idaho.

So I'm in Pocatello, Idaho at the moment. I'm out here meeting with a client for work. I really wasn't sure what to expect from Idaho, but the word that for some reason came to mind first was: cold. Guess what. It's not cold here. It's 90 degrees - actually warmer than it is in Tennessee!

Idaho also has some of the most bizarre topography I've ever seen. My team's travels took us from Nashville to Phoenix to Salt Lake City and then a car ride for several hours. The drive to Pocatello was  desert-ish, to say the least! I thought there would be mountains and rolling green hills. Not true. Not to say that Idaho isn't beautiful - it is...in it's own way!

It's been a long day of travel. I'm frankly ready to hit the hay, but I think some nourishment is in order first.

Here is what I imagined my Idaho outfit would need to be:

Guess I won't be needing the boots!

Happy Tuesday!

I would like to read this book:

I would like my desk to be adorable and organized like this:

I don't think any of those things are going to happen. Oh well. Today is still a good day!

Happy Thursday!

halloween.

My birthday is on October 31st, or as it's better known to everyone else, Halloween.

I'm kind of wishing I was still 8 years old so I could get away with sending out birthday party invitations from Rifle Paper Co. like this:

Also adorable? This:

And this:

Maybe I can still get away with it.

Happy Tuesday!

I literally don't think I could be more excited about this, Nerd that I am.

fall.

Goodness. I love fall. Name something about fall, and I love it.

I love the crisp air, school supplies, pumpkin, apples, colorful trees, scarecrows, hot drinks, boots, tights, sweaters, scarves, the color orange, corn mazes, bonfires, halloween...really, I could go on forever.

Here's the sad news: even though it's September, it's not fall in Chattanooga yet. It was a not-so-crisp 87 degrees today. Much too warm for tights and bonfires. It's slightly devastating.

But I'm doing my best to transition into the season even though the weather outside is not wanting to cooperate.

I'm working on some more crochet projects! I have a friend who will be having a baby in the spring [therefore = baby blanket!] and I'm stocking up on hand warmers and computer cases to give as gifts [sorry friends, now you know what you're getting...] I also just frankly want to put some yarn in a vase...

My boyfriend and I are going to see Sufjan Stevens with our dear friends, the Morrises in Atlanta. We aren't going until November, but the tickets just came in the mail and made me very excited.

In other news, I'm not very good at ice skating.

Hooray for fall!
