Fall? Autumn? Hello?

Posted Wednesday, October 10, 2007 3:52 PM

So…after the 90 degree weather last week, I think Fall is finally here.  No higher than in the 50’s this weekend!  Wish it wouldn’t be such a drastic change.  But, it was a little too hot last weekend sitting and working at the Mars Apple Festival – I was dying I was so miserable and hot and my weekend wasn’t really a weekend with working Sat.  (And for me to say it was too hot is a big deal because I just loathe snow and cold and dreary…but man, sitting in the direct sun and heat for all day was just more than I could handle!) 

 

DH spent the entire day installing a new garbage disposal, but he finally got it in and the switch is on the wall near the back of the kitchen sink instead of under the sink in the cabinet.  So…all is well with garbage disposal-ing!  He’s such a handyman at times! 

 

DH and I had a fun evening last night.  The drive to the new Chinese restaurant for dinner was filled with back and forth joking-arguing (jokug-ing?).  Stopped at red light I had to laugh and tell him we sounded like an old married couple!  But it WAS all joking and it was funny.  Maybe you had to be there…

 

Anyone else noticing that there is absolutely nothing on tv in the evenings?  We ended up settling on me reading a book which I can’t wait to get through because it’s very slow and drawn out, but I have to finish it because I’m strange like that and DH watching the military channel or the history channel or something along those lines.  All I know is that the shows he enjoys make my eyelids heavy and I was sound asleep nice and early (the book may have contributed to the zzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s too). 

 

And thus, another work day, another day closer to the weekend.  It’s homecoming so we’ll be doing all the fun girly stuff with my daughter (shopping, hair appointment, nails, etc.).  Well, I’ll be doing that – I’m sure DH will come up with something more manly to do and maybe finally, the mud room will be pushed to the front of the project list.  My goal is to have it completed by the time winter is here so that snowy shoes and book bags and coats are there instead of in the kitchen.  So…if the weather wants to hold off on Fall for a little longer – I guess I’m okay with it!

I would love a more subtle change in temperature too.  Damn global warming :)!

On Sunday it was 94 degrees where I live in Ohio, and on Monday, 65 degrees.  Today it's downright freezing.  It gets warmer with ease in the spring, so what's the deal with instant fall?

Love the picture - are you shivering in your bikini?  lol  It is sooooo freezing today (I think the high will be 54 when it was just 90something!) that I believe I'll have to kick up the heat.  I HATE that.  A/C not only a few days ago and sandals and now?!  Boots and sweater.  It just makes me want to hibernate until the sun shines again!

My husband calls me Mittens. I adore my husband, girls (19 & 16), our dapple doxie, Niski and spending time with family. I love the D&R board - you can usually find me there. It's a good thing I love D&R since we bought an old farmhouse last year that needs a complete cosmetic makeover. I love decorating & rearrange the furniture every time I clean. Yes, nearly once a week! I also love all things pink & girly. I'm an entrepreneur (wanna-be supermodel, actress, writer and princess - but my wanna-be status changes frequently). I love to blog. :)
