(I've been having a bit of trouble getting back into the writing habit lately, so I decided to just go with it tonight--just write something and publish, as random as it may be.)
A few random things for this Monday night, free-association style:
It was cold and dreary here today, my favorite kind of early fall weather. I like the chill right now while I'm still excited at every opportunity to pull out a sweater, jeans, or boots. Plus, it was a holiday so the girls and I spent the entire day holed up at home, watching movies, reading books, painting with shaving cream, dancing, and napping. It was glorious!
Related: My favorite affordable item of clothing for fall/winter is a Target cardigan. I wear a cardigan at least 3-4 times a week...I'm sure my coworkers are tired of seeing them, but I just can't help myself. How else can I extend the wearing of my summer tank tops all the way into December?
What is your favorite cold-weather piece of clothing?
I pulled out my favorite ratty, tattered Alabama sweatpants today, and I smiled about it all day long.
One fall trend I do NOT get into is the pumpkin craze. I love the pumpkin patch (dying to take the girls, but I'm not sure it's going to happen this year!), pumpkins and mums on the front porch, and of course, Halloween jack o' lanterns. But pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin spice lattes? No, thanks. Luckily, Jeremy's relatives step in and make sure he is covered with at least a couple of pumpkin pies every fall.
Are you a fan of all things pumpkin?
In very uncharacteristic style, I have already started making plans for Christmas and ordered one of Addison & Mackenzie's gifts. What's happening to me?? I'm just so excited for all that the next couple of months bring; I just can't help myself. I rarely pick up the computer on weekends, but yesterday I happened to check my email and realize that Rosalina was on Zulily. Again, in a quite uncharacteristic move, I clicked over, saw a dress I loved and bought it within thirty seconds. (When I clicked, there were only two left in the girls' size, so I pretty much HAD to buy immediately, you know? And, the two of them together were the same as one regularly-priced dress, so Jeremy was totally on board.) So, Christmas dresses...done.
It seems my five minutes are up (plus a few!) and I have an episode of Revenge waiting patiently on the DVR. Happy Monday evening!
I'm going to have to try to do this, too, to get back into blogging. there's no reason that I shouldn't do this on Tuesdays since B teaches until 9pm!! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy pumpkin, but B hates it. i just want some pie every now and again. all the other stuff is crazy!
:)
You are right! But I can't talk or write anything in 5. I'll do it one day without a pic though ;)
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin. Mmmmm, muffins, real pumpkin as a side, pumpkin on pizza, anything... We don't have pumpkin pie here.
