Sure, Beaver, sure...

Have you guys ever watched an episode of "Leave it to Beaver"?

It's so disturbing.

First of all, they call their child "Beaver", who does that?

Secondly, the wife is a stay at home mother who apparently just vacuums and cooks, so she is really a glorified cleaning lady.

Thirdly, the "Beaver" and his brother say "Gee" ALL THE TIME!

How is this considered a classic?


It was so nice to be back in Michigan this past weekend. I wish I could have had more time to hang out with my favorite Michiganders! Grand Rapids is still as pretty as ever! I think it really is one of the prettiest places on the planet during fall! Congratulations to the TWO newly married couples!

Just Because

I'm wearing leggings as pants.

I know, bad, VERY BAD...but it's laundry day!

I'm only hanging around my apartment!

They're the only thing clean!


Gosh, if it wasn't so awful I would dress like this everyday! I'm so comfy!




I have no way to justify it...

Sorry for this VERY random post.

I use antlers in all of my decorating!

Ok, so I missed my post yesterday to celebrate the re-release of "Beauty and the Beast" but I do have an awesome link for you guys! Check it out and do some decorating of your own! (I am going to run out of paper with all the coloring I plan on doing!)

Now I need to run out and buy the DVD before it goes back in the vault! I missed it last time so this time is a must!


In other happy news, only 25 days until Halloween!!!!!!!!!

But sir, the castle is under attack!

Like Toi, I have been dying of a terrible cold.

I called off work two days in a row.

I'm still feeling a bit like the walking dead, but today my eyes haven't been constantly watering so things are looking up!

Sorry it's been a lone time since I've posted. Things in Chicago have been busy. It always seems busy. I think I am going to have to get a planner and schedule my days hour by hour so I don't forget to do things. You know, bathe, eat, new blog post...

This past weekend I was in MI for a funeral and a birthday party (Not for the same person!) In fact, I am still in MI. I love MI this time of year. It's so pretty. All the trees are such vibrant reds, oranges and coppers!!!

OH! Random happy fact!!!! Tomorrow, October 5th, Disney is re-releasing one of my all time favorite movies from the vault!!! Can you guess what it is? Maybe tomorrow I will do a *special* post of my favorite clips or lines!!!!

Well, that's it for now. I will try to update again soon. I don't want October to be the lost month that September was!

Pour vous...

I found this the other day. It made me laugh and I know it will give those of you who have studied abroad in France a good laugh too!

Confession

Ok kids, I've put it off long enough.

Are you ready for my deep dark secret?

(Alright, it's not really a deep dark secret since half of you already know it, but I haven't publicly announced it.)


Are you sitting?


Or standing?


Holding a stiff drink?


Maybe you can half sit/half stand and hold a drink...





I am seeing someone!!!!
I really like him, he's really sweet. I hope you all get to meet him soon!

Falling leaves...not quite!

Fall is in the air.

Have you noticed?

It is wonderful!

I am getting so excited thinking about scarves, sweaters, hot chocolate, rust colored leaves, hot apple cider and crisp sunrises. I've been so excited about the arrival of autumn that I even bought skinny jeans to tuck into my tall boots. I have NEVER owned a pair of skinny jeans, but I do now! Wow, Chicago really plays with your sense of fashion! I also bought a pack of Samuel Adams Octoberfest Beer (it just seemed appropriate!!!)

The only thing Chicago doesn't have is that quiet walk from the Carriage House to the Academic Building with a steamy beverage in your hands and leaves to crunch underfoot the whole journey.

Somethings are just irreplaceable!

Happy Pre-Autumn!
