Countdown

Just a cute photo of miss Loons, to accompany me telling you that I have three weeks of school left- our last day is December 9! For this semester...but next semester, my final semester, is pretty much full time at internship with just a couple classes to accompany that, so really, this is my last full-on school semester. At least that's what we tell ourselves to make it through... :)

I'm definitely, very much looking forward to this winter break.

Saturday Night

Just me and some wine, working on creating some flyers for a fake organization's fake fundraising event. Typical grad school Saturday (/any day of the week, really)... four more weeks!

Autumn

It took Texas a little while longer than the rest of the country, but guys, autumn has arrived, settled in, and even has its own toothbrush by the sink. I love it. Cold evenings, nights and mornings, with crisp days. Tea and/or coffee every other day. Jackets and scarves and tights and boots. Blankets and cuddles. Fall is all good things.

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”  George Eliot

Fall Carrot Cupcakes

This weekend felt all kinds of out of sorts, but at least I made some pretty nice cupcakes! 

I made the cake-version of these for Valentine's Day and Kyle's birthday.

Keep on, Fall

I love the Christmas holiday season and I love winter, but around this time of year when I feel fall slipping away the day after Halloween, I get a little resentful and conflicted. Why the rush? Especially in Texas, it's still just starting to feel like fall, and I don't think I can stretch my imagination enough to believe it's time for snowflakes and candy canes. And this year, I haven't even carved a pumpkin yet or roasted the seeds, so that's going to have to happen. Anyway, just enjoying fall while it's here. Winter will come in due time.
