i love this season!

if you dont already know this about me, let me just exclaim: i love the season of fall!!

i know i know, many people hate it cuz it marks the end of fun, warm summer at the pool, beach, of wearing sun dresses or short shorts, of checking out cute topless sporty boys and their ooh-la-la, hello-nurse, gimme-a-bear-hug arms and chest. i love summer too cuz i love being outside playing in the water and being active (and al fresco dates with friends and strangers), but i *love* the fall. it made me happy all week when i come home; the trees that line both sides of street sort of lean in and the colorful, multi-hued leaves just give such gorgeous background and foreground to everything. i just love walking on the crunchy fallen leaves or kicking them like a playful pup or sniffing the autumn breeze!

and i have been stressed out all week and having severe self-image reduction problems-- so being happy for 1 minute as i come home to my street says a lot!!! :)

i sleep so well in this weather; the distinct fall smell and crisp air in the morning give me such jolt to get set for the day. though unfortunately, 10 minutes in the boring class can take that all away... :( anywho, it's just a great season for all the good things: anticipation for the holidays just around the corner, appreciation for love of friends and family cuz everything is so beautiful, thinkings of cuddles, sleepy snugglies, and warm candles, all the good food (though i have no time to feed myself anymore)! mmmm....

what is your favorite season, and why? mine would be fall and summer but with very different reasons.

ok, so on the less emotional side of things. tonight was apparently "boys night" at sbx. this one lady customer pointed out to me, "hey is this like boys' night or something? there's like 3 girls in the cafe." i sorta looked around, and i was like, "oh yeah, i guess you're right, there are A LOT of guys in the cafe this evening." how funny! and it was so interestingly true! many of them were quite good looking- the pseudo nerdy, yet still jock atheletic metro look that i enjoy. poor eric and i were oogling at them. sigh... speak of more sigh... i had a young doctor phil sighting the other night. no, this is not the tv dr. phil that we do not care about. this is the dr. phil that used to visit sbx quite frequrently that flirted with every decent looking girl and that i heard hooked up with coke vicki (blah!). i think the last time i saw him was like a yr ago when i was going to matisse! this time i only saw him crossing the street as i drove by that same area and he was carrying groceries on the way home. hehehehhe... he still has the shaggy dark hair, the contemplative expression, but i think he gained wt! HA! too bad i dont know his last name to steal his DEA#. i wonder if i should run into him again, actually in passing, on the street, if i should ask if he's attached and fish for a martini. hmmph! but then again, apparently men strangers that are attached seem to have an unsolicitated interet in me... im scared.
