The girls had the day off from school, so we spent the morning listening to Christmas music and baking cinnamon rolls. (The kind that come in a can.) Because I’m one of those annoying jerks who always announces what they’re doing on Facebook, I soon learned that my friend Mitzi was also baking cinnamon rolls. These cinnamon rolls. As soon as she shared that link, my synapses began to fire differently, and now I can’t stop thinking about pumpkin cinnamon rolls.
The girls and I had lunch with my parents, and when we left the restaurant, our car was one bag of dried apricots heavier than it was when we had left the house. My life is a good one.
I got my hair cut. It’s a little too short, but that means I can probably get through Christmas without having to drop more money on a haircut. I win.
Oh. I bought this for you.
It’s name is Ugly Irisless Rubber Neon-Nipple Devil Baby and it wants to swallow your soul.

Oh dear goodness — I am going to have haunted dreams to night, that’s for sure! The recipe looks delicious, but I have to admit she lost me at “yeast”. I know, I know…it’s “easy” (not!) I’m better off not knowing how those things taste anyway (sigh) How about maybe just sprinkling some pumpkin pie spices over the ones from the can and see what happens?

Aaaaack. I can’t unsee that now. Horrifying.
Otherwise sounds like a lovely day.

Creepy! The title caught my husbands attention. Can’t wait to try the pumpkin cinnamon rolls.

I lurve pumpkin cinnamon rolls. Sometimes I grate an apple or smear applesauce in with the filling–you can cut back some on the butter that way and extra super autumnal.

I like the random green paint suggesting a hint of gangrene. This is what my baby would look like if I ever decided to have one. Lucky for everyone that I opted against that.

One day I would like to make the cinnamon rolls I saw on the Pioneer Woman’s site. And anything dried is fantastic. My personal favorite peaches. Apples come close though. Do you have a fruit dehydrator? I heard it can be done in the oven as well.

I need to do some Halloween decoration shopping this weekend… since I have a house and hopefully will have trick or treaters.
