Pushing Fall

Have you noticed how fast we are to push that it's the fall season? Or is it perhaps heavier focused in a climate where the temps persist in the 90-100's throught October. Whatever it may be, I am so ready for fall and here are a few reason I know why.....

1) When I left the house last weekend to do some shopping it was 88 degrees out, and I said "Well, it's under 90. I guess that means jeans and fall clothes." Was I a hot sweaty mess while trumping through the beating hot parking lot of Target? Yes. But I had cute skinny jeans and a cute scarf to accompany.

2) I have actually found the website that tells you "When Pumpkin Spice Coffeemate Creamer is coming near you". You type in your zip code, and it tells you which grocery stores carries it. Unfortunately, it's still not at my local grocery markets. I started checking in August.

3) I have "Cinnamon Spice Pumpkin" hand soap in the bathrooms of my home from kitchen. And the Wall flowers. Our bedroom smells like Apple Crisp. Our Powder room smells like Pumpkin Pie. It's only September 14.

4) Last Monday I made chili in the crockpot. It was like 105 degrees. But it was September - great day for chili.

This is only the beginning of my deep love for fall. I associate so many great memories with this time of year. I remember raking leaves on crisp fall days back in North Dakota. That won't happen here in Tucson - unless I'm raking bogenvilla or cactus thorns?!

 I loved coming indoors from being out in the cool fall air to the smell of my Mom's Apple Crisp.....I believe that is what heaven smells like ;)

We moved into this house during the fall -- and I have so many fun memories of us painting and fixing up the house, and then enjoying the cool fall evenings with the windows open.

I love that first outdoor run, where one must put on a stocking cap and a long sleeve until the sun warms the world up. The air is so crisp and fresh in your lungs!

What is your favorite things about fall? Have you ever tried Pumpkin Spice Creamer -- if not, I highly suggest you try. I drink way more coffee during this time of the year because of that stuff.

I actually have not tried pumpkin spice creamer! I will have to try it as I love PSLs!! :) I love fall, too, and I am so bummed that I have been too sick to really enjoy the fall-like weather we've had recently. It's been 55 in the morning this week, which feels absolutely glorious when I am biking to work. I love so many things about fall - leaves turning, the smell in the air, PSLs, fall races, Julia Child Night, and Thanksgiving!!

38I love early fall, too, but do not like the season that follows! The only good thing about that season is that we don't have to mow lawn! But I do love the pumpkin spice creamer you mentioned and the foods of fall, namely squash, soups, stews and apple recipes, to name a few!

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

Winter Storm hits the desert?!

Happy New Years Eve to all. I hope everyone is able to celebrate with family, friends, or loved ones tonight! And -- I hope everyone has a safe evening!! Be careful out there! We are finally experiencing some "weather" here in Tucson. I use "quotation marks"...because this "weather" the Tucsonan's are FLIPPING OUT over is just a "chilly October Day" in North Dakota (where I came from) Yesterday morning...I was getting off work. I could hear the wind blowing, and the rain falling throughout the night. There were moments where...I kind of want to crawl into one of the hospital beds and take a snooze. When 7:30 am rolled around, I was very anxious to go home after 3 nights on. I was ready to BOLT out the door.... ...when I was stopped by an oncoming shift coworker, who stated, "Abby, maybe you should stick around until the weather clears up. It's pretty bad out there...." FEeling concerned, I asked, "Really? Are th...

St. Anthony, Where are you??!!??

So. Let's talk about my day so far. And why I suck at being organized. Do any of you know these people who always have it together? They never lose ANYTHING. They have a spare set of every important document, item possible. Every document has a file, every item has a place, every place has a label. They are always collected, have every duck is in the row. They live in perfection. This description is my husband: Ryan. My second question: Do you know anyone who's life is an absolute train wreck? They are always running in circles. They cannot be responsible for an important item if their life depended on it, because the strangest things happen to them. They never seem to be at the right place, or never seem to be on time. They cell phone often ends up in the refrigerator. There is always a giant debacle occurring. This description is me: Abby. Well this morning two people of this nature got to mingle a little. Well, they happen to be husband and wife--so they have to mingle withi...
