It's no secret that summer & I aren't friends. But just as I very quickly & easily penned 19 things I dislike about summer, I can just as easily come up with 19 things I look forward to about autumn. Actually, I could probably come up with 19 more, if needed, because I really, really like autumn. And fine, it was 82 degrees in Cleveland today, but those two days of fall-like weather we had last week were enough to get me excited.
Here's what I'm most looking forward to:
- No more sweating
- That crisp fall air & the smell that accompanies it
- Actually wanting to go outside again (see #1 & #2)
- Finally wearing my hair down again (see #1)
- Finally wearing boots, sweaters, & jeans again
- Flavors like cinnamon, maple, & salted caramel
- Warm, cozy, hot coffee drinks in all the above flavors
- Warm, cozy, hot foods, like soup & casseroles
- Leaves changing color...
- ...& later, leaves crunching underfoot
- So many festivals!
- The return of fall TV (I'm lookin' at you, Grey's Anatomy.)
- The High Holidays
- Getting off work for the High Holidays (a special working-for-a-Jewish-org bonus)
- My favorite holiday, Halloween, & all its accompanying festivities
- Significantly lower electricity bills
- The arrival of football season (Go Browns! Go Bucks!)
- Mike's birthday (especially because he's turning 30 this month)
- Going to Szalay's to pick out pumpkins & produce
