How to Squash?

I am in charge of finding a squash recipe for Thanksgiving, and then I have to cook it.  Oddly enough, the cooking is the easy part.  I cannot find a squash recipe for the life of me.  I did find one from the Pioneer Woman that looks a lot like this:

But my mom said that she doesn't want the soupy stuff in the middle.  Personally, I think the soup sounds fabulous.  It's basically butter and brown sugar with a tiny bit of maple syrup.  Does anyone have any ideas of what to make?  Do you make squash for Thanksgiving?  What kind?  I'm thinking acorn, but anything will do.

What to Watch?

I need some help.  I am having movie issues.  Last night Brett and I watched The Benchwarmers, which was pretty much the dumbest movie I've ever seen besides Talladega Nights.  Seriously.  Don't waste an hour and a half of your life on that movie.  It was basically John Heder picking his nose, a bunch of bathroom humor, and a bunch of jokes that didn't even make sense.  And then they all ended up with hot girls.  To make up for it, I will probably watch something awesome tonight, like The Prestige.  I am desperately wishing that Dark Knight was out on DVD right now, but since it's not, I would love some suggestions for a good movie that we can watch.  What's your favorite movie?  What's a great movie that you saw recently?

A few of the better movies that I've seen recently were the old version of The Manchurian Candidate, Lars and the Real Girl, and Wall-E.  The last two were very heartwarming, touching movies, and the first was just great.  It was mostly talk (the one action scene is not so great) but it is pretty suspenseful.  Plus I love old blue eyes.  So help me out and give me some ideas for another great movie to add to my repertoire!

Lack of Motivation

So, I hope that I'm not the only one out there who finds it hard to get motivated.  Between finishing school (by Thanksgiving), a messy house, a baby, errands, and many other things that make my weeks so busy, I often find myself taking time that could be spent being productive turning on the TV or browsing blogs.  Help!  I really need to get over this horrible laziness that seems to have consumed my life.  I had this problem to a certain extent before Kennedy arrived, but now, every time she is asleep I start relaxing.  I do this a little too much because every time I actually start to work she wakes up.  What do you do to juggle your lives and still find the time/motivation to do the things that need to be done?  I would really love some ideas.
