Here I am! This past weekend, Rich and I continued our week old donut quest tradition and went to Gourdoughs! A shiny silver airstream of Big. Fat. Donuts. I think we have met our match. Rich got the Naughty & Nice donut which is sugar and cinnamon. I got the Bring the Heath with cream cheese icing and heath bar bits. Made fresh and served warm – puts Krispy Kreme to shame. We are trying not to make it a daily habit. Tempting because it is on the way to the office. Lucky for us, my parents are coming to visit this weekend and they simply must experience this yummyness one morning. As for following weekend, hmmm…maybe it will be National Donut Day and as patriotic observers we will have no choice but to indulge in another donut.

We also carved our pumpkins! Well first I should say that we bought pumpkins! At Randalls, my new favorite grocery store which is another experience that I had to share and made Rich come grocery shopping with me – everyone is just so genuinely friendly and helpful! Our pumpkins were buy one get one free and hearty as can be. Rich cut off the tops to scoop and then we made baked our pumpkin seeds and then we got to work. Here are our masterpieces:

Rich made a longhorn and I made a bird which looks more like a turkey with a disappearing beak because my hands got tired from cutting.

P.S. Our apartment has no 13th floor. No button in the elevator. Just skips it like a pebble.

P.P.S. That Fuccillo sidekick, Tom – he is down here in Austin too, doing ads, selling cars…I had no idea he was such a commodity. It’s like ya can take the boy out of Grand Island, but…hehe

P.P.P.S. Yesterday, we watched an entire episode of the Doctors dedicated to clearing up myths about the swine flu vaccine and giving all the reasons why it is better to get it than get sick and then today, we see this:

Needless to say, I walked in on Rich Lysol-ing the apartment when we got home. No germs in our house!
