Hey guys and gals! Sorry for no post last night…
By the time I got home around 8pm, I still hadn’t eaten dinner and I was just in need of some “me” time. No computers allowed.
So I changed into my cozies, grabbed the dinner I didn’t get a chance to eat at work (a roasted red pepper-marinated grilled chicken breast, some of Jay’s leftover rice, and lettuce)
cuddled up on the couch with my boys, and watched my DVR’d episode of American Horror Story. Ok, now that I’ve mentioned it, I’ve gotta know if anyone else out there is watching this crazy show???
Jay and I still aren’t totally sold on it, yet we’re totally hooked because there’s so much going on and still so much that hasn’t been told. It’s creepy…hence, the reason I love it, and the reason Jay sits on the couch asking why in the world we have to watch it. I told him I’m just gearing him up for tonight’s main event. Mwahahaha.
Speaking of which…I think I found myself a movie snack for ourselves tonight. Check THESE babies out:
I had heard rumors on Twitter last week, but I finally ended up finding these White Chocolate Candy Corn M&M’s at Wal-Mart yesterday and can’t wait to try ‘em. (Yes, I bought ‘em yesterday and haven’t opened the bag yet – I’m impressed with my restraint.) Apparently I’m totally digging the candy corns lately? 
*****
This morning I woke up and quickly decided to take a rest day. I am definitely feeling the effects of yesterday’s BodyPump class today, so I figured it was a good opportunity for a few extra ZZZ’s and some extra time to sit and indulge in breakfast.
I whipped up a batch of pumpkin buckwheat which ended up getting added to a leftover peanut butter jar that I totally kept forgetting we had.
Topped off with a little Love Grown Foods granola, and I was good to go.
Also pretty darn good was this morning’s coffee. When I picked up that bag of M&M’s yesterday evening, I also picked up a fresh, new bag of coffee.
Ohhh yes. It’s quite fantastic.
I’m really hoping that today goes by fast because I can.not.wait for tonight’s movie. Woop!
P.S. – Make sure to stay tuned this afternoon for a fun Fashion Friday post.
Questions for the Morning:
What’s your favorite…
- Flavor M&M? (pretzel for me)
- Scary movie? (tough one…I might have to say the first Paranormal Activity?)
- Halloween candy? (100 Grand)
- Coffee flavor? (probably pumpkin spice or Jamaican Me Crazy)

Yum! Those M&Ms look fantastic, and I don’t even really LIKE candy corn. You will have to let us all know how they are (althought I suspect I already know the answer). Have fun tonight!

Oh, I’ve been wanting to try that coffee. I’ll have to check it out. And also, I’m really into AHS. It’s just the right amount of creepy to keep my on the edge of my seat and biting my nails.

I wanted to add this to my DVR list but I can’t get it to stay under 90% full – I just can’t get caught up on my fall TV!

Flavor M&M? Good ole plain
Scary movie? I don’t think I have one – I’m not a big fan
Halloween candy? Milky Way
Coffee flavor? Starbucks Decaf – I can only have decaf, and this one never disappoints me.

Those M&M’s look divine. My favorite M&M’s would be peanut butter, favorite Scary movie’s are any of the Saw’s… Halloween Candy–anything chocolate, haha… Coffee flavor–Pumpkin or Blueberry!
Steph @ StephSnacks recently posted..Dodgeball
Favorite M&M flavor: It’s a tie between Peanut M&Ms and Peanut Butter M&Ms. Obviously I love all things peanuts!
Favorite scary movie: Mr. Brooks. This is more of a thriller, because I’m not as into “horror” movies, but it was still scary to me!
Favorite Halloween candy: Reese’s PB Cups for sure!
Favorite coffee flavor: Pumpkin Spice or Cinnamon.
Ashley @ My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries recently posted..Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Protein Pizookie
I didn’t know you could buy Pumpkin Spice DD coffee! So far this fall, I have tried the pumpkin flavors in Keurig, and at Wawa and DD. I would want to try the DD brewed coffee because I wasn’t a huge fan of the pumpkin syrup they used in the store. My favorite Halloween candy is 3 Musketeers, and my favorite coffee at the moment is pumpkin spice from Wawa.
Pamela recently posted..See One, Do One, Teach One
I love pretzel M&Ms! I used to love the crispy M&Ms but I don’t think they make them anymore
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine recently posted..Apple Crumb (YUM) Pie
The crispy m&m’s used to be my favorite, too! I’m so glad they came out with the pretzel since it’s somewhat similar
Those m&m’s look amazing! I’m stopping at Target after work today and I hope they have them there!!!
My fave halloweeen candy is reese’s peanut butter cups and my fave coffee is Pumpkin Spice from Wawa.

