I know that I should be soaking up the last of the summer
sun, enjoying my flip flops and margaritas on the patio while I still can, but
I just can’t help be excited about Fall! It is my favorite season, there’s just
so much to love! Here’s a list of some of things I’m looking forward to about
Fall-
1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes
Okay, okay, I know it is soooo overdone, but
the day Starbucks whips up their first pumpkin spice latte, I’ll be camping out
in the damn parking lot, okay, actually, it’ll probably be after school drop
off, in the drive thru, with my minivan, but you get the idea.
I love me my
pumpkin spice lattes, but somebody decided to take the pumpkin spice thing too
far. You just know a bunch of people were sitting around a board room and
someone was all like, “You know, everyone is crazy about these pumpkin spice
lattes, we should see if we can make other pumpkin spice crap! People will love
it!”
And then we end up with shit like, pumpkin
spice ice cream, pumpkin spice gum, pumpkin spice condoms (okay, I made that
last one up, but I would not be surprised if it existed.)
Let’s tone down the pumpkin spice stuff, kay
marketing people? Don’t fucking touch my lattes though!

2) Sweaters
How awesome are sweaters!? I mean, they cover your
ass, (those lattes pack a lot of calories!) they are super comfy, and cute and
go with almost any outfit. When you are wearing yoga pants and a T-shirt but
have to go out in public, throw a sweater over that train wreck and you’re good
to go!
3) Long, Black Yoga Pants
Hello, yoga pants, oh how I have missed you this
summer. It’s been too damn hot for you lately, but soon we will be reunited!
You go with anything and everything, I love you long, black yoga pants!
4) Shaving: Optional
Speaking of yoga pants and sweaters, ain’t nobody
gonna see your legs or pits under those. Fall means shaving becomes optional,
or in my case, not gonna happen til spring.
5) Bye Bye Boob Sweat
Ugh, I am so sick of ringing out my damn bras at the
end of the day. Fall means cooler weather and that means no more boob sweat!
Unless you go to the gym, which doesn’t apply to me because although I’ve got
the hots for my yoga pants, I don’t actually go to yoga.
6) School Starting
Whoop! Whoop! See ya kids! The mornings are
going to suck ass, but once we get back into a routine, we will have a routine!
Remember a routine kids? No, probably not because you’ve been staying up late,
sleeping in, having way too much screen time and eating meals at weird times. I
can’t wait to be back on a normal schedule and the fact that my some of my kids
will be gone part of the day isn’t too shabby either.
See ya summer, it’s been real, but it’s time for you to move
on. It’s not you, it’s me. Well, me being sick of you. So, do me a favor, will
you? Go the fuck away so it can be Fall now.
I'm on the fence. I love fall, but end of summer means we're getting closer to those mean, awful Connecticut winters. Still, you make a good case with the sweaters and pumpkin lattes. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the pumpkin lattes!
DeleteI think I've finally reached the age where I consider shaving optional at any time of the year. My only question is "do I feel like it?" (It helps to have a boyshort-style swimsuit so your bikini line is never a complicating factor in your decision.)
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes, I think, who is really going to be looking that closely at my legs to notice they aren't shaved anyway?
DeleteI'm totally late on this one. But, it's December now you see, and I have a routine in place where I get an hour to do what I want. I am so with you on this summer has to go crap.
