Some things I have been enjoying lately:
*Warm-ish autumn days.
Indian summers are a truly beautiful thing! I love still being able to sit on my porch and enjoy a gorgeous day! There have only been a few days that have actually required a heavy coat so far, which I love. I'm not the winter type. My roommates and I actually sat in the yard in shorts and tee-shirts last week carving pumpkins. I found it quite humorous, actually.
*Lykke Li.
I'm obsessed. That is all.
*Concocting autumn-themed munchies.
Last night alone, I made snickerdoodle cookies with a drizzle of homemade buttercream frosting and Halloween sprinkles, savory roasted pumpkin seeds and a from-scratch pumpkin pie. I had never made a pumpkin pie with a legit pumpkin before. It was exciting and turned out spectacularly well!
*Being ahead on homework.
This semester has been eating me alive. I have been buried in homework since day one and, subsequently, have been losing my mind. This week, however, I have been at least one day ahead of schedule...it's actually a quite splendid feeling being able to watch movies and enjoy myself a little bit.
*Doing well on tests.
Unfortunately, I got a little too wrapped up in the glory of free time and ended up totally surpassing study time for my Principles of Public Relations exam that I had today. Regardless, it was a breeze!
*Seeing my boyfriend most of the weekend, every weekend.
Last weekend we got coffee, saw some friends, did dinner & a movie (Ponyo is precious, in case you were wondering), drove down some back-roads to get to Guitar Center to buy his birthday present (stopped at a pumpkin stand on the way), talked to our friend in rehab and spent approximately 2 1/2 hours bumming around Half-Price Books. This weekend, we are contemplating Old People Day (We want to dress up like old people and do "old people things" like feed the ducks and take long drives in the country...Just because that's probably what we would do anyhow, only more fun) and we get to party at my house in Kent for Halloween. It's going to be incredible. I can't wait.
*Getting interviews (Straylight Run: this Monday) and in-studio guests (saintseneca: TBA) for my radio show (Mondays, 12-2 a.m.)
Maybe, now we'll actually have a few people tune in? Midnight to 2 a.m. on a Monday simply has to be the shittiest slot to ever exist...
