Friday, September 23

hello, autumn

Today is the first day of Autumn, my favorite season.  I love the chill in the air and seeing the leaves change colors, brillante reds, oranges and yellows.   I live for wearing comfy jeans, a cozy sweater and scarf.  I crave comfort foods - hot chocolate, hot apple cider, banana bread, french onion soup, mac and cheese, chili, and roasted sweet potatoes.  Not all in one setting, but maybe in a single weekend. 

My Saturday afternoons, and the occasional Saturday evenings, are spent watching football.  I watch the first and second quarters, then enjoy a half time nap and wake up ready to cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame.  The perfect Sunday includes relaxing on the couch with a good book or movie, curled up under an afghan and eventually falling asleep with the cats nearby.  Yes, another afternoon nap.  If only I had a fireplace, it would be heavenly and I'd probably never leave my home. 

It's also time to set goals to accomplish this season.  Here's hoping that I'm more successful this season, seeing as I only truly crossed off three items from my summer list. 
  1. Yoga - two or three times a week
  2. Sewing class at the Needle Shop - alterations
  3. Work towards goal of 20 pushups
  4. Visit the Baha'i Temple - 100 Linden Ave, Wilmette
  5. Work on sewing projects (pinterest)
  6. Dance classes - contemporary, hip hop
  7. Take a jewelry class
  8. Self defense class
  9. Thrifting!
  10. Refinish bedroom chest
