IT'S AUTUMN TIME

FALL. I'VE FALLEN. FALL IS HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE SEASON OF THE FOUR. I FEEL NOSTALGIC. I FEEL SURROUNDED BY BEAUTY. EVERYWHERE I TURN I SEE HUES AND TEXTURES THAT INSPIRE ME.

I WASN'T EXPECTING IT... BUT THE INSPIRATION WAS FAR-REACHING TODAY. I WOKE UP WITH A DESIRE TO DO EVERYTHING. EACH STEP I TOOK TO DO ANYTHING, LED ME TO ABOUT FIVE OTHER TASKS BEFORE. IE: GO MAKE BJ A PROTEIN SHAKE- BUT FIRST STOP AT THE BATHROOM TO RESTOCK THE TOILET PAPER- CLEAN UP ALL THE BLANKETS ON THE FLOOR FROM LAST NIGHT'S MOVIE- PUT COMPUTER AWAY IN CLOSET THAT IS SO DIRTY I COULD CRY- THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT CLEANING THAT CLOSET OUT NOW- INSTEAD, OPEN PANTRY DOOR TO GET BJ'S PROTEIN POWDER- REFILL THE EMPTY CEREAL CANISTER WITH NEW HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS- BEGIN MAKING THE PROTEIN SHAKE- PROCEED TO SPILL HALF OF THE HALF GALLON OF MILK ON THE GLOOR-TAKE A MOMENT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT WITH BJ INSTEAD OF THROWING A TEMPER TANTRUM LIKE I WANT TO- 

EACH ACTIVITY WENT SOMTHING LIKE THIS TODAY.

ONE TASK LEADING INDIRECTLY TO ANOTHER UNRELATED PURSUIT.

IT WAS, ADMITTEDLY, A LITTLE UNORGANIZED, BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDST OF MY FRAZZLED, SHORT-CIRCUIT THINKING- THE IDEA CAME.

MY BLOG.

I NEED TO START BLOGGING AGAIN.

SO THAT'S WHEN THE PICTURE TAKING BEGAN AND THE FALL INSPIRED PHOTO OPTS WERE CAPTURED. SO NOW, HERE I AM, BACK AT THE BLOGGING EFFORT.

I KNOW I APPRECIATE THE BLOGS THAT MY FRIENDS KEEP SO I CAN STAY SOMEWHAT INVOLVED IN OUR SEPERATE LIVES. I HOPE THAT NOW I AM RETURNING THE FAVOR. SO HERE'S THE LONG AWAITED UPDATE FROM BEEJER AND ME. 

YES, I LOVE FALL.

 AND YES, I AM PREGNANT. 

XOXO
