But the nights are nice at least. If only the nights weather would stick around. It's the humidity that I really can't stand. It's so humid all the time in New Orleans, can't stand it! I've tried the Peppermint Mochas and I can't get used to them...it taste too much like a candy cane. Too much peppermint. If it were a smoother flavor, I'd like it more...just mint would be better, no peppermint :pchrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-2139785885035791322007-10-06T21:42:00.000-05:002007-10-06T21:42:00.000-05:00I like pumpkin spice lattes, too; almost as much a...I like pumpkin spice lattes, too; almost as much as peppermint mocha ones! And, as you say, it's coming soon! However, I don't know about where you live, but here outside of Chicago? It's STILL (HAS BEEN, SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE FOREVER) eighty-some f...ing degrees outside. I am way done with that. Was done with it in August as a matter of fact.

I just wish that the temperatures would stick around during the day! I know exactly what you mean though...it's messing up my Halloween time! Your weekend sounds great though! My plans are somewhat similar and that's the plan every weekend during October...I milk it for all it's worth during this month! Wouldn't it be great if we could have a big blogger Halloween party? But you're right..this is the next best thing!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-45793792591376809502007-10-05T13:41:00.000-05:002007-10-05T13:41:00.000-05:00Amen to October finally being here!!!

Things better change soon! ;)<BR/><BR/>My plan for this weekend is to immerse myself in all things October. I've got my scary movies out, I'm ready to dive back into R.I.P. II reading, and I've snagged both the Martha Stewart Halloween Special magazine and this month's copy of Living just to get myself in the mood for future Halloween and fall festivities. I wish we all lived closer together so we could celebrate together. But you know what, this blog connection stuff is pretty darn cool and is certainly the next best thing.Carl V.

It's a real piece of art and I thought it was a steal at $40...I have one of her harlequin dancers and it's my prized possession of hers! It used to be my only one of a kind piece by her, but now I have the candlestick holders too which aren't really one of a kind, but she said she won't paint any others those colors. So I guess they are. Anyway, her art is beautiful and I try to scoop up as much as I can when there's a bargain :p It's great stuff to decorate with!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-18367839108491458172007-10-02T01:15:00.000-05:002007-10-02T01:15:00.000-05:00Oh god!

Where I live we get the leaves changing and it is wonderful. Except this year, I guess the leaves are 'sick' and are not supposed to be as impressive this year. hmph.

My kids had been PESTERING me for the whole last week of September about when we'd get to decorate for Halloween, so they are certainly in your frame of mind. I finally hefted and heaved boxes and tubs for hours (maybe 20 minutes) and found the right containers, and they had a blast decorating this weekend. My favorite of their many quirky decorative touches was the fake eyeball they found and attached to the front door. So now we have a lovely disembodied eye that stares at people when they come to the door. Yes, these apples have not fallen at all far from this tree! :-DJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-47396283014302034132007-10-01T19:30:00.000-05:002007-10-01T19:30:00.000-05:00Booklogged, Sorry to hear that you hurt in the col...Booklogged, Sorry to hear that you hurt in the cold weather :( I know something about that. I was born with my right leg turned out and wore a brace for awhile and my hip never healed quite right and it pops when I walk, so at 26, I already have the early stages of arthritis in it and it can be quite uncomfortable in the cold. Happy autumn to you though :) Hope the cold stays away for as long as possible for you!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-11124142369233187912007-10-01T19:06:00.000-05:002007-10-01T19:06:00.000-05:00There is a lot to love about the end of the year. ...There is a lot to love about the end of the year.
