[Chirp]

Is it too early to talk about the weekend? Newp.

Any big plans you're looking forward to? I'm in PA, so fall = apples. There's a gigantic apple festival in Arendtsville that we're going to next weekend. We go every year. The traffic is horrendous, but I used to live down there, so I skip the main drag and go through the orchard roads to get to the fairgrounds. We're intentionally parking in a far field so DS can ride a school bus. He loves school busses. He's going to be so freaking excited.

What are some of your favorite things about fall? cooler weather, very low humidity, fall skies here are pretty awesome, fall thunderstorms, the pretty colors, basically everything. I hate summer. Fall is my favorite season.

Seen any good movies lately? Nothing new. I finally watched the 1996 version of Les Mis. I can't see how Liam Neeson as Jean Valjean and Geoffrey Rush as Javert can be beat. But I do want to see the new one. I have a feeling Anne Hathaway will be a much better Fantine that Uma.

What are you reading lately? Would you recommend it? I'm re-reading Sense and Sensability. I think lots of people would recommend it.

What color are your fingernails? Natural (no polish). But my hands are cold, so my nails are purpley-pink right now. It's normal for me. Cold hands=purple nails.

Any Halloween plans? Trick-or-treating for the first time with DS.

If you have kiddos, what are they planning to be for Halloween? He's going to be a garbage man. I emailed our trash collection company to ask if they have shirts for sale, and they sent me a free t-shirt and hat for his costume.

How many bras are in your current rotation? 4

If you could have the day off tomorrow, how would you spend it? What would you do? Clean the house quick, then go shopping. We're getting a new bed and mattresses next weekend. I already ordered a new quilt, but I have to pick up new sheets and mattress covers. Then I'd take myself out for lunch then head home and do nothing.

[margarita]

Is it too early to talk about the weekend? Any big plans you're looking forward to? My crazy H bought two whole turkeys at the store because they were on sale. Two. One is in the downstairs freezer, and the other we are planning on making this weekend. We're doing an early Thanksgiving dinner because it's fall and we just feel like it. It's weird, but whatever. I'm looking forward to it. Other than that, probably some cleaning and hopefully lots of time outside.

What are some of your favorite things about fall? Everything. The reasonably warm afternoons but crisp and cool mornings and nights, the smell of the season (those falling leaves), the beautiful fall colors, tea, cider, dark beers and red wine (which we usually don't feel like partaking in as much in the summer), the food, fireplaces, the fall fairs, Thanksgiving, Halloween, etc

Seen any good movies lately? Tell me about them. The Butler is a pretty awesome movie. We saw that at the theatre not too long ago. We also watched Celeste and Jesse Forever the other night and it was...well, not so good. lol

What are you reading lately? Would you recommend it? I'm reading Rob Lowe's autobiography right now. I'm not sure if that's a confession or not, but it's actually pretty good! I needed a light read as a distraction for a while, and I'm almost done with it. It's actually pretty interesting.

What color are your fingernails? Nude, baby.

Any Halloween plans? Shelling out candy to the kids.

If you have kiddos, what are they planning to be for Halloween? N/A

How many bras are in your current rotation? About five, I think.

What are some of your favorite things about fall? Fuck fall. I'm sick of everyone talking about how much they loooooove fall. Phoooey.

What are you reading lately? Would you recommend it? Nada.

What color are your fingernails? Naked.

Any Halloween plans? Maybe taking A to a few houses around the neighborhood, then passing out candy.

If you have kiddos, what are they planning to be for Halloween? A is going to be a cupcake!

How many bras are in your current rotation? 2-3. Still rocking a stupid nursing bra for a few more days. Then that number will go to like 10. ALL the bras! Or whatever fits.

If you could have the day off tomorrow, how would you spend it? What would you do? Get a pedi, Starbucks and do some shopping. Then go home and work on a few projects.

What are some of your favorite things about fall? I'm not a huge fan of fall, but I love the transition from Summer into Fall.  The colors, the bite in the air, but it's still sunny.  Once fall hits in true form around here, the skies turn gray and the rains start.

There is a place here that only serves grilled cheese and soup. They have a bunch of different sandwich choices and I could eat there everyday.
