If someone had told me that I would be in Chicago for autumn, I would’ve told them, “Girl, please” and just walked away.
So. wrong. was. I.
Shivering in what must be ten blankets and thinking:
- Mother of Bevo, it is COLD.
- I’m not going to see sunshine for months on end.
- I will most definitely be getting rashes from not exposing my skin to fresh air and from the insane amount of wool wrapped around my neck (oh, it’s bad).
- It’s a cool 84 degrees in Austin.
- I can totally do this.
I used to love October, but now, I’d like November to get here as soon as possible.
Eloquent and Sweet.
Some people say that Twitter is just useless oversharing and corporate garbage.
I disagree.
And when I saw @damon’s humble and delightful news, I grinned from ear to ear.
Definition: Autumn in Chicago
- The season of the year between summer and winter, lasting from the autumnal equinox to the winter solstice and from September to December in the Northern Hemisphere; fall.
- A period of maturity verging on decline.
I sensed its arrival on Monday, knew it was true on Tuesday, and saw it with my own eyes today:
I firmly believe the season should be referred to as autumn, not fall.
This Must’ve Been So Much Fun To Make
Nearly everyone I’ve talked to has listened to this song on repeat for an hour. Ridiculous.
- Very nicely created with iMovie09
- I wonder which beach this was filmed at
- …2:11…
- <3 2:39 + 2:47
What I Wore Everyday
Every day, I take a photo of what I’m wearing and send it via email to my closest friends . It smells strongly of narcissism but my goal is to stay connected – we’re all busy and sometimes a skype session or email tirade is not always possible.
I’ve asked my friends (who, bless them, aren’t as tech dependent) to do the same, and the results have been hilarious and true to who they are.
My favorites photo responses:
- A dog, post bath
- Someone squirting ketchup straight into his or her mouth
- The carcass of an In-And-Out meal
- Proud screenshots of @foursquare mayorship
Y’all.
I mentally update my blog and Twitter all day. Somehow my quips never make it to the Web. Changing that….now.
- I haven’t been inside a CAR for over six weeks. I miss my car.
- This is the longest I’ve ever been away from Austin.
- If ever I go home, I’m going to run around my backyard like an idiot for a whole day. City life lacks solid greenery.
- I’m surprised at how much I miss my friends but am forever thankful for technology that unites us.
- I continue to fall for Chicago and her beauty.
