I am not going to feel guilty for not blogging throughout the months on August or September because, gosh darn it, I've had better things to do. (Not that I think blogging is a waste of time... because it isn't.)
Aaanyway. It's fall. ...and up until recently I have not been looking forward to this change in season. As I drove up north to see my beau I saw how the trees are already changing. The further north you get, the sooner they want to be red and yellow and orange! Which means, the sooner they are getting ready to be dumped on with snow!!! (EEP!!!)
I normally love fall. I even love winter! and snow!! I think the reason for my bad attitude was because I haven't experienced the events that I am used to seeing accompany the seasons' changes. I have been done with school for more than a year, but last year when fall was starting up I had just finished a great summer at home and I was about to embark on a new journey at my job! When I was young, the Fall was when school started, Winter kicked off with Christmas Break, Spring sprung in with Easter Break, and Summer... well, school's out!! This is the first season since I have finished college that I have had to mentally decide that the season was changing whether I liked it or not, and to embrace it.
I have to admit that reading other people's blogs have helped me overcome my attitude problem. The first time I smiled at the thought of Autumn approaching was when I bought a fall candle from target. Even the smell of the match when it was lit helped. Thanks, Summer, for the inspiration. And then I got the idea to get outside to enjoy the fall when I read Jenny's blog. On Saturday, weather permitting, I will be going to Sever's Corn Maze thanks to her entry about going to the pumpkin patch.
All this being said... I stayed home from work today because I had a fever. Maybe it hasn't been so bad because it's been pouring all day and now it's starting to thunderstorm. Those are the days I just want to be curled up on a couch with a blanket, anyway.
I am off to take some tylenol and wait for my roommate to come home. I miss her.
Happy Fall!
