another snuggie sunday

as i was sitting alone in my apartment this morning talking aloud to myself i decided that i might as well write down my random thoughts instead of wasting them on non-existent ears. and while i like to pretend that the football players, seemingly only a few feet away from me, can hear me yelling at them, i realize they cannot. or else they'd probably be playing better. and sadly i don't live in toy story world where bear and mooska are actually alive.

i had a vision of my future self just now... and it isn't pretty folks. i was sitting, watching football, in a well-worn leopard print snuggie. drinking coffee. with a big brown bunny as my sole companion. yikes!

quick side note... let me offer you a word of advice about 'big brown bunny'... i suggest you avoid doing a google image search of that particular phrase. you will find yourself viewing more than a few unsavory images... lots of cook-a-boos and penetration and things these innocent eyes need not see. feel free to look into it though if you're interested in that sort of thing. no judgments if you are.

i have a confession. and as i won't judge you i trust you'll reciprocate the gesture. here goes...
i was freezing all night last night and i couldn't figure out why. until this morning. when i realized that the window right by my bed was open a crack. oye... blond moment of the day has been had. i am allowed one a day, you see, since i was born a blondie even though i am no longer a member of the light hair persuasion.

seeing as how i live in the great state of minnesota it's that time of year that i dread... the inevitable passing of summer. however, the cooler weather is made sweeter by the many great things fall brings... like football and sending the little ones back to school. and if you haven't made it out to an apple orchard or bonfire yet this season, i suggest you do so stat. it's too bad i can't have all the beautiful colors and lovely scents and tasty foods and still have the temperature be above 70 degrees. but if you get yourself a hot apple cider and find a buddy to snuggle up with fireside you'll warm up to the idea of cooler weather as i have.

to make things even better, it is the first fall that i have not gone back to school. feel free to congratulate me. anyways, as a recent post-grad with a bachelor's degree in environmental studies i feel that i should put my education to use. so i have decided to include an eco-friendly tip in each of my posts.

i am noticing that it is the best time of year to decorate eco-friendly. i was at my friend jen's house last night and she had a great centerpiece on her table... it was a tray piled high with miniature pumpkins and gourds. it was so cute! another option would be filling a big glass bowl or hurricane with red and green apples, limes, pomegranates, cranberries, etc... you could also forage for acorns, pine cones, and paper birch bark. that is going to be my project on my day off tomorrow... if i can get my lazy butt out of my snuggie that is.

today is a beautiful day and tomorrow is going to be AWESOME.
stay neat!
