I have to decide if I hate colder weather, or merely strongly dislike it.
It IS an excuse to spend my evenings with hot drinks and a good book. But it also makes me want to crawl into bed and lay there in a depressed stupor until spring.
I have to decide if fall makes me extra-tacky, or just tacky enough.
It’s knee socks season!
I have to decide if I like Halloween kitsch, or LOVE Halloween kitsch.
An excuse to play with my food (and steal Kristina’s pepper jack idea), put up fake spiderwebbing, watch kids trick or treating, and wear wacky outfits (aka “costumes”)? This is my holiday season.
I have to decide if I want squash with every meal or just most of my meals.
That pepper jack? Stuffed with butternut squash. The dinner I posted yesterday? Acorn squash. Last night’s dinner? Fried egg and spaghetti squash. I’ll leave the pumpkin for you pumpkin-likers out there, and save the trifecta of tastiness for myself.
I have to decide where to go next with my training.
Never mind, that’s been decided–and I am beyond excited. I’ll keep you in suspense–Look for an update tomorrow.
I have to decide if I want to stay safe, or become independent.
What? Oh, my blog that is. I’m pondering a switch to self-hosting and a real domain name.
What’s your favorite squash?
Are you self-hosted? Thoughts, advice, recommendations?






Mmm gotta love squash and this fun/festive season!
I’m not self hosted… I’m scared!! I know nothing about technology. If you do become self hosted, I’m sure it will go well for you and your blog will look great!
Even though it’s getting colder, I’m glad to see that you’re staying positive and productive!
Ah so many decisions in life!!
Spaghetti Squash is my favorite!!
I like butternut or banana squash best. And I’m coveting your egg.
Sooooo excited about your training. I’m looking forward to the official announcement tomorrow. You rock. We were talking about your glutes again yesterday. LOL!
SO excited to hear the news!?!
I love ALL the squash, I really need to make a spaghetti one. nope, never have. GUH. how is that possible?
I LOVE your pepper jack!! weeee!
oh man so many great things for you. squash is like my go to these days especially in the colder weather. probably the only thing i really enjoy about the colder weather to be honest. how creative with that pepper!
I feel the same way about cold. I’m already over it and it’s not even November. I think my favorite squash is butternut, though I am hoping to give spagetti squash a try soon (I still haven’t tried it!)
Love the pepper! I hate winter, the short days, and the cold. I’d totally skip it if I could!
I have to admit that I love cold weather!
We’ve been having the most fabulous weather lately. It cools down to like 40 at night so I can sleep like a rock, but it heats up to 70 during the day. That said, wearing a dress today with flats (and no tights) is still pretty dang chilly.
Love your squash addiction! I need to do more of that.
I’m on the edge of my seat with the training plan!
As for self hosting, it was almost too easy. Some of the hosting sites practically do everything for you. I was surprised.
I love knee socks! I don’t wear them enough.
My biggest advice for self-hosting is to shell out a few bucks to get someone to help you do…there’s SO much technical jargon and let’s just say, I would have either lost my mind or quit blogging if I attempted it on my own
! Excited to hear about your training, Ms. Beast!
I do have some coworkers that specialize in web design/technical stuff…so I could prob pay them to do some work on the side. I just have to decide if I want my coworkers to know about my blog
Feel free to e-mail with any questions you have about the switch over. I did it and it was pretty easy, but sometimes really stupid things go wrong or don’t work for no reason. Generally though if you just do a little research it’s not too bad. I still have to work out getting ads and stuff. I’m super lazy. Do you know CSS at all? I just got a theme and then changed it up a bit, but when I have more time I’ll do something more original.
I used to know CSS/PHP/HTML and all that jazz…it was years ago, but I could probably pick the basics back up. Hopefully. Okay, will get my questions together and shoot you an e-mail soon ;D
Every time I make a new winter squash (well, I should say ‘different’ as I’ve tried them all by now I think) I decide it is my favorite! Kuri, delicate, and spaghetti are my top 3 though.
Until the next one.
I’ve never heard of Kuri squash! But I’m sure I’d love it…time to get shopping!
I’m self hosted so if you need help or advice just email me
I say “just tacky enough!” Good luck with self hosting. I’m all confused about it so haven’t done anything yet. Can’t wait to hear the big announcement!!
I also love to wear knee socks: yours are pretty cool too! It is pretty cold over here too, already – 5°C! I also ove hot soups, a good book, some good old jazz, my cumfy couch & a long warm wollen blanket!
