I feel it coming on...the Holiday season!
Every single leaf from my solitary tree is blanketing the driveway. I think those leaves are magical because it's physically impossible to remove them entirely. No matter how many times we rake and sweep, there are just as many leaves the next time we go out. Are they multiplying? Procreating? There's a question!
And they get everywhere, like sand after a day at the beach. Every person who walks into my house tracks in leaves on their shoes. They're in my car... my laundry room...and the vacuum doesn't like to pick them up. It crushes and redistributes. Very annoying.
The cooler weather makes me want to cook.
This impedes my diet significantly. I am not one of those people who bakes, fortunately. Cathy does that, and I don't have any idea how she stays so slender.
I love to cook really good food. Then I have to eat three large helpings. And everyone knows that after a delicious meal, one must ingest ice cream to fill in the cracks. I am never going to lose weight. I need to find a man who appreciates a curvy cook!
The only real problem with the Holiday season is the expense. I always wish that I could shower people with gifts, and I really can't do that. People are so good to me, and I have such amazing friends. When I win the lottery, I am going to be the funnest gift-giver, Ever!
Since we can't spend a lot of money, we always focus on....guess what?.....the Food. I am doomed.

what you call curvy is better known as healthy in many cultures.....
You are my friend forever.
(You called me slender.)
I do LOVE to bake. A lot.
Oh, the food is so good this time of year... I'm thinking about Thanksgiving daily, I think... what sort of stuffing I want to make, and what side dishes, and what pies... yum.
Holidays! Food! They are really the same word cleverly disguised.
Seriously, I could have holidays without gifts, but without the food, and the gathering of friends and family that is part of that, they would be empty.
