We were at the horse track again today! It was the last day for the horse racing season here in Lexington. The track is only open in May and October for live horse racing; they simulcast the racing the rest of the year. None of us did well enough to brag, so we won't. :)
I made blueberry muffins for breakfast...mmm, they were like eating birthday cake. Lunch: was McD's, and dinner we finally got into Old Chicago Pizzeria here in town. It opened about 3 months ago, but they always have a 45 min. to 1 hour wait time. The experience was okay, but none of us thought it was worthy of the long wait. I personally didn't really like the crust. However the warm artichoke dip appetizer was really tasty. They served it with a really nice garlic toast, and fresh vegetables.
After hours (JMS in bed and hubby watching football), I was able to do a little shopping. I got a cool spider web table runner with matching place mats on clearance, and the napkin rings that are skeleton bones. It looks really cool in my formal dining room. Did I mention that I got four pumpkins (decent size) and 2 large mums for 13 dollars on Thursday? I was telling my mom about this deal today and the more I talked the more I realized that it was a super good deal. I don't think the guy charging me knew how to do math.
If you haven't read my friend Kim's blog lately....she has links to Dunkin Donuts coupons and Starbucks coupons. You rock!

um, you know there are support groups for ambling addicts like you :) sorry you didn't win big. Your Old Chicago must not be as cool as ours b/c ours is delish (or you don't have good taste in pizza :) We go there almost every Sunday after church. Craig gets the pizza buffet (Joshua and I mooch a little) and I get the grilled chicken ceasar salad. I used to get the chicken fingers once in a while too. I've tried several other things and they've all been good - Craig's parents like it too. Good for you, decorating for fall! I like fall decorations, I'm just too lazy & cheap to do any. You did get agood deal on the pumpkins & mums. I got some huge mums from the Amish last year for $7 each. This year, I got 2 half dead ones from Lowe's for $1 each and planted them (and 40something tulip bulbs), so maybe they'll be pretty next year. Helloooo longest comment ever!
