Its time once again for my favorite holiday of the year...well its not a "holiday"...but it should be. HALLOWEEN!!!
I love it!
I used to think it was the candy that made Halloween so great, then I grew up ( and out) and realized that ADULT Halloween it sooooo much better than the kids get it!
Of course there is the classics. Like everyone has to watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown special, and seeing the kiddies dressed up in their cute costumes it always a treat. Unfortunately in my neighborhood I stopped giving out candy 2 years ago because not only does my house get eggd every year by the little bastards, but 99% of them don't even bother to dress up!
OK, poor, sure, put a sheet over your head....of course in my hood that could be considered dressing up like the KKK!!
In any case, the worst is the crack head ADULTS that come to the door insisting that they are getting candy for their kid at home who is sick. Whatever!
I'm fortunate in that this year Halloween is on a Saturday so I can actually go out. When it rolls back to the week days I'm not sure what I'll do...that's 2 years form now. Maybe by then I'll live in a neighborhood where I can go back to decorating my front porch and giving out candy. I hope so.
Usually the night would be spent ( if going out) at Trackside, but since that marvelous hole in the wall has burned down as as yet never been rebuilt, Twains is apparently the place to be.
I hope we have a blast! I'm really looking forward to it and lets face it, I need a good night out.
Ahhhh Halloween!!
The one night of the year you can dress slutty and no one cares..in fact, its encouraged!
SO lets all have a great one and start the fall out right!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN CHARLIE BROWN!!

Fall
Wow, its October. Where does the time go?
Last night I got up when I was about to go to sleep to put an extra blanket on the bed. Yep, its fall.
Fall is a great time of year in Georgia. Even though as a rule I'm not a huge fan of this city, the weather really is pretty nice overall.
So here's whats been going on....
In a nut shell: Football season has been great! Alabama has won every game so far and looks like a real fighting team this year. My weekends have been spent either preparing for, watching, or recovering from football Saturdays. We've spent a few games at Nancy & Shelleys house, one at my parents house, and last weekend was a party at my house.
It was a beautiful day. We set up the TV on the deck and had turkey chili that I made the night before. Everyone was cheering, laughing drinking and eating.
Even though there were a few people missing that I would have loved to have seen there, overall it was a great day. Really could not have asked for better weather or company.
The job seems to be rolling along too. Honestly nothing positive or particularly negative to report, and I'm thinking that's just the way this job is going to be. I'm glad and blessed to have it though so no complaints.
Socially Ive just been, well unsocial...wait, that's not entirely true I mean I do see people every Saturday for the games so I guess I'm actually more social than I have been in a while. It just doesn't necessarily feel that way if I'm just going over to peoples houses and not "out".
This weekend is an out of town one for the folks and we have the option of going up for the weekend. I was really pulling for one last pool day but it doesn't look like its in the cards. We've actually only had one since we've come back from the beach, which is unusual. Oh we swam at night the one time I was up there for football, but theres been only one last day of sunshine and laying out. I do miss that.
Its funny, I love the fall. The change of season, the leaves falling off the trees, and the cool weather coming in, but I miss summer. I never used to be a summer person but in the last few years Ive come to really enjoy it in spite of the fact that I am usually forced indoors in social situations due to the fact that I wear so many "foundation garments", and am usually roasting in any kind of heat. No shorts either in public. So what do I miss?
Well for one thing I really miss the pool days.
I love going to my parents house.Its private, and I can let it all hang out there. The sun feels great and I love swimming!
I look forward to opening pool day for months, and the season, although usually longer than most people have in Atlanta, is never long enough.
On the other hand, the fall is a great time too. Its as if we get a special gift for having to say goodbye to summer. I mean even if your not a football fan theres all kinds of things that go on from now until January.
Old man winter...January...
That's the time when I REALLY start to miss summer. Nothing to do, crappy weather and no holidays.
So lets not go there just yet!
Anyhooo, things are good. I'm happy and just trotting along it seems. Still working out in the morning, and working Saturdays in to the picture. I'm so glad Ive been keeping up with this routine, and a couple of weeks ago I got confirmation that it has not gone unnoticed.
I was out at Thinking Man, and more than one person that I have as friends on my Facebook page came up to me and congratulated me on getting up and hitting the treadmill at 4AM every morning.
It really made me feel great. There is still no great weight loss happening, and although I really want there to be I'm totally satisfied with myself at the moment.
These changes Ive been making over the past 6 months have definitely been slow, but I feel like because of that slowness they are here to stay, and that makes them worth waiting for.
So life rolls into fall and with it I hope my good fortune and great life continue drama free and with the glass very much half full. :)
