Even though it's about halfway through the month of October, (scary! time goes by way too fast) I just realized how much I love this month. And of course, I've compiled a list of reasons why.
1. Halloween--I love this holiday! Although I secretly wish I was 11 years old again, tromping around the streets of Paris with Laura in our bellbottoms and platform shoes. What good memories. When we were little, my family and I used to decorate the house with fake cobwebs and pots of dry ice and water. I love Halloween decorations.
The good thing about my apartment is, all the cobwebs are natural! We basically live in a haunted cellar. I'm afraid that I don't have to do much decorating around this place to get it to look spooky.
Can I just tell you how much I love carving pumpkins? We got together with Sue and Ryan last year on Halloween, ate dinner, and carved pumpkins. Here's some pictures:
Here's Mark's pumpkin. I love its evil eyes. Not too bad for his first one ever, huh?
This is my disaster of a pumpkin. Apparently I was going for some sort of Egyptian Cat. Weird, I know. There's whiskers and a mouth, but they wouldn't show up on my camera phone.
Ryan carves the best pumpkins every year! This pumpkin cracks me up.
I've always wanted to go trick-or-treating in Logan. Can you imagine all the candy that you'd get? It makes me want to dress up and try to pass myself off as a 12-13 year old. Do you think I could do it? ;)
2. Unbeknownst to me, but October is Vegetarian Awareness Month! Although I'm sure there's a awareness month for everything, it makes me excited that there is a month for this. So for this post I'd like to give a shout out to some of my favorite celebrities, some of whom I had no idea were veggies!
Doris Day
Gladys Knight
And some well-known vegans:
Joaquin Phoenix
And last but not least, good ol' Paul McCartney.
3. As I'm sure you are all aware, it is also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I am thankful that this is becoming more well-known and that many more women are able to detect it earlier, even in the case of my mother. I love that many companies are coming out with Pink Ribbon products. Thanks for helping to educate and spread the word!
4. And one of my favorite reasons...
Ahh...I love the leaves of fall.
