Not to much is going on here, just trying to enjoy the last bits of summer, while secretly saying to myself that I am ok for the hot weather to be gone, for summer to pitter out and let the cooler weather roll in. Bring on the sweaters, apples, and root veggies (and maybe a little more couch cuddling and a new tv show to sink my teeth into while knitting). And I have already noticed a few trees giving away some colorful leave. Foliage season... the best time of year (minus all the annoying leaf peepers) But before we get to ahead of ourselves, we have the other time of the year coming up.. Back to school!! I myself am not really effected by this,other then all the littles in my life are going back, which means less babysitting (happy!/Sad) And let's not mention all the back to school supplies I am drooling over. Trapper keepers, watercolors and cool new backpacks. The kiddos are all getting ready with their new sneakers, crisp, empty notebooks, and a fancy new sweater. Me, I am just being jealous, hoping maybe one of them will give me one of their extra cool new pencils with the removable eraser. Maybe once everything ends up on clearance, I'll buy myself a new composition notebook. You know, the ones where you can color all the white parts in with a bright pink neon marker. A customized badass notebook Those are my favorite.
So besides all that, here are some eventful things from the my life this week in list form.
