Its the most wonderful time of the year

Now that JW has posted two more times since writing about fall, i feel that I have waited long enough to write about my favorite season and not be accused of "biting" anyone's style. I always loved fall. I'm not a big fan of the showy clothes of summer cause I'm just not into showing the skin (for which I'm sure many are grateful), so when the wind picks up and the morning chill starts, I get happy. Cause i LOVE fall. Think about it. You got nice weather, people who like shorts can still get away with it, but people who like pants can wear those too and be comfy. You got foliage! I'm guessing not everyone knows what that's like, because apparently fall is the largest tourist season of the entire year up here in New England. I don't get travelling when you got it in your own yard, so I'm left with nothing but to believe that not everyone gets to see the wonder of seasonal change that I've grown accustomed to.

There's something pretty and calming about the green leaves turning into reds, oranges and yellows. maybe part of the reason i love it is because those are some of my favorite colors. you know foliage is getting close when you can see your own breath when you leave for work in the morning. So refreshing!

Other great things about fall:

1) the local hooligans on my street are back in school and only terrorizing the neighborhood after school and homework is done
2)people are back from vacations and will contact me about jobs
3)did I mention leaves?
4) Ummmm, are you ready for some football????
5)got some familial birthdays to celebrate as well as a new family anniversary
6)time to break out my favorite pieces of wardrobe: the turtlenecks and sweaters!
7)no more slutty clothes on hoochie girls

PS: bringing animals in stores is not cool. I've been flabbergasted several times over the last few months. I was in line at a grocery store and had to do a double take because there was a lady behind me, with a parakeet on her shoulder. That just doesn't seem sanitary to me. Then i was in Sephora and again tweeked my neck because there were these two bulbous eyes of a Chiuahaha sticking out of a carrying bag on a women's shoulder in front of me. And just a couple of weeks ago, I saw a couple taking their small dog on a walk through the mall. Not only did they have a pet in the mall but it was roaming around and not contained. Same thing happened in another store. Don't get me wrong, I love animals, esp dogs, but give me a break. There's an appropriate place to have them, and unless they're working dogs...stores ain't the place. If you can't be that far away from your pet then stay home cause there are too many people with allergies and waaaaay too much potential for disaster when you bring animals where they don't belong.

Speaking of animals, Samson was given high praise the last time we went in. He was extremely calm...they thought I had brought a new dog. Unfortunately, this mentality backfired against him. He was so calm that his blood pressure fell, meaning they had to stick him four times before they could draw enough blood to run tests. Pobre muchacho
