Happy Fall

I have been in such a Fall mood lately. If there is one thing I love about Fall it's pumpkin everything...drink, food, deserts, decorations.
Every month we have a Goody day at work which is just where everyone brings a dish and we eat all day. With it now being fall I had to make something pumpkin so I turned to pinterest and found a dessert.
It's a pumpkin dip that turned out to be a hit! I got the recipe from here.....http://northcarolinacharm.blogspot.com/

This lady made it and put it in a carved pumpkin which looked really cute but I did not get the crafy with mine.

What you need:
15 oz can of pumpkin
5oz box of instant vanilla pudding
16oz container of cool whip
1/2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tbsp cinnamon

Mix all the powders together. Then add your pumpkin and cool whip.
Chill for an hour and serve with vanilla wafers, apple slices, or whatever your heart desires.

It's really good!
Other things I love about fall....

It's a Car obsession you wouldn't understand

For any of you who know my dad, you know how much of a wheeler and dealer he is. I have had more cars at the age of 23 than most people have their lifetime.

Well it's coming to the time to get a new car because mine is getting close to 150,000 miles and we sell cars before they hit 150,000 in the Miller household.

The only thing is I now live on my own so I don't have my dad to call me to the computer to tell me about a car he found for me. I have to do most of it on my own this time.

What I'm also realizing is that the saying "More money, More problems" is VERY true. Being the saver that I am and not having any student loans to pay off (Thanks parents!!) I have a decent amount of money saved up to purchase a car. The bad part, that gives me more options which means more decisions on choosing the right car for me. Ahhhh it's stressful.

Let's take a look back on all the cars that I have because somehow I seem to remember them all except the years of the cars. That was way to much to keep up with.

1) Black Nissan Altima
2) Black Ford Escort zx2
3) Red Ford Escort zx2
4) Silver Nissan Altima
5) Chrysler Sebring
6) Cream Nissan Altima
7) Cream Nissan Altima
8) Silver Honda Civic
9) Red Honda Accord
10) Black Honda Accord
11) White Toyota Rav4
12) Tan Toyota Rav4
13) White Jeep
14) White 2002 Toyota Rav4 - Current Vehicle

Yes, that is 14 cars in 7 years. Blame my dad, he has a problem. I wish I would have taken a picture with all my cars. That would make an interesting scrap book to look back on.

I'm thinking I might go back to more of the sports type of car because I'm still young and can get away with it. Plus it's just me so I don't have to worry about it being 4 door or anything. It also has to be a 4 cylindar because I drive way too much and gas prices would eat me alive if it didn't get good gas mileage.
So if you have any suggestions, let me know. Until then I'll try to pick up some of my dads car shopping habits and let you know what I end up with.
