October



One, two, three, FOUR rubber duckies and I come to you live from the bubbly-bathtubby. The lights are dim, an autumn candle is burning away on the counter releasing sweet smells of pumpkin apple, and the lovely Crosby, Sinatra, Astaire, Kelly,  and other oldies sensations are tuned in with the help from Pandora. With a tall drink of ice water nearby, and hair on top of my head to stay cool, I feel completely relaxed and in the writing mood. ...Finally.

So it's been awhile. Where've I been? Basking in every moment of Fall that time will allot me. Rolling fog, cider, leaves of every color dancing to the ground, crisp chilly air, boys sweatshirts and blankets to snuggle, dark starry night drives ...I mean, wouldn't you be a little distracted too?

I've always wondered what it would be like to walk through a door into a different season. Imagine all your Summer loving coming to a close, and the thought of school starting again depresses you. ...When you walk through this magical door that takes you to a cabin already decorated for Christmas, with snow falling outside, beautiful lights and Winter smells, and fire logs crackling as your favorite holiday music rings! Cool huh? Well. I get to do that! ...Kinda. In a week I will be well on my way to the land down under where it is very much NOT Autumn, but Summer! Hot every day, and I'll be a total beach bum. When I get home (hopefully with all my limbs intact) I imagine my tan body will be QUITE cold as I walk through my "magical door" and it's Winter; holidays unravelilng! 

I'm SO excited!
But for now, my body is shriveling up like a raisen, and I need to go to bed.

Sweet dreams,
