i heart fall big time :)

I would say that fall is my favorite season of the year, however, I love each season too much to say I favor one more than the other. I love the smell of fall. The leaves changing. The bitter cold. Wearing light jackets. Halloween and Thanksgiving. Its beautiful around our house, especially along the bike path that we take to get to the train station. The ride to the train station is a good wake up period. As the wind comes off the pond and through the trees my cheeks get a perfect feel of the fall air. I love it.

This weekend was a beautiful weekend. We went downtown to enjoy the Jazz Festival which was outdoors. While I wish I was scheduled to work Saturdays, I must say, I am really beginning to enjoy my one day off for the week. The weather was so nice we decided to walk most of the way from our house and crossed over the St. Charles Bridge. The view is a-mazing.

We have also discovered our favorite place for food and drinks. The Pour House. Its delicious and affordable, and the only place with decent bloody marys. Something I love indulging in on my day off of work, along with the half price burgers. I'm thinking next weekend, I might spend my saturday altering my clothes with my sewing machine since I can't buy new ones. It should be a fun little craft day.

Oh yea. Jason tried out for a band and was given the job! He's very excited about his new position. I think its a perfect fit for him as well. A nice little jazz trio. They are call the piano bastard. www.myspace.com/pianobastard They have a show coming up in a few weeks in New York. Hope he's ready, though I'm sure he will be, all he does when we are home is sit in the office practicing and reading about physics (his new hobby, and a good one).

baby its cold outside

well, its cold. not freezing but definitely jacket weather. i opted for a scarf and a light sweater because i cant say im hating the cold (yet). after being somewhere that is mainly, unbearably humid and hot all at once. this cold is kinda awesome. the best part is the smell. fall. the smell of fall is perfect. and so are the trees. the public transportation not so much. i still havent built up my motion sickness tolerance. im afraid i never will. oh, well. i guess ill just be doing a lot of walking and thats not such a bad thing. classes are good. work is ok. its work i guess. ill be observing classes soon. that will be interesting. and im going to be a substitute teacher next month. that will definitely be interesting and hopefully entertaining. its weird that im going to be a middle school teacher considering how much i HATED middle school, so much i dont remember much of middle school. ha. thats life for ya. oh. and. i feel like i spend more time commuting places than being stationary. now thats city life.

wish list/need list before its really cold outside:

1. because all city girls need a cute hat.

2. i need to keep my main mode of transportation safe and snug. and looking cute never hurts either.

(and yes i am a brown girl. or as jason refers to my clothes brown town girl. whatever that means)
