Fall is here....

I'm grateful to be in a place that experiences real seasons. I know Texas is experiencing Fall weather as well this week and I'm grateful for that; however, I took it upon myself to check out the weekly forecast for Wichita and, my real home, North Texas. It turns out we're remaining a good 10+ degrees cooler here in KS. For that, I am happy. Moving on...

So this evening, I had to take a quick trip to Dillon's (aka Kroger) to pick up a few things. When I stepped out of the car, my first thought was...crap, I need to buy some jeans. My second thought, as I walked into the store, was THANK YOU FALL! The smell was almost overwhelming. I could smell apple cider and something cinnamon-y baking in the bakery. It was nice. I LOVE FALL!!!

Who can't say they love it? Oh wait, I know one person I used to work with who probably wishes it was still 102 degrees outside. Haha. You can't win 'em all.

Aside from Fall itself, I must admit I was a failure at something this week. I had fully intended on participating in a Fall Wreath Party contest on a friend's blog. I did not follow through, I came close but only ended up buying 1 thing (incidentally a really nice fall decoration already, which was to be deconstructed and reconstructed onto a wreath). So, I admit it, I failed. HOWEVER, the holiday season is coming upon us soon and I hope to redeem myself...*wink* *wink*....*nudge* *nudge*. Haha.

Oh shoot! I missed this post in my little inbox thingy --hope you didn't think my lack of response meant I was upset with you for not getting your a** in gear for the wreath party. wink wink..Its okay and you are not a failiure...pleanty of opportunities to redeem yourself. Yeah..I am going to make a fool of myself doing the CHristmas stuff. It is going to start The first full week of OCt. and go every week leading up to CHristmas!!!so get ready. Not all of it will be craft stuff so you won't have to be traumatized at the stores anymore.

Glad you are having cool weather. I will let you rub it in since you are living in Kansas. lol.
