surely it’s not…right?
i’m so out of whack these days. just two weeks ago i was sweating in the hot 90 degree heat, wearing tank tops and sandals, and today: fleece jacket. of course it’s gorgeous and actually feels like fall a bit, but i am so un-prepared.
this past weekend the boy bought me a pumpkin — i love carving pumpkins for halloween — and i did it up right. of course, it’s not quite as awesome as it should be seeing as i don’t have any candles for it. but it smells pretty spectacular. i pretty much hate all things about pumpkin (and pumpkin related products) save for the awesome smell of a freshly-carved jack-o-lantern, dusted with cinnamon. hell, i won’t eat a bite of pumpkin pie, but i will smell it.
maybe that will help it feel a bit more like fall around here.
i have a halloween costume already, no plans whatsoever for the day, but i’m pretty excited for my costume. it’s damned spiffy if i do say so myself. i love my new pirate hat.
oh, and before i forget, we have a disco ball for the apartment now, too! it’s so fucking awesome, and was totally cheap — practically a steal!!! god bless spencer’s gifts, i’m so glad there’s one within driving distance, that store totally reminds me of younger, dumber days. plus: sex toys!
i’ve tentatively started thinking about christmas…or the holiday season, really. have shopping to plan, travel to organize, etc. i’m really excited about having my own tree in the apartment, to decorate however. it will be so much fun and all mine! i know the boy isn’t really into the holidays — and christ knows it’s one massively depressing season — but something about decorating the tree and having a steaming cup of hot cocoa just calms me. i always used to decorate the tree with my gram and listen to christmas carols on the stereo while drinking cocoa. it was something we did together. and right now, i still can’t quite deal with christmas carols…but i do love decorating christmas trees.
plus, who doesn’t love hot cocoa? it’s CHOCOLATE DRINK. that’s a big win in my book.
and of course, it’s still FAR TOO EARLY to be thinking these kinds of things, i guess…but my whole world is pretty mixed up right now. hell, i may end up having my first non-alcoholic thanksgiving in years, soon.
meh.
