Fall: My Favorite Season!

I love fall for many reasons:
Colorful crunchy leaves
Chilly weather that encourages cuddle time
Hot coffee
Fires in the fireplace
NO ALLERGIES

For all of you summer lovers, don't hate.  I simply don't like summer.  The heat, if over 75 degrees, is miserable and the allergies are unbearable.  I spend most of my summer in tank tops, wishing my work would allow me the pleasure of wearing flip flops, while doped up on allergy medicine and sudafed and sitting at my cubicle looking out at the fabulous sunshine while huddled up in a blanket because the AC in the building is on full blast.  I would much prefer looking outside at the miserable rainy darkness knowing that I'm nice and warm in my cubicle with a hot cup of coffee (Peppermint Mocha Creamer= Bliss!!).... makes me feel lucky. 

Also, during summer the grass is brown and dead.  I much prefer the green supple grass that just asks you to strip of your shoes and enjoy bare feet.  Scratchy, dry, dead grass does not have the same effect. 

The only problem with Fall that I have is the lack of tanning, but that is easily remedied with a tanning bed :)  20 minutes later you have a much better tan than if you were to have laid outside in the Oregon summer sun for two hours!  It's like magic.
