First Day of Autumn

It's official. I'm so excited for Autumn to be here. (posted this right on time too 12:02am MT)

Hoodies, sweaters, leggings, tights, and accidentally wearing your slippers to work because your feet can't bear to part with how comfortable they are. That actually happened a few times last year.

This is going to be a random post celebrating Autumn.

I want to repost The Halloween Hit List from last year. I made a few adjustments with a little help from my lovely cousin.

halloween 2007

We have a few birthdays during this month and next (including mine) and the next month after that.

halloween 2007 - he's pretty much the perfect Batman with those ears

I might sign up to run a 10k on Thanksgiving day but I might wuse out and only run a 5k or NOT at all.

I've read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow classic story (and watched the tim burton movie already a million times) and have read the classic horror story The Damned Thing by Ambrose Bierce. It was a perfect short read to set the mood for a fall night. I really liked it.

I've been going over some of my halloween posts and I realized I never posted about the years 2007 or 2008. Well I probably didn't post about 2007 because I don't think I was writing this blog back then and it's too late to think too hard about that one so I won't. The two years before 2009 were pretty awesome. In 2008 my mom totally kicked all of our asses with her costume. I just might post it.

Some pics from last year's Halloween.

Don't forget to enter the Giveaway (ends next Tues) if you haven't already. I think next Monday I'll have another cool DIY project to post about an easy costume for those who don't do the dress up thing. I'm def not one of those peeps.
