A mixture of yesterday and today in the Park

Good morning, friends.  I may be disappointing some people today because I am not going to blog about the remainder of my science project (aka grad school).  Why, you may ask?  Well, because I really felt inspired to talk about Autumn today.  

This is why I feel inspired to blog about Autumn today. 

It was glorious this morning.  The doggies were all full of piss and vinegar because it is finally cool.  Autumn is my favorite time of year - I enjoy every minute of it.  It reminds me of when I was a kid and I was finally getting to go back to school, see my friends, go to Staples with Mom & Dad and get new pencils and notebooks and stuff of that nature, see my class list, get my locker, and watch football games (I don't even really like football but I think because it's a corollary to Fall, I enjoy it).  It reminds me of the anticipation for what will certainly be a great year.  There are so many things to look forward to in a new year!

These are the other things that I like about Fall:
1.  Temperature
2.  Leaves changing color
3.  Leaves becoming crunchy
4.  Dark in the morning (I know - it's insane that I like this, but it makes me feel more special when I wake up).
5. HALLOWEEN - I fu*king LOVE to dress up in costume.  I LOVE to drink alcohol out of skeleton covered cups you get from CVS.  I LOVE to eat a disgusting amount of miniature snickers and milky way's.
6.  Pumpkin flavored things that you put in your coffee.  (Only way to make Starbucks palatable is to douse it with pumpkin-flavor).
7.  Boots
8.  Thanksgiving - Should be interesting.  Will be my first Thanksgiving in awhile as a vegetarian.
9.  Running in the cool weather and not feeling like I'm going to keel over at any minute.
10.  Parties - it's always better when you're not sweating.
11.  Anticipation of X-mas
12.  Tea - who wants to drink this wonderful beverage when it's hot as hell out?
13.  My half marathon!  - Happens on Oct. 14th and I've been training for a month now. 
14.  Figuring out what my ACE (qualifier) topic will be.  It feels like a long road ahead in terms of this project, but I know if I'm patient and continue to work at it, I'll have something good figured out by December. 
15.  Football.  - What the...?  I don't even know.  I don't watch it except for now and again, but somehow I like it.  I JUST DO!

*Anyone have anything to addddd?????

 I'd also like to thank you all for your nice comments about my science blog.  I've gotten a lot of positive feedback (he.he. that's a science pun), from you all about it.  I'm going to finish it in the next day or two so you'll get the last piece and the wrap-up.  

Have a great day!
