"I wore the time like a dress that year ,The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin.."

That quote is from a song "Pale September" by Fiona Apple...It seems to fit (even though this is November)...Now for some autumn beauty:

Isn't that beautiful? Now look at this one:

Doesn't that make you want to go for a walk? I've been seeing these beautiful autumn colors everyday now, and I LOVE it. I just think of the world as God's beautiful painting and doesn't He have a great sense of color? It's so amazing.

What is also amazing is that Halloween is over and its only what, 3 weeks till Thanksgiving??? This morning at work we were talking about our Christmas party!! My body has not realized how deep into the year we are. It's still trying to adjust from summer being over. Seriously! Time moves too fast for me and I think its starting to move without me. I just cannot fathom, that in one short month, it will be time to put up Christmas decorations. I'm usually super excited about doing that, but as of now...I'm just going to try to enjoy these beauteous colors while they last. :) I love Christmas, don't get me wrong, but I'm going to try to NOT think about it's impending arrival until after Thanksgiving. If I don't, my body may go into shock. That's just how I'm feeling today.

Otherwise..we had a great Halloween night! The kids were as cute as two buttons and they got lots of loot (bad for me, good for them) I have a super sore throat today...but its only sinus stuff, not strep, thank goodness. Hmm...what else...Mrs. V (haha) is gone on vacation this week and I miss her!! But I hope she's having a good time. Oh, in other shocking news, I talked to my brother yesterday!! Amber, I know you're passed out on the floor from this news. The non-existent brother still does exist!!! It has been proven! He knows nothing about his holiday plans, he is still excruciatingly hard to talk to on the phone (I've compared it to pulling alligator's teeth) - not that he's boring or dumb or anything, he just doesn't contribute much to the conversation, you ask questions, he answers in the least amount of words possible-anything to make the conversation shorter! But I'm being too hard on him. To his credit, he did call me back the day after I tried to call him. Success! I just miss him sometimes. We are all so caught up in our lives we don't have time to make time for each other. Anyway!!! Friday is almost upon us again...Yay weekends!! Hope everyone is having a good day. :D
