My Favorite Time of Year!

It looks like Fall is on its way! My favorite time of year. The days get a bit cooler, a nice sweet smelling breeze blows, and the beautiful colors. Oh how could you forget the beautiful oranges, reds, yellows, and browns. As not only a writer but a photographer, great photographs can be created from the fall season. 

I’m a spring child, although I think I was really supposed to be a fall baby. Spring I do not like, let me say it again – I DO NOT LIKE SPRING! I do however LOVE fall. My boyfriend is a fall baby and I guess that’s why we get along so well. I hate snow and anything that has to do with the cold. I’m alright with summer as long as it has a steady breeze blowing and rains here and there a few times a week. Fall however is mine – all mine.

Even the holidays – There’s Halloween – my ultimate favorite and Thanksgiving – the time of being thankful and eating. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, yorkshire puddings, pumpkin pie, yams smothered in marshmallows, buttered rolls, and sweet potato pie. Yum! I’m starting to get hungry just thinking about it. Now don’t get me wrong, Christmas is great too – the gifts and basically the same foods you had for Thanksgiving, but with Thanksgiving you also get that great romantic fall weather.

Last night I finally got one of my list articles in order and tracked down the magazine’s email address and sent it off to them. Keep your fingers crossed, I really want to sell this article. It didn’t really take all that long to write, but the editing process was a bit rough. It started out with 16 items on the list, and by the time it was completed, it had only 9 items.

Let it Rain – Let it Pour

Today is a lucky day for the area around here! It’s pouring down rain! I love the rain and we are in such a great need of it. Our grass is brown and crunchy – not what grass should be.

So far today, not much has really gotten done around here other than the bed was made up, laundry was caught up, the dishes were loaded in the dishwasher, and a few emails were replied to and oh my Lord, I posted a ton on AW today. So yeah, I guess some did get done. I feel so tired today. It’s raining outside and I guess it’s just one of those days. You know, one of those “lazy” days.

Dieting Update:

My diet is going pretty well. I’ve lost 4 pounds. Of course it’s not just the dieting – I think it’s probably also the exercise. What type – I’ll never tell.

This post may not be as long as the others over this last week. I feel drained. So far I have quite a few questions ready to present during my interview with Freekibble and can’t wait to get started on it. I do however want to have a few more questions just to make sure that I can make at least a 600 word article. I have been contemplating on whether to pitch my artilce idea else where since I would be giving up all my rights to this article as well as it is very low paying. I’m not sure I want to give up all my rights and that is more important at the moment than the money is. I’ll have it all figured out in a day or two… I hope.

I have also had a great idea for another blog that I would love to make a bit of cash from. I’m not really sure how I could do that, but maybe I can figure that out as well in my free time. Well, enough writing for now. I’m going to go relax and maybe post another later.
