Not so Wordless Wednesday
Hello, my name is Heather and I'm a Fall-aholic.
Maybe it's because I love all things pumpkin, perhaps because I'm an "Autumn" and look great in the colors of the season, or even that Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday (no gifts to buy, and I love to cook...).
It doesn't matter. I'm addicted. I recognize my problem but refuse to change. In fact, I only shop with my favorite enabler.
"Stop me", I told her as I loaded my arms with a new pumpkin door mat and wreath at Target this weekend.
"Yeah, right" came the sympathetic reply.
Unfortunately, I live in a region where "fall" means that I can go hiking at ten in the morning and not completely melt, just get a nice tan. It's still going to break 100 degrees a few times this week.
So, I'm pushing the season a little. I dragged out the decorations, old and new and hung falling jelly "leaves" on the front window. I've indulged in Coffee Bean's new "Pumpkin Pie" Iced Blended (SO worth the caloric damage). I even got fall hair.
Yes, fall hair...I told you I had a problem.
The jury is still out...I happen to like my highlights, but I'm enjoying the change. I think I'm more enjoying the fact that between some recent (small!) weight loss, the new hair and the fun new specs (which I LOVE), that people I haven't seen in a while are doing a double take.
What do you think?
Happy Autumn!

The pumkin wreath was a must have, and the rug was too adorable!! I, for one, love the fall hair! But then I am your favorite enabler!! (thus the reason we aren't supposed to SHOP together!! It goes both ways!!) I'm impressed you had time to blog, what with all the time my neurosis has taken out of your last two days!! Thanks for the hand-holding, it means more than you'll ever know!!
I *love* the specs!!!! But can't tell from the pic below about the highlights. Hey... as I've told you before, you are the ONLY woman I know that has gotten HOTTER with each baby. Figure it out, bottle it and sell it. After I buy enough for myself, I'll help you promote it and we'll both be rich!!
Love ya,
Laurie
Great picture of the three of you...and I love Fall, too (not because I like to cook, though ;-)
Have a GREAT weekend.
Heather,
I think you look GREAT in whatever you wear.
Don and David got their tastes in beautiful women-for-wives from me. (I was -- and still am -- totally taken by Mom's looks!)
Love you.
Dad
