I live for this...

One-third of the way in, I've got fall fever, baby!

Even though I spent way more than I should have at the grocery store, I'm in fall heaven. I did not get a cornocopia, nor did I get cider, so I may not be the BIGGEST autumn enthusiast, but I'm pretty close.

I bought cranberries and green apples for fruits. I bought all kinds of squash - two went for a delicious chowder and the other will be eaten with dinner at my leisure - for vegetables. I think the cranberries are still a bit tart, but hey, so am I. I've moved on to warmer lunches of chili dogs (turkey dogs and veggie chili, but still) and chicken & dumpling soup. I made pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. I bought candles that smell like cranberries with orange and mulled cider.

It's a fall fest all the way. Now all I have to do is convince Allison to do some pumpkin carving with me and I'm all set.

It's eight days till my birthday, and I'll be honest, I'm a little freaked about being 25. But that's why I have all of the above, and red wine, yummy red wine (which, by the way, goes great with cranberries).

Oh did I forget to mention, it's the World Series? I live for this (and those awesome commercials)! Go Tigers!
