Fall Frolicking

(from Pinterest.com)

Don't you just swoon over the aroma of fresh apple pie?

Gaze awe-struck at the golden, rusty, and crimson flaming hues of the trees? 

Tingle with delight over the crisp, sunny days of hayrides, apple-picking, and football games?

From September to November, you'll find my cupboards stuffed with pumpkin goodies, rows of boots lined up by the door, the football gear proudly displayed, the house practically ablaze with spiced candles...

Yep, I love everything about it. 

I attempted this year to take snapshots of all my favorite things of Fall, but realized that's impossible. So here's only a few of the lovely elements of this season:

Big sweaters and boots, leaves crunching under you...

Hot mulled cider from my work place...

 Every fall candle scent imaginable...no it's not overkill... 

Apple-picking at old-fashioned farms...

And for a laugh, here's our pumpkin that somehow decided to collapse on itself, just as we were getting ready to carve it...

Enjoy the last week of this beautiful month! 

A Random Update for Your Enjoyment

In case you’ve had a burning desire to know what’s going on in my life (because I know you have), I wanted to inform you that nothing is new.

So there you go. Don’t be too jealous now.

But okay, there have been some little happenings of the week that I’ll be glad to recount. So hold on to your seats as you read some of the most exhilarating moments of my life.

Found this in a new purse...suspicious quotation marks...

Blonde moment of the week: I was trying to figure out how to tap into our Wifi on my dad’s laptop a few days ago and couldn’t seem to get it to work. So naturally, I typed into Google “How to get Wifi on a Mac."
Yeah, just never mind.

I was told by my ballroom dance instructor that I have a natural talent for salsa dancing. Made me laugh ‘cause I’m probably the farthest thing from a tall, dark, Latino dancer.

While my sister was home from college last weekend, she offered to make me a cup of chai tea. Now normally, I'd turn my nose up at the dark, murky, bitter concoction and have green tea instead, but she assured me of her newly-improved brewer skills and told me I'd love it. Half an hour later, I had to admit she was right. A little bit of cream, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon were the secret ingredients. I sipped a delicious beverage, perfectly sweet and spicy, and just the right temp. Never mind that it looked like mushroom soup with specks of floating coffee grounds.
 And now I'm hooked. Guess she actually is learning some worthwhile stuff at college.

I also learned that you don't know how addicted you are to internet and phone, until your brother accidentally rips the cable out for the landline and internet connection. I felt so isolated from everything, sitting alone in my room, eating candy. Rough life man... but it made me think, just imagine how much stuff I could accomplish if I went unplugged more often.

Well that's all I can think of for now. But I'll be sure to post soon. *Cough* 
(No promises though.)

Enjoy your weekend anyway!