American Horror Story is not good with guiness before bed. You may almost wet yourself.
Cat @Breakfast to Bed recently posted..Slaying the Basilisk
Okay, I need to pick up some pumpkin spice coffee. That looks too deelish.
Flavor M&M? I love pretzel, but I recently tried coconut and it’s really good!
Scary movie? I’m not sure!
Halloween candy? Lollipops
Coffee flavor? Any flavor
pretzel m and m’s are definitely my favorite too!
Chelcie of Chelcie’s Food Files recently posted..Apple Pie and Carrot Cake..but oatmeal versions of course:)
How awesome are those M&Ms?! I saw them and instantly worked them into my lecture for my sales class today
With a massive picture in my powerpoint…..
Me time is always a definite must, so hopefully you feel a bit recharged!
Flavor M&M? Dark or Mint
Scary movie? They all creep me out…
Halloween candy? Kit Kats! I never buy these, so I love snagging the mini ones.
Coffee flavor? I love the Mudslide flavor for the Keurig; it has just a hint of chocolate
Lena @Fit on the Rocks recently posted..I Scream for Ice Cream
Mudslide sounds incredible!
I’ve only watched the first episode of American Horror Story and I was definitely intrigued. Then I went over to ew.com and read the recap by Doc Jensen (who did really excellent, explanatory recaps of LOST) and got even more hooked on the show. I have the 2nd and 3rd episode DVR’d and am waiting to watch them during the daytime, because I was so freaked out by watching the first one just before bed!
I think I like Almond M&M’s best, but the pretzel are a close 2nd. Scary movies aren’t really my thing, but I will watch them, usually around Halloween, to get in the mood. Reese’s PB Cups are my fave, and my go-to coffee flavors are vanilla or hazelnut.
Now YOU’VE got me even more hooked!
Those candy corn M&Ms sound awesome!
I love pretzel M&Ms too! And the peanut butter ones!

I made buckwheat this morning with chia seeds – it always looks so yummy on your blog
I mixed in honey and cinnamon: yum!!!
Kim @ The Family Practice recently posted..Incentivize
I never tried adding honey…yum!
I totally understand the need of “me time”. Some days, posting just doesn’t happen just for that reason.
Those candy corn M&Ms look awesome!! I haven’t seen them yet..but I’ll keep my eyes peeled!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss recently posted..I’m a Ninja!
Pretzel MM’s, Raisnettes, Iced Coffee and no horror movies! I won’t sleep for weeks!
Ps- Courtney do you miss hearing this? “It’s not difficult, it’s just stinkin’ FUN!

