Ghost stories

So...

Rainy days!

I know it's just the beginning of September and unlike other places, my dreams of fall weather, autumn leaves and rainy days aren't real in Arizona, but a girl can dream, right? It was rainy earlier, if that counts for anything. Anyways, for some reason I am really excited for Halloween this year, I think partly because I hadn't really celebrated it in 6 years or so. I know... sue me. But I also have some kick ass ideas for a costume, and found some confidence hidden in the closet, (Corsets anyone?) so who knows.

Quoth the raven, "Nevermore!"

Aside from that, I am really looking forward to a few things, like the up coming, cooler weather, where I can wear boots and jeans and hoodies. Who am I kidding? I wear jeans year round! But seriously, I love jeans and hoodies and T-shirts! And I love colder weather. And the color ORANGE. And possibly home made apple cider coming soon. So I'm excited. I almost want to spend a weekend up in Flagstaff or Payson or something (anywhere in Northern-ish Arizona) and just be cold. Idk maybe find somewhere with a fireplace and stuff. I also am looking forward to getting my orange "fall" quilt out of my storage bins, and spreading it on my bed. Because it is made of warms!

Candy Corn Candle holders

I also want to decorate everything in orange and browns and reds and golds. And get some cinnamon, apples, and pumpkin smells going. And I want to say that I'll be in my own place by Thanksgiving, but that is wishful thinking. So we'll wait and see, sometimes wishes do come true. Well I am hoping to create my own Thanksgiving memories. Maybe forget the old ones. I will admit this brings a bit of pain to me. The holidays do. There's nothing I can do to change that, and I have to learn to let some ghosts from my past, disappear. All those I would've, should've, could've's that didn't happen, and aren't going to happen need to just get out of my life. I'm a small person, and I'm only willing to carry so much luggage, per se.

Da Bears

Also, I have decided to possibly switch football teams. Why? Also heartache. Maybe it's time I branch out on my own here. As much as I love Troy Polamalu and his sweet skills, I'm now on the hunt. This is kind of a difficult thing for me to do, since I feel so uneducated about all the other teams. Natural reaction when you're a Steelers fan ~> all the other teams suck. So for now I am adopting da Bears. Because, again... I love orange. And they are a respectable team haha. So, we'll see how this one unfolds, feels like it's gonna be a lame football season for me this year. Oh well.

Punkin Patch!!

I have been feeling pretty crafty recently and totally want to do some fun Halloween stuff. Maybe get a hay bale and make a scarecrow for fun. :) And I can't wait to carve a pumpkin (and bake pumpkin seeds). Okay, one of the few activities I have kept up with is going to the pumpkin patch. Vertuccio Farms maybe, for the corn maze and pumpkin pickin's. Hahah so true story: I can't pronounce pumpkin. And I also suck at spelling it. I feel that it should be punkin. No extra "P" in there, or an "M." Hahah think Punk-in. yay for compound words.

Squirrel!!!

But candied apples, hot chocolate, raking leaves (our tree isn't a fun oak tree, it's just an ugly AZ tree) and the occasional ghost story sounds like fun. I can honestly say I am pretty excited for autumn. At least the weather will be decent enough to go on more outdoor activities, like the park and stuff. Pick up some pine cones, you know, fun stuff. So we shall see! I am going to try and make it one of the best falls I've had, and I am going to have to learn to enjoy things. That's where I'm at. So, yeah. I'm glad I got that off my chest. <3
