Hello Football Season!!!

Fall is my absolute favorite season of all. I love the colors, the smells, the crisp, cool weather - and the beginning of college football season!!! To be specific, I love watching my Alma Mater - the Kansas State Wildcats - on the field. To make this season even better, we have our all-time favorite coach back at the helm this year. Don't get me wrong, I know he can't perform miracles and we're not going to be better overnight, but I think he brings something back to our program that has been missing for a while now. A strong work ethic, proven success, and RESPECT. He has respect for the University, himself, the fans, and the players and he reaps just as much in return. We've got win #1 under our belts already and are looking for #2 and some conference wins this year too. My only wish for this season is that we could get up to a game at some point, but it doesn't look like that is likely. I miss the days of being a season ticket holder and traveling to Manhattan several weekends during the fall. I miss the atmosphere of the stadium and the excitement that just crackles through the crowds. I am waiting for the day, a few years down the road, when we can introduce our kids to something that meant so much to us in our college days and share that excitement with them! Until then, I'll be sitting in my living room every Saturday afternoon from September to November and cheering on my Cats! :)

FOBTY 9/3 - Quirky Questions

After a month (or two) off, I'm jumping back into challenges at Sweet Shoppe. This week's FOBTY is a set of quirky questions for me to answer. Here goes!

1. Do you wash your own car or do you go to a car wash?

It depends. If it's really grimy I wash it at home so I can really scrub and get that layer of film off of it. If it's mainly just dusty, I zip through the car wash when I'm out and about.

2. Are you wearing socks right now?

Nope. And I won't until I absolutely have to when the weather turns colder. Until then I'll get away with flip flops and ballet flats and no socks.

3. Where were you 3 hours ago?

At home just getting out of bed and into the shower. Morning routine has started earlier now since our first day of school was yesterday.

4. Do you have laundry waiting to be done?

There's always laundry waiting to be done at our house. ;) But I did a TON yesterday so it's just odds and ends right now. It'll wait another couple of days. :)

5. Can you pick objects up with your toes?

Yes! And Paul thinks it's the funniest thing. Most of the time I'll grab small things with my toes instead of bending over to pick them up - think clothes off the bathroom floor, small toys, etc. Weird, I know.
