Things I Love About Fall #2

What else do I love about fall?

Today!! Because it's my birthday!

That's right. I'm one of those annoying people who love their birthday. Now, I'm not one of those people who tells everyone (ummm, minus this post I suppose, lol) and expects to get a happy birthday back. But I just love this day. My favorite number is 18, so that makes it even better.

Besides, my birthday equals getting mail that doesn't require me to send back a payment (yay for cards!), cake (mmmm, cake), and Doug making dinner (woot!). So what's not to love about birthdays? And if I come home tonight to find the New Moon cd waiting for me? Even better! Also, Sarah's taking me to see New Moon as my gift - yay!

Ok, off to justify a bite of birthday cake with breakfast.

Things I Love About Fall #1

I love Fall. It's my absolute favorite season. There are so many things I love about this season. So many, in fact, that I thought I'd start a little series of posts on Things I Love About Fall. Some will be random things about Fall in general and some may be specific to Fall 2009.

So, for my first favorite thing I thought I'd share something that is partly responsible for keeping me from blogging right now.

An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon. It's the latest in the Outlander series and I'm completely absorbed in this book. I love it. I want to take it with me everywhere - except that it's huge and weighs as much as a small baby basically, not exactly purse friendly.

This came out last month and was definitely one of my favorite things about September - and Fall 2009.
