I’m kind of jealous of all you crazies out there who are going to a midnight showing of The Hunger Games.

And I’m really jealous of my friend Merri who is going to a pre-screening tonight at 8 p.m.

Check out her festive nails for the occasion!

Dinner

Dinner tonight hit the spot.

Truth be told, this dinner was born out of a craving for ketchup! I really don’t like ketchup by itself (bleh!) but looove it on burgers and hot dogs. It’s also perhaps my favorite condiment for chicken finger dippin’!

These chicken fingers were healthier than most, as I baked them rather than frying them in oil.

Yum!

Ryan and I both said these were great, but I think my favorite chicken fingers are the ones I make with Italian breadcrumbs. Mmm!

After dinner, Ryan and I took Sadie on an hour-long walk. It’s absolutely beautiful outside right now!

When we arrived home, I dug into one of these little babies…
