Fall is coming
My WeatherBug says that it's 88.6 degrees outside right now, but I'm stuck at work all weekend, so I wouldn't really know. I do know that the nights have been getting cooler and that I have fall on the brain.
Little-known fact about me: I LOVE fall decorations. Leaf wreaths, corn stalks, smiley scarecrows, fake harvest crap-- I love it all. I would buy every cheapo fall decoration at Rite Aid if I let myself. I held myself to one wreath for the door because we don't need to have all of that junk cluttering up our already-cluttered house, so now I pass the wreath every day and can't wait to hang it up after Labor Day. 
Fall would be more fun if I weren't stuck at work, frantic, for the whole two months of September and October, but it's still pretty awesome.
Favorite things about fall. Go.

Not gasping for air by the end of my driveway when I'm out for a run because it's so friggin hot.
That's all I've got. I'm a spring and summer gal myself.
I love summer the most, too, but I've found myself thinking more and more about fall stuff lately... Thus this post.
I'm a spring/summer girl myself, but I do love:

If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
I do too!!! I used to be in marching band, so I would have to go to the games. I would have no idea what was going on and be so bored!! Didn't even help that my high school boyfriend was on the team lol
I don't know if you ladies have ever hear the phrase "Texas doesn't have seasons", but it's kinda sorta true.
Particularly fall. We don't have too much of an autumn here. At least not in North Texas where I am located. That being said there are a few things...

not getting dirty looks when wearing a scarf (yes, I even wear them in the spring and occasionally in the summer)

the smell in the air when it finally does start to cool down
chili, stew and gumbo!!!!
Fall is my FAVORITE season!!!

Wearing my favorite jeans, potato shoes, and a jacket
Being able to sit outside and breathe at the same time! I hate humidity =[
I could go on because I love everything about fall but I'll leave it at that!
Katy, what are potato shoes?
Georgia Tech football!!!!!
The smell of the crisp air...
Picking which design I'm going to do for my pumpkin...
And that's about it. I hate being cold.
Here's my pumpkin from last year:
These are potato shoes lol at least that's what they're called around here. I guess you could say their clogs?
LOL Potato shoes? I have never heard them called that! Haha
I'm looking forward to it not being hot in our bedroom all the time. And lower electric bill due to no AC. We usually don't turn on the heat until November.
More taco soup? It's so much better in the winter. More snuggles with my hubby cuz it isn't too hot!
Taco soup?! sounds like something my HH would love. Will you share the recipe?
so why are they called potato shoes?
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
Fall means cool weather school and this year Fall means my last year of my 30's It means my oldest 2 turn 18.
For me it means Thanksgiving & Christmas I love them both I love my decorations and buying gifts and making all of my christmas cards LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
Honestly, I have no idea. Thats just what everyone around here calls them. I guess because they sort of resemble a potato if you use your imagination? lol
they do kinda look like a potato!
