It's Offically FALL!!! Yee haw!

Happy October 1st everybody! O.K. I know it's says it's the 2nd, but cut me some slack will ya ?

I really did start thinking about this post yesterday. LOL

I didn't think it would EVER get here.....

We have been having some Fall Tastical weather here in good old "Minny" and I am soooo LOVIN IT!

Here's a list of what I love the most about FALL.....

Cool crisp mornings

Days full of beautiful warm sunshine

Decorating :-)

The sounds of rustling leaves

Bon Fires

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Candles

Pumpkins

Being able to wear my "Sassy" RED BOOTS

Baking

Halloween

Spooky Movies

Craft Fairs

Day trips to look at the leaves changing

Vibrant Colors

Fireplace

Coziness

Lemon Zinger Tea

Baggy Sweatshirts

Socks
Turkey and stuffing
Squash swimming in BUTTER and Salt/Pepper

Blanket Snuggling
Chex Mix
Abdalluh Caramel Apples
Walks in the Park
Crockpot Cooking
Beef Barley Soup w/Popovers

This is just what came to mind in 5 minutes....there is so much more to love about
AUTUMN

Here's a few MORE pic's of my Fall decorating...
Sorry the lighting isn't better in some. For the rest, follow down and you'll see another post :-)

UGH! I'm still struggling with getting a good Pic of my Fireplace Mantel!

 Basements are NOT Picture Friendly! :-(

On another note.....I've been having some dark days lately. Mainly because of my approaching wedding anniversary on Nov 4th 2000. This would have been our Tenth anniversary....I'm so sad I didn't get to reach this Milestone. Also tomorrow is the Twin Cities Marathon where my EX and his skank will be running 26.2 miles together. Probably hand in hand.....Gagging......PUKE

Lately it seems like the tears still come so easily to me. I hate that with a passion but I am grieving a DEATH an end of my life together with the Man I used to love.*Note I said USED to Love* I am certainly not pining for him. I'm angry, hurt, still somewhat pissed off....but mostly I'm just plain ol bitter.

I actually have thought about writing that Skanky *Bitch* (Sorry) a THANK YOU note for opening my eyes to the Man I married. I have uncovered many lies that I was told over the years, and now know the secrets he kept from me.

At times I see a "Couple" so happy and I can't help but wonder if I will EVER have that again.
I put up a front that Men are "Dogs", but deep inside I so want a relationship again. But I'm not sure these walls I've built around me CAN let anybody in. They protect me from future Hurt.....

I am walking the road "Single" but not alone....

Thank god for friends and family!

Gotta scoot-Ta Ta for now
