JuiceSmash!

We decided we want to get more fruits and veggies in our system, so yesterday we bought a juicer from a lady on craigslist for $20. She never used it and the model gets good reviews online so we think we got a good bargain. Today we juiced 4 apples, and then we juiced 6 carrots and a tomato. The apple juice was yummy, but we didn't love the carrot/tomato combo. We're going to consult the web for better proportions and recipes for next time.

The only drawback is the cleanup!

After our juicing adventure, the apartment manager and a random guy came to our door and asked Jon to go outside. The guy was backing out and hit Jon's car (that's two strikes in one week--just by being parked on the street)! Fortunately, the guy was apologetic and cooperative and gave Jon all of his information. We're hoping this will be a smooth process with the insurance company. Jon should be getting a quote for the damage on Friday. Apparently this in an unlucky place to park.

Broken Mirror

Jon has been having to park on the street because the parking lot for our apartment is small--only one car from each apartment is allowed to take a spot. We don't live on a very narrow street, but there are a lot of those around here so you'd think an experienced driver could avoid doing something like this to a parked car:

Mustaches

Yeah, we know...we stink at updating our blog. It's just really hard to get ourselves to write about our boring every day stuff, which usually consists of looking online for jobs, hanging out, eating, watching movies from the library, and keeping warm. It kind of works with the rainy weather though. We haven't been getting out a whole lot because we don't want to spend much money since we are both still not collecting a paycheck. Our biggest adventures involve going to the grocery store and the library. And many of you have told us that it's okay to blog about ordinary, every day stuff, but we sincerely think our current daily routine would bore you. We might start reviewing things we try...like meals or movies. We'll try to do better. Thanks for your patience.

We were invited to meet some people at a mustache-themed party this weekend. Here's how we turned out:

Sarah kept getting homemade cheesecake on her mustache (eating was a difficult task)! We met some interesting people and got to try all sorts of other homemade goodies like pumpkin-curry soup, candied nuts, samosas, rum cake, and chocolate-coconut bars.

Jon plans on wearing his mustache more often.

Autumn

We kind of neglected the Halloween festivities this year and didn't feel like figuring out costumes, which we were totally okay with. Our way of celebrating was getting clearance candy a couple days later. In the end, isn't that cheaper and quicker than making a costume and going trick or treating? The only disappointment was the Airheads. Well, the Airheads themselves were okay, but they included a "super sour gel pack" that came in a little thing that looked like a ketchup packet. They make condiments for your Airheads now? It was neon yellow and it tasted like Pine-Sol. Ew.

After Halloween we realized we missed the changeover to Daylight Savings Time. So for those of you in AZ, we are now one hour earlier than you. Let us know how things are going in the future, we feel so behind...

Here are some autumn pictures we took while the weather was still kind of nice.
