Fall-What I Like and Don't Like

Here is what I love about the fall:

1) NFL Football

2) Post Season baseball

3) The return of all my favorite shows

4) My hair does not need the flat iron as often

5) My eyeliner does not run onto my top lid (why does that happen anyway-I sit behind a desk! I mean I am not lifting weights and even so, do your eyelids sweat?)

6) Jeans with high heels.

And you totally thought I was going to say pumpkins and cider and the leaves changing colors....well that too of course ;-)

What I hate about Fall:

1) Retiring flip flops eventually (like November)

2) It gets dark earlier making way to the eventual 3:30 pm sunset (O.K. fine! 4:15)

3) Christmas decorations out now. Utterly ridiculous and they take away from the autumnal scenes. Yes I get it Christmas is three months away-I don't need it shoved quite that far down my throat yet. Although on the upside we can all start using the Santa threat!!! Yipee. In fact I already bought two gifts (BUT Preston is a December baby so I have to get double).

4) The realization that everything Preston owns is too long in the arms and legs and I can't sew (remember my status update on Facebook about feeling like a failure amidst the customers in Ben Franklin? I started hyperventilating somewhere between the pipe cleaners and glue guns). So I totally bend over and pay like $100 for hemming of the pants. ARGH! Summer is soooo much easier for this reason. Hopefully the tailor gets it right this time-let's hope she won't sew boobs into Preston's pants.

5) The fact that the Red Sox will probably eek their way into fall baseball.

6) JACKETS-I hate wearing jackets (other than like the stylish blazer). I hate gloves and hats too. I don't hate the fall-I just hate the inevitable-January through March. Weatherwise let's be honest-they suck. I get sad that summer goes so fast. I'm not one for sweating at all, but I am still sorry to see it go.

We are getting ready for the arrival of Mrs. Reed, or Katie, to Virginia this weekend. The firepit is ready and we have already tested it out. Preston has made sure to stuff about four marshmallows in his mouth already. He also is getting bitten alive by the bugs down here. So much so that they turn into welts. One started to form a ring so I naturally diagnosed him with Lyme Disease. Even though I am pretty sure Preston has not gotten cozy with a deer lately. but nevertheless. I really (forgive me) so did not want to go to the emergency pediatrician center on a sunny Saturday, so my mother suggested the good ol' CVS pharmacist. Both of the pharmacists have lived here their whole lives. They told me (even after I knew this from vast research of 15 minutes on Web MD) that Lyme Disease forms a bulls eye. I was convincing myself Preston had a bull's eye mark. I was directed to Aisle 9...hydrocortozone.

Well hope everyone has a great weekend!!!! Here is a cute pic of Preston from Sunday after deciding he had had enough football:

And my sister's wedding pictures from the professional were up. I totally LOVE this one of Preston.
