Random Ramblings: Sports, Spilled Fruit, Bob Ross, New Blog Schedule + Updates.

• I’m really starting to get into sports.
Specifically football. On Sundays/Mondays, I’m usually glued to the tube watching the Bears play, with Hubby. That game yesterday…I almost felt sorry for the Carolina Panthers! Almost. Okay, I did. They played very well almost the entire game, only to lose it in the very last seconds. Those “Good as Gould” Robbie Gould field goals…they’ll get you every time though.
I also caught a nice amount of the the World Series. The Giants were awesome but, I really hoped Detroit could rally back for the win! Either way, I just love seeing player reaction, in that moment, when they’ve just won it all. The smiles. Hugs. Tears. It’s all so sweet! But. At the same time, I can’t help but feel sorry for the other team. This is with any sport really. But, baseball!!! It’s such a slow game, with a long season. To come that far, and not win…it must feel something worse than disappointing.

• “Speaking” of disappointment…so is dropping a sweet piece of grapefruit on the floor, after you’ve spent minutes carefully peeling it.

• I love that Google has Bob Ross featured today!
Husband & I occasionally watch The Joy of Painting, on lazy Saturday mornings. Ross really makes painting look easy! Plus, he manages to crack us up while simultaneously soothing us back to sleep. How does he do that?!

• What’s this about a new blogging schedule?
Well…maybe you have noticed that MM updates have been coming slower than normal lately. While I usually try to logon & update several times throughout the week, it’s just getting harder to do. I’m currently working on a few new, but equally-exciting projects! No worries. I’m still a very, very, very faithful Blogger! In fact, most of the projects are MM-related! I just need to become better organized, especially with time management.
Hey! If you’re a very, very, (shall I add another “very”?) faithful MM reader, firstly, Thank You! Secondly, here’s the new MM Update Schedule for the next month:
Today.
Thursday, November 1
Monday, November 5
Friday, November 9
Tuesday, November 13
Saturday, November 17
Wednesday, November 21
Sunday, November 25
Thursday, November 29
If this works out well (which I really hope it will), I’ll post a December schedule, at the end of November.

• Please stay tuned.
Over the next two months, I have some great stuff coming up!
New recipes (Homemade Granola is up next! Promise.)!
More Fall & Winter style posts!
Nifty tips!
New nail polish!
Skincare…I’ve tried quite a few drugstore products that I’ll probably round up & review. After almost giving up the search, I’ve found two products that are currently working awesomely on my fickle skin.
I also wrote a couple of posts on marriage. I know some of you have expressed interest in reading my thoughts on married life & relationships. I’m willing to share some of what I’ve learned. I know a nice amount of you are married too, or soon-to-be. Please feel free to comment & share on these posts! They won’t get too personal. Just some general ideas.
What else?…Giveaways! I’m hoping to have at least one before the end of the year.
Oh! I still have photos to upload & deets to share from the 2012 Chicago Marathon.
And, two restaurant review/recommendations!

WHEW!

Are you with me?
I’m glad.
