Most anticipated season premiere: Dexter on Showtime
Tuesday nights have become the new Friday nights for me. Having every Wednesday and Thursday off is my little mid-week weekend, and I now look forward to the beginning of the week. I'm hanging out in my living room, listening to my iTunes on shuffle (Incubus was just on, and I almost forgot how obsessed I used to be with them), and I'm belly-full of Mexican take-out. Life is good.
The fall is always a nostalgic season for me, and I think it has a lot to do with school; starting another year a little bit older and wiser is refreshing and promising. I'm energized by the unknown. Especially in college, every year was so different from the next, like short stories in an anthology. I recently (and finally) organized ALL of my digital pictures into albums on Picasa, mostly broken up by school years. I can't believe how many hairstyles and colors/shades I've tried, and it's kind of ironic that au naturale works best in the end :P
I love sort of "reliving" memories through pictures, and it's amazing how much detail you can remember from one photo. Songs and scents are the same way. Counting Crows will always remind me of Mexico, and Victoria's Secret Strawberries and Champagne will always remind me of Christmas. Why? Because I'm a freak with a weird brain, just like you probably. But what I realized as I organized my photos was that while some friends have come and gone, and some trips will probably never be taken again, I felt good about it. So a lot has changed...it is what it is, and I'm a firm believer in things happening for a reason. I love those memories, but I'm also creating new ones. More photo albums to come.
Well, it's official! I have off from work the Saturday of Homecoming, so I'll be there :) Jon and I are thinking of going pumpkin/apple picking that Sunday, so if you know of a good place to go let me know please. Or better yet, just come along if you can!

Hey - thanks for Jenna's blog! I really appreciate that. I have read that before - but it was good to see again! Enjoyed your blog. Hope you're enjoying your day off! :)
Erica: We're missing you too! Messiah without you and Rachel is considerably less funny and fun than it used to be.
I'll be around for some of Homecoming and hoping to see you then!
