Autumn Gaiety

I woke up this morning to a pretty thick fog - up and down the street it encased the homes in it's misty shroud - oh how I love these cool September mornings.

I took the time yesterday to pull out my autumn decor - I LOVE decorating for this season - my living room colors are perfect for the golds and oranges and browns that are beginning to show outside. It feels so warm and snug in here - makes my heart very happy. I also went downstairs to my spare closet and traded in the summer stuff for sweaters, fleece, turtlenecks and jackets. I delight in wearing cardigans and socks after three months of flip-flops and tank tops. Mmmm - it's so snuggly.

I'm much more inspired toward new beginnings this time of year than in January. It just feels like the time for change - with the refreshing change of weather and the start of the new school year. I totally get into a groove, thinking through my priorities, plans, hopes and dreams and plotting my agenda for the next year. I'm invigorated - bright eyed and bushy tailed, if you will!

So, let's celebrate the season together. Tell me what you love about fall. Let's make a comments record, listing your favorite sights, scents, sounds, tastes and textures... you know how I love lists - make one for me and make me happy - please?

    Fall - My Very Favorite Season
    *Piles of pumpkins in front of supermarkets
    *Gorgeous trees ablaze with color
    *Promise of upcoming family holiday gatherings
    *Pumpkin / pecan pie
    *Snug warm nights at home
    *The crunch of leaves underfoot
    *Snuggly warm sweaters to wear
    *A feeling of security

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
