Don't you just love Fall?
The period of time between Labor Day and Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite. I adore Fall! My nesting instinct kicks into overdrive. Over the weekend I cooked and froze a beef soup full of lots of veggies, chili and a casserole, I polished my silver, and put flannel sheets on our bed. Other things I like about Fall:
Weather-I love the crispness of the air. Goodbye broiling sun. So long horrendous humidity. Hello cool breezes and falling leaves. Now I can exercise outside again without fear of keeling over from heatstroke. I much prefer walking outside to my treadmill but slackers can't be choosers!
Fashion-I love to wear brown. In fact, I'm wearing it today. And I wore it yesterday. I may wear it tomorrow. And if there is a God, the cooler weather will force everyone to put away their damn flip flops. Man I'm tired of girls/women who think that flip flops are perfectable acceptable with any attire and for any occasion. They're not. When I was in D.C. a few weeks ago I even saw a twentysomething guy on the Metro in a beautiful suit and black flip flops. C'mon people! Not every fashion trend needs to be followed blindly by the masses.
Sports-Right now is a sports lover's smorgasbord: there's so much to choose from. Baseball's regular season is winding down, football has three weeks under it's belt and hockey is in its preseason. Over the weekend, the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears and Chicago Blackhawks all played at home. Traffic was a nightmare but who cares?

Yesterday my eating was as close to perfect as I get. Today started out well until I stopped by a co-worker's office. She has a huge basket of mini Tootsie Rolls (love 'em) and caramels on her desk. I grabbed a handful and ate 4 before I even realized what I was doing. Totally unconscious. Didn't even register until I went to throw the wrappers away. Ugh!

Message to my beloved ChiSox. If you wanted your fans out on ledge, we're there. Enough already. I've bitten every nail I have to the quick watching you go from a 15 game lead on August 1st to a 2 game lead today. Last night you dropped a perfectly winnable game against the freakin Tigers! Do you want to win the division? Do you want to get to the postseason? Because you're not playing like it and in fact you're in very real danger of becoming the team who blew the biggest lead ever. Please don't become that team. You'll break my heart.

I feel the same way about fall! I always thought it was the teacher in me ~ the "new year", new beginnings, a new warm coat, crisp air. I love it all! Even Thanksgiving and Halloween are my two favorite holidays!
