fall notes

i have a startling confession to make. okay, not so startling. this is actually probably less of a confession and more of a "hey, i noticed." why am i making grand pronouncements? there's no need for that. i have this horrible habit of drinking a lot in the fall. i don't know what it is exactly that prompts me to buy actual hard liquor and drink it liberally when the weather turns. this is kind of fun the night i do it, but the next day is usually shot in the face. dammit. last night whiskey ginger's were my best friend, today i did little more than eat half a loaf of sourdough bread and drink massive amounts of water. i had so many plans! of course, most of them i made while under the influence, so it's probably good i didn't get most of them done. of course, the nap i took this afternoon/early evening was delightful, but i have this feeling like maybe i won't sleep so well tonight. when i had two days in a row off weekends, this tendency of mine to drink a lot when the leaves change color was not a big deal. i spent one day recuperating, and one getting shit done, but the random days off means i get nothing done. nothing!

i did make it to the fabric store, where i picked up some tulle for my costume and the premier issue of craft magazine. i've been looking forward to this for so long, and honestly, i was seriously disappointed. it was kind of the same-old crafty stuff i've been seeing on-line and in other magazines for months, and the $15 price tag is ridiculous. if i had actually realized how much it was while i was throwing it in my cart, i would not have bought it. it was just right there by the checkout! and it doesn't look like a $15 magazine. i'm sorry, i wish i had a better review of it, but i don't. the blog is good, not all the projects in it sucked, but overall it was kind of a stinker.
