Alright y'all, I don't know about you, but I'm getting ready for some fall weather!
I've seen all the stores putting up their Fall merchandise and I have been hearing much football talk!

My bestie came to visit me a couple weeks ago, and we had an awesome time as usual! Nathan was out of town so we had a girls week! I love that she and I still have the best time even when I'm not able to do too much!
We literally binged watched all of Game of Thrones. ALL. OF. IT.
We did try to get out at least once each day to move around, although it was really difficult for me at times. What better way to get out and about than by shopping?
I had never been inside the new Anthropologie store, so we checked it out. The decor was so pretty!
How adorable is this Alice in Wonderland illustration?
Holly's Gourmet Cafe is one of my (new for me) favorite spots to eat! I enjoy the atmosphere and I enjoy the food even more. I had the chicken, pesto, & avocado panini sandwich with a black eyed bean salad as a side.
On one of the days, we ventured downtown to the McClung Museum on the UT campus!
The exhibits we saw included: Dinosaur Discoveries; Ancient Egyptian; Archaeology & the Native Peoples of TN; The Decorative Experience; Geology & Fossil History of Tennessee; Human Origins; Civil War in Knoxville; and Tennessee Fresh-Water Mussels.
We spent about two hours there and were completely fascinated the entire time! Did I mention it was FREE?!?

Riley pretty much thought we were insane...
Luckily, one evening, we were able to go out to Painting with a Twist!
Mine didn't turn out so well....lol!
All in all, we had an awesome time!
:)
I've been attempting to get more into a routine. It's been a tad bit wearisome, but overall, I think I'm making progress.
With Walmart's new grocery pickup, I've been buying much more produce and making healthier meals!
My favorite thrown together salad contains:
Romaine lettuce
Iceberg lettuce
Green Olives
Sweet red onion
Tomato
& Avocado

Breakfast:
Scrambled eggs (1 egg & 2 egg whites)
Asparagus
Tomato
and Avocado
Another option for breakfast:
Homemade Egg Muffins -
Perfect for making and freezing for an easy go-to breakfast!
Ingredients:
Eggs (I used 5)
Sweet Onion
Bell peppers (medley: red, orange, and yellow)
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
I only had 5 eggs left, so I whisked them together in a mixing bowl & added the onion, cheese, and peppers. Add salt and pepper (as much as desired).
Pour mixture into a muffin tin (sprayed with EVOO cooking spray).
I cooked these at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes - it varies, so just keep checking on them till they rise. Make sure they are cooked completely by using the toothpick test!
Each muffin is less than 50 calories! They tasted absolutely scrumptious paired with 1/2 avocado and tomato!
Besides making simple, healthy meals, I have recently immersed myself into jewelry "making." I've been making new jewelry out of old jewelry that I never wear anymore.
For example, I turned this necklace....
...into this bracelet:
It was the most simple project, yet it was a lot of fun and so rewarding having a completed final product!
I have a lot more jewelry ideas and projects that I want to work on!
I HAVE to be outside, so I'll sit on our porch often. I've been entertained by watching the hummingbirds in our back yard:

Question Time:
