Forboding

My attitude stinks lately. I blame it on Fall. I know, I know... FALL. The wonderful season that so many of you are so obsessed with. Leaves and pumpkins and costumes and crisp apples and all that jazz. It's all grand. But I am having a hard time appreciating it this year. I feel like summer was just too short (Maybe that's because I had a baby in the middle of it). And Winter is coming too fast. And Fall represents the ending of my favorite season (summer duh) and the inevitable arrival of my least favorite season (winter duh). It's like when you can feel a pimple brewing under your skin and you know its only a matter of time until it will display itself on the end of your nose for the whole world to witness (wow my metaphors stink).

Moral of the story... I need an attitude makeover (and maybe a regular makeover... girls night anyone?) . So this week I am planning on turning things around. Live in the moment... cherish the seasons that God gives us. Here's my plan.

Step 1:  Buy some stuff. Pumpkins, Costumes, a few decorations (b/c I have NONE for fall)
Step 2: Take some pictures. I am thinking fall photo shoot time. Kids with pumpkins, apples, costumes, brightly colored leaves... the whole 9 yards. Anyone want to volunteer their kiddos?
Step 3: Bake things. I love baking with apples in the fall. It reminds me of childhood trips to the orchard. A Pie, a crisp, some pumpkin bread. YUM! My house will smell divine! (which is better than the dirty diaper aroma that it now has)
Step 4: Dress in layers. One of the best things about Fall is that you can just dress in layers and get away with not wearing a coat yet. And layers can be way cute, let me tell you.

So farewell bad attitude. Fall is here and Winter is a comin'. There aint nothin' you can do about it. So enjoy what you got while you got it. (I talk good).
