Autumn in New York




I am discovering that autumn is easily one of my favorite seasons now that I am back in Buffalo.  The crisp cool air, colorful leaves, caramel apples, COLD cider (I don't like it hot), pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating, and football games at sunset have reminded me why I enjoyed the months of September, October, and November so much growing up here.  I have included some pictures of my autumn experiences thu far.

Who doesn't want their movies alphabetized?

Today is a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the temperature is in the mid 60's - basically, a perfect fall day in NY. Instead of being outside enjoying it, I decided that it would be a great day to organize. As most of you know, life with a newborn is pretty chaotic at times. I love every minute of it, but sometimes I feel like I don't even have time to do laundry, let alone put it away. I finally caught up on some of that last night while Mark & Stryder were watching the baseball playoffs. That felt great. But, today is the most fun task! I am organzing all of my parents movies. For those of you who don't know them, they love movies (especially my dad.) They are a mix of old black & white, wars & westerns, musicals, John Wayne and Elvis, Disney animation, modern romantic comedy, the Star Wars, LOTR, X-Men, Back to the Future trilogies, Cosby Show & A-Team tv collections, etc. Today, I am doing my best to alphabetize and sort them all according to category. I know that people might thing I am crazy, but I LOVE it!!! Ever since college I was teased for my love of having all movies and cds arranged alphabetically. But to me, it just makes sense to have them that way. How else can you find what you are looking for?

Anyway, I should get back to work...just wanted to share about one of my "passions". :)
