I can't figure out why women in movies are always breaking the heels on their shoes. I live in heels. I've never broken any. And you'd think they'd have nicer shoes than mine.

On another note...

As fall is in full swing in the beautiful midwest, I find myself feeling very homesick. Again. I love to run around in the crisp weather in jeans and a sweater. To watch the leaves change, fall, and then jump in the big piles. I love Halloween, and miss knowing what my costume will be by June and the latest. Picking and carving pumpins... and roasting the seeds... in 3 different flavors. I love Thanksgiving too. Going out to the hometown bars the night before and seeing all your old high school cronies. I love that the holiday feels so family oriented, but without the stress of xmas. Playing football before dinner and napping after. And I hate when people start the christmas stuff without giving Thanksgiving its due.

Then after Thanksgiving I get to bring home my Christmas dishes (yes, I have xmas dishes... with Holly on them... and I love them!) and start decorating. Then one by one buying gifts and wrapping them up beautifully. There are not many things in the world that are more beautiful than a christmas tree with piles of presents underneath. Especially if the paper is coordinating! And the christmas carols! My mom likes to play Elvis's christmas album. My favorite is the beach boys. But I love them all. Actually I don't think I've ever met a xmas song that I don't like.

Ok... now I'm getting ahead of myself. Happy Autumn everyone!
