at target and made fun of before) to act as the cupcake paper. i will wear shorts on top of them, just in case my topping comes up and shows too much throughout the night.

then for the top of the cupcake, i got an off-white twin fitted sheet and cut a hole in the middle for my head. because twin sheets are much longer than they are wide, i'll have to pin or sew the front and back up inside it self to make it more even. this idea was perfect, though, because it sort of balloons out at the bottom like icing would! then i'll need to decorate that part like a cupcake with ribbon and something to act as sprinkles.

well for the top of the cupcake, i was going to try to find a red beret, but first of all, hats are at least 15 dollars and i'll never wear it again. plus i couldn't find a red one anyway! so then i thought about using a dark pink loofah or a pink wig or wrapping a pink feather boa around my neck (i just wanted the boa- it had nothing to do with a cupcake). but then i decided to just look for a fake cherry. well i found a whole box of them that you might put in a vase or something! so i got those and a headband and hot glued two of the cherries on the headband. the box of cherries was still more than i wanted to spend, but we can put them in a vase as a decoration and actually use them again. so anyway, i am really excited about being a cupcake for halloween!!

when i finish the costume, i'll take a picture. alright it is time for me to continue my day off!
