Bye-bye blue cheese odor and sweat rings- see you next year.


At long last, you finally get a break from my incessant bitching about summer, sweaty underboobs and humidity so high that the cats started to mildew.

Finally it is sweet, glorious, chilly, wonderful fall. Hello, sweaters. Hello, jackets. Oh how I've missed you- let's play dress-up later, o.k?

Instead of sitting here in the house typing away about underpants, Doritos, and feet, I'm going to shove my hooves in some walkin' shoes, put on a clean pair of unders and go out and enjoy the day. Maybe I'll even pick up a bag of Doritos to crunch, crunch, crunch whilst I crunch, crunch, crunch the leaves beneath my tootsies.

You should do the same.

Yeah- you. I see you there- watching Oprah, eating m&m's and scratching your bum. Stop it- no one's butt itches THAT much. I know it's fun to scratch. Still- stop it, you're grossing me out.

Get up, get out, enjoy the day and say "hi" to strangers along the way (except that hobo by the tracks- don't talk to him. Talking only encourages him to show you "Mr. one-eyed wiggly", and trust me when I say you don't want to see that).


Trouble and Pooter heartily agree. Get out of the damn house, will ya?

Happy Friday, my orange and red maple and chocolate-dipped crunchy leaves. Happy Friday.

XO

Funny you should say that WM because I just scarfed down a peanut butter and fluffernutter samich and I'm now off to take a nice stroll through town.

Red said...

I'm really glad you've already got a Mister. You and EG might really hit it off. Hope you had fun with the leaves!

Chiada said...

How did you know I was eating M&M's?????

*scary music*"doo-doo-doo-doo!"

I've trapped myself in an avalanche of Doritos, so I'm going to be stuck inside eating my way out for awhile. Let me know what the out of doors is like, and if the store still has Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos.

Hello sweaters! Hello jackets! HELL-LO BOOTS! ;) oh how I LOVE FALL! I'm with you on this one but I start bitching about how cold it is as soon as the temps go below the danger zone (anything below 40 degrees is the danger zone)!

Suze said...

I'm hoping the picture doesn't mean you've locked the cats out of the house again. It's Fall you know.

Fancy Schmancy said...

I'm off to watch my son's football game in 2 hours. Can't wait to get out and breathe some fresh air!

If someone sat in poison ivy, maybe his/her butt would itch that much.

Gwen said...

I'm going to Oktoberfest tonight and I'm looking forward to breaking out a sweater and some boots.

Zibbs: Don't forget your skull-topped walking stick!

Katrin said...

Enjoy!
You have really cute kitties.
I sent you an email.

Send some of it my way, will ya? it's 95 degrees here and I can't remember the last time it rained. Stupid Ike was supposed to at least to THAT for us...

Happy fall to you! I like Spring and Summer best, but I do like the colors of fall. So for today I will try to embrace the changes. Except...it's still in the 80's here.

kirby said...

On Tuesday it was 100, tomorrow we're expecting rain and temps in the 60s. My boobs don't know what to do with weather changes like that.

Slyde said...

maybe its just the holdover from being a kid, but i always get sad when Fall comes around :(

Mmmm....Goodbye blue cheese feet and sweaty titties!! I'm totally with you there!! Fall is by far my favorite time of year: Bonfires, the smell of chimneys sooting in a crisp, gentle fall breeze, and Whiskeymarie's best Halloween fashions in under twenty minutes or less. Ahhh....

I'm gettin' up, I'm gettin' out already... Jeeeeeze!

Actually heading to the 'Geek Fair' er, um, I mean 'Renaissance Faire' tomorrow (my daughter is begging me to go, and yes, she's dressing up... I thought possibly, if I threatened her that I was going to dress up as a 'Wench' she'd turn me away, but that didn't work.) So wish me well fair maiden as I suffer the slings and arrows of those who choose to dwell in the Society for Creative Anachronism.

At least I'll be getting some fresh air.

Distributorcap said...

it is freezing here in NYC right now-- i miss summer already. they go so fast..... can i go back to camp?

the kitties are cute

Kim said...

Ah, to find a kindred spirit. Much of my blog is dedicated to bitching about/exclaiming over the lovliness that is our weather. August in SC is brutal (worse than when we lived in FL) but then we get fall and I forgive SC. I love October so much, it's the month I picked to get married in. Just getting to be outside walking the dog in jeans and a hoodie is enough to keep me in a good mood all day.
Let us all rejoice, for another shitty sweaty summer is now in the books!

Pooter is quite possibly the best name for a cat ever.

Ed said...

I'm jealous. It was a beautiful early fall day here in Madison, WI and all I wanted was to get out in the country for a nice walk. Instead, I got to help my 19-year old daughter move and assemble her furniture for her. I hope you had a nice day.

Inarticulate Fumblings said...

Reading you loud and clear. So long BOOB SWEAT. I even started rowing... as in, competitive sport. Weird. Oprah, who? It's all about Jess...

Moe Wanchuk said...

I've got moob sweat AND swass as I type, cuz I'm stuck in the Lansing airport due to "mechanical" issues.
"We have no idea if we can fix this plane, so just relax and be patient."

Oh really. How about you stay patient while I bounce my b*lls of your nose!!!!!

Could someone please put a fork in Northwest Airlines???

...and then the rain shows up and sticks its tounge out at you saying, "Neener neener, you ain't go no peener and you also don't get to do any of the fun things you had planned for today. But don't worry - I'll go away once you're safely locked in your cubicle again."

I'm only a little bit bitter though, because the rain made me look like less of a lazy ass sleeping off my hangover all day.

Those cats are freaking me out. It's like their looking into my soul.

okay! So I stole Julie Bender's Trapper Keeper in 4th grade! I admit it! Now stop looking at me!
