I'll Be Taking That Back Now, Thanks

Well it's about time. Quite literally. I've been missing that extra hour since I sprang forward sometime last April. I needed that hour. That hour was crucial! So late last night, just before I crawled into bed, I couldn't help but do a little happy dance when Kyle reminded me about the clocks changing. (Cal had a football game that went till after 10:30, so it was close to midnight by the time Kyle and I got home, and we're old now, so midnight is Late!) And you know what? I don't even care that it'll be dark when I leave work. That hour rightfully belonged to me and darn it, I've been wanting it back! Hooray for getting my hour back!!!!

In other news, Cal finally won a football game (we were in quite a tail spin there for a few weeks, but hopefully we've recovered now and can manage to salvage the rest of the season) and the weekend with the Grandparents went swimmingly. Turns out I might be cut out for this whole hostess thing after all. Who knew?

Feels Like Fall

I think Fall is officially here. It's dark when I wake up in the morning, there's a distinct crispness in the air, and our kitty, Yertle, has taken to sleeping under the covers with Kyle and me. (Beyond cute!)

In honor of the season, a bunch of us went apple picking this past weekend. I had never been. And if you have never been, well, let me tell you, you should go! Apple picking is good stuff. The apple cider and apple cider donughts aren't half bad either.


My very first hand-picked apple!

Pretty.


I don't think I could possibly love this picture more.

Note: I may or may not have come home with 12-15 lb of apples... does anyone have any good apple recipes? Otherwise, I'm just going make a gallon or two of apple sauce.
