Ladies and gentleman, I would like to introduce LIST OF TEN TUESDAYS!!! (Shout out to Bryce for giving me my inspiration!) FYI, there's really no rhyme or reason to List of Ten Tuesday - in fact, I reserve the right to write a List of Ten on ANY day of the week, or include more or less than ten items in any given list! And ALSO, if I have other, more pressing matters to write about on a particular Tuesday, I may then choose to exercise my right to DO WHATEVER I WANT CAUSE THIS IS MY BLOG!!!! ;)
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the first in what could be a very long line of fabulous Tuesday Tens!
(in no particular order)
(because ten just wasn't enough)
(and by the way, did you know tomorrow [Wednesday] is the first day of Fall? You do now!)
1. The First Crisp Day
Forgive me for beginning with the obvious.
Us Texans haven't really experienced this one yet, but believe you me, when we do, we ALL bust out the scarves and sweaters.
It's actually quite pathetic.
2.On that note, Hats and Boots and Scarves
(Oh my!)

I'm aware that this picture sucks, but it's the only one I have where I'm wearing a hat, boots, AND a scarf. 3. Hot Apple Cider Totally my fave thing about Fall - I kid you not.  To make some really amaaazing cider, fill a crock pot or another large pot with store-bought cider, then add a whole, large orange stuck with 5 or 6 whole cloves. Throw in a few cinnamon sticks and then let it simmer (covered) a couple hours; before long, a g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s aroma will fill your entire home. Set some cider on before a party and all your guests will be salivating as soon as they walk through your front door!!! 4. Cuddling Because isn't cuddling SO much more pleasurable when it's cold outside? My moods are easily influenced by my body temperature, and consequently my husband and I don't do a whole lot of cuddling during the summer months. He grudgingly calls me a "little furnace" and always reminds me of how much he looks forward to fall when body heat from cuddling doesn't turn me into a complete crank! PS: We DO have AC, but the bill would be about $2000 a month if we kept it as cold as I'd like! 5. Seeing Stuff Like THIS At Grocery Stores:  Good gourd! (Sorry, I couldn't resist) |
6. Fall Baking/Cooking
Another obvious one, but hello? YUM!
7. The Turning of the Leaves
Again, no way has this has happened in Texas yet (and when it does, it sure doesn't compare to the northeast). But we can dream.

This was in New Joisey 8. Bubble Baths Because just when you thought a bubble bath simply could not be improved upon, here comes a chilly autumn day... slipping into that hot, sudsy water could NOT be more divine! |

| Say no more. |
9. Fall Scents at Bath & Body Works
Does this really need much expanding upon? I think not.
But Click here to find out how I really feel about Bath & Body Works!
10. Soup
Because somehow, delicious soups and chilis just don't have the same appeal when it's 103 degrees outside. A few of my favorites?
Plain old Campbell's Tomato Soup (with fresh or dried Basil added), chili like the first one listed here (sub or add whatever you'd like; that's the beauty of chili, you can do whatever you want!), or Potato Soup like the one pictured below (from Cooking Light magazine).
11. Family Get-togethers
If your family is anything like mine, you're sprinkled all over the continent and tend to only see each other once or twice a year around the holidays.
Another fabulous thing about fall is getting to catch up with those loved ones you don't always get to see!!
12. Finally, and this one is most obvious,
Starbucks Holiday Drinks
No caption necessary.
Hope this list gave you something to get excited about! Can you think of anything I missed?? Leave me a comment with your own ideas (or just tell me how awesome mine are). Have a great Tuesday and a have a happy first day of fall tomorrow!!!