OH MY GOSH!! Hilarious!! Good ‘ol Chris Freytag in her kickboxing workout – I know exactly what you’re talking about!
And no, I don’t miss it…yet…but I’ll probably try to incorporate it next week sometime because it’s a great workout!
GAH! I just had the DD pumpkin coffee this morning and it was PHENOMENAL. However, I did NOT have any candy corn M&M’s so I’m relying on you to save me some
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance recently posted..Giveaway Winner & Intro to Kiwi
Thought of your pumpkin dedication when I was debating buying Planters’ Pumpkin Spice almonds at Target and let me tell you, they are SOOO good, maybe not so pumpkiny, but they taste like the awesome cinnamon roasted almonds you can get at festivals! They’re relatively low in sugar for such a sweet treat (5g/svg) and could be a good snack for your long days – try them out! Bonus: amazing tailgate snack!
Oh my gosh, I SAW THOSE at the store the other day but didn’t want to spend the money on the huge container of them. I’m glad to know they’re that good! I’m thinking about attempting to re-create them at home…hopefully it’ll be cheaper
haha i passed them 3 times before i just put them in the cart and when i got in the check-out line, 2 other people asked if they were good, so apparently we’re all too curious to waste $6! totally worth it though. my husband is obsessed with them too
*cautious – too cautious, not curious. clearly i need a snack
I like mini M&Ms the best, for some reason they taste better to me!
I am not a fan of any scary movies – major wimp here
Mini Oh Henry chocolate bars
I like plain Kicking Horse coffee brand or Starbucks
Lindsey recently posted..Foodie Friday
Flavor M&M: Peanut
Scary Movie: Insidious (A must-see!)
Halloween Candy: Crunch
Coffee Flavor: pumpkin spice
Wow do those M&M’s look good! Although oddly enough for this sweet tooth monster I don’t like candy corns (I know the shocker!
), but I bet I’d like those, especially since it has white chocolate! 
Flavor M&M? Definitely peanut or almond
Scary movie? Paranormal Activity for me too…I was jumpy hours after the movie ended!
Halloween candy? Kit Kat!
Coffee flavor?
Shayla @ The Good Life recently posted..Live In The Moment
Oops Coffee flavor – I actually don’t buy flavored coffees, but I do love my creamers and I just bought a pumpkin pecan flavor!
Shayla @ The Good Life recently posted..Live In The Moment
Oooo yum!! Who makes that one?!?
It’s Lucerne brand! I’ve only seen that brand at our chain grocery store Safeway so not sure if yours carries it…however I did see Coffeemate has their Pumpkin Spice flavor in stock!
Shayla @ The Good Life recently posted..Live In The Moment
Have you seen The Strangers??
SO scary!
As for M&M’s, I’m with you, I love the pretzel ones. I can’t believe they didn’t come up with that sooner.
Brandy @ Let’s Grab a Coffee recently posted..Even I Didn’t See This Coming
OMG YES – I totally forgot about that one. That definitely takes the #1 spot for me…SO creepy! That movie actually still has weird effects on me – when I was watching it, I totally found myself me and Jay in the shoes of the characters and it totally freaked me out. Ahhhhh, just thinking about it creeps me out…
Peanut M&Ms. I will eat an entire bag. And my favorite Halloween candy are Twix! Coffee – I am a big fan of pumpkin spice, but peppermint mocha isn’t far behind.
Cait @ Cait hates Cake recently posted..Eating and Mind Reading
I’m a huge Twix fan myself!
Flavor M&M? : pretzel!
Scary movie? Saw movies
Halloween candy? 3 musketeers
Coffee flavor? anything bold.
The M&M’s look awesome … you’ll have to tell us how they taste!! And I totally stole your nail idea.
I got a manicure today, and I chose a grey color. Mine is a lighter grey, but I definitely got the idea from you haha. So thanks! 
Kristen @ notsodomesticated recently posted..Mom’s Beef and Vegetable Soup
My favorite M&M’s are definitely the peanut ones frozen! I’m not a huge scary movie fan. For Halloween candy, I really like too many kinds! lol. It really depends on my mood but any of the chocolate candy bars are good! Lately, I really like pumpkin coffee also.
M&M: peanut!
Scary movie: none! I don’t like scary movies AT ALL (I’m a huge wimp!)
Halloween candy: hmmm . . . that’s a toughie. I like Twix & Butterfinger the best, I think
Coffee: anything with coconut! yummy!
I haven’t watch American Horror Story yet, but I can handle creepy better than scary, so I might check it out. I’ve heard good things!
Melissa recently posted..Seasonal
mm coffee flavor – caramel!

* Flavor M&M? (pretzel for me)
* Scary movie? (tough one…I might have to say the first Paranormal Activity?)
* Halloween candy? (100 Grand)
* Coffee flavor? (probably pumpkin spice or Jamaican Me Crazy)
Favorite M&M probably peanut butter, or almond!
Scary movie, polturegeist! such a classic
Halloween candy either reeses or snickers
Coffee flavor vanilla spice
I’ve been seeing lots of previews/commercials for “American Horror Story” but haven’t seen it yet. I might try to catch up on an episode or two to see if it’s worth it.
As for my favorites…
*Flavor M&M: Peanut all the way!
* Scary movie? INSIDIOUS. If you want to see a scary movie that will totally freak you out, watch this one!
* Halloween candy? Candy corn & pumpkins
* Coffee flavor? Not a huge coffee fan. If I have it, it has to be something “fancy” from Starbucks – pumkin spice latte or something like that

Totally understood about wanting to get into your jammies and have a night off the comp. When I get home from the gym and get showered and cozy, it’s so hard for me to turn on my computer, but it’s also the only time that I have a chance to upload my photos since I work full-time during the day and work out in the late afternoon. But once I get my blog work done the feeling of watching TV while eating a fab dinner is so great!
Fave M&M: PB!
Scary Movie: I’m gonna say Hocus Pocus even though it’s not scary!
Halloween candy: TWIX
Coffee Flavor: Toasted butternut.

I’m glad you’re the kind of blogger who can recognize when you need a night off…and you’re totally okay doing it! You don’t ever need to explain why…you come first
I must buy some candy corn soon….I’m seeing it everywhere and am getting an intense craving right about now.
Anna Crouch recently posted..My (un)Official Rules For Running
We’ve been watching American Horror Story as well, and while it’s creepy and totally weird, I think we’re pretty much hooked! Too far into the show now to quit watching
Oh, and I also cannot WAIT for Paranormal Activity. I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks and am actually just killing time until we leave for it shortly
I bought that coffee too, but wasn’t impressed. Do you add anything to it?
I usually add a packet of Truvia and skim milk or a splash of creamer to all of my coffees. I didn’t add anything to the grounds though, if that’s what you mean?
Favorite M&M flavor? Milk chocolate.
Scary movie? They’re too scary for me.
Halloween candy? either Hershey’s or Reese’s PB cups
Coffee? I don’t drink coffee.
