Of course, I'm sure I'm going to miss out on a few things I love to do due to my stupid, stupid weekend job (ugh). Andy will likely take Ant apple picking and the most I'll get out of it is apple eating and apple baking.. not that it's that bad of a thing. I really hate missing out on "family" time with them -- some of my favorite days are when the three of us get to hang and do fun stuff together.
Fall always brings a feeling of "newness" that's hard to describe. Maybe I'm just so excited to be free of the oppressive Massachusetts summer humidity (I am) or maybe it's all those pumpkin spice coffees I've been downing this month (omnomnom), but I feel energized to look ahead to new things.
Recently, I read post on Crazybananas.com, and I felt inspired to make a "life menu." A life menu is kinda like a bucket list, but for whatever reason I prefer this term over bucket list. I'm going to try and get all this stuff done by this time next year. We'll see how I do. I will make no promises, because I'm a wicked bad procrastinator. Like, WICKED bad.
