Fall things that make me smile :)

 

We made it everyone! It is finally the best time of the year! The fall season! The crisp morning, the firepit evenings, the football season, the chili, ALL OF IT IS FINALLY HERE! I have been waiting for this since the "Holiday Season" ended and now all I can do is sit, smile, and enjoy the moments we have. 

Here are the top 5 things about fall that everyone should be excited for...

5.) Weather

The fall weather is better than anything else to experience. Crisp cool mornings and firepit evenings? What is better than that? Winter is always brutal with it being so cold shivering at any point when you are outside and summer do not even get me started... My AC is on full blast at home and in my car at all times, and when I go outside, it is like I am walking through lava. It is always a bad day to wear a t shirt with those sweat stains running down. But I do not have to worry about either those for the next couple of months. Hoodie in the morning on my walks, and hoodies as I sit outside with the family, either way, day or night, I am smiling with a hoodie on. 

4.) Football

Whether I am at the game, on the couch, at a sports bar, at my friend's house, or at Chili's, I have somewhere to sit, something to do, and something to eat, while it is at football season. It's quiet at a family gathering and already asked all the questions you preprepared to ask for the conversation to keep going? Great, you can talk about how Alabama football is out of their prime. You can be a die-hard fan, you can only watch your team or not even know what is going on in the game, if you are at an event, you will have a drink in one hand and a wing in the other, it doesn't matter who is playing, you are living your best life. During the fall season, you got football games on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, THAT IS 5 DAYS OUT OF THE WEEK! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!!! It could be the NFL, it could be college football, it could be high school football, it could even be pop warner football, football is football and those are days where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. 



3.) Food

All my life, I have been very specific of when to eat what types of foods. There are seasonal foods that I just have to unfortunately have to wait until it is that time to eat them. I can only have Chinese food under 60 degrees, chili can only be cooked when the leaves on the ground, and when it becomes fall season, it is a bad season to be a store-bought sugar cookie. The fall season food options are unlike any other, obviously you can eat these foods whenever the heck you want, but for some reason, it just tastes better in the crisp fall weather. Mac and cheese, chili, sloppy joes, tortellini soup, are just a few of the many I love to have during this season. Do not even get me started with the Thanksgiving options we get to have also... there are unlimited options with the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits, and the desserts, apple pie, cookies, cakes. The "Fall 20's" are going to be kicking in soon, and all I will say is, make sure you get your steps in everyday, because you will be eating nonstop for these next couple of months. 


2.) Fall Activities

Especially in the Fall... you get to experience activities for BOTH Halloween and Thanksgiving... Double the fun! You got the best of the Halloween season... scary movies, pumpkin carving, ghost tour, trick-or-treating, even going on a corn maze. It will be filling up every one of your weekends with your family for the whole month of October. There will never be a boring moment. Then you have Thanksgiving season when you go apple picking, family games during Thanksgiving, football games on Thanksgiving, and much more. The only thing I will say, is that nobody can say they have "nothing" to do during the fall season for activities. 


1.) Halloween

THE HOLIDAY OF ALL HOLIDAYS!!!! IT IS HERE!!! TIME FOR SOME HALLOWEEN!!! We got the Halloween movies... ONE FOR EVERY DAY STARTING OCTOBER 1ST UNTIL HALLOWEEN NIGHT! We got the scary movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Jason, Leatherface, and much more. Then you can go to kid friend Halloween movies like Halloweentown, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, and Casper. The options are UNLIMITED. This is just the 30 days before Halloween night actually happens. Being able to give out candy as an adult and seeing everyone all happy, or you can be lucky enough to bring your child or younger family member to watch them as they trick-or-treat, or even think about the younger days when you were younger and you got to trick-or-treat yourself... I do not remember seeing anything but smiling faces as you pick up candy and put them in an old pillowcase getting ready to go home and trade with your friends and family to get the top candies of your choice. It is a bad month to be an AMC channel during the month of October because it will be on 24/7 and you know what will not be in my hand... candycorn, because those are terrible.

Day 1 of Lions Offseason... is this our year actually?

Image
  Alright, I'll admit it. This year was one of the greatest years to be a Detroit Lions fan. There were multiple times I whispered to myself as Jared Goff takes a knee to end the game, "We don't usually win these games... we blow it everytime." It almost felt like we were in charge of bully ball and I feel like we never get to experience that feeling. The problem that we have now is... was this the best we could ever do? A surprise playoff run one year and then a #1 seed but get upsetted in the playoffs the next? Here are the major concerns I have about next year... 1.) John Morton We were blessed with one of the most incredible minds in football history... Ben Johnson, thank you for your service. He had some of the craziest plays, trick plays here, trick plays, there, the first ever fake fumble play action pass. I do not think that will ever happen again with the excitement for a deep touchdown at least once a game. But if the Lions keep this offensive team, fans cha...

Trophies for Everyone I guess

  This may be the craziest thing I have ever seen. The Florida State football team received rings basically saying how they would've been national champions if the committee did what they were supposed to do. Yes, I understand that they were undefeated at the end of the regular season.... but that is just nuts. Through that season, They only beat Boston College by 2, beat a Clemson that had their worst season in years by 7, Miami by a touchdown, and struggled against Louisville in the ACC Championships. So they had 4 games where they did not blow out teams that they should have, but still think they could've been national champions. I understand when they played against Georgia everyone left, but saying you are a football champion when looking at your season results you lost by 60 is just absurd. They have had a tremendous season this year and they really should be proud, but to say anything about what ifs... is just crazy to me.  When thinking about some "What ifs.."...

ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE IRISH

Image
  There is one day every year where everyone wears green and brags to everyone saying, "I am Irish just for today!" While holding a dark beer in their hand. It is a day where people go out to bars, friend's houses, or the street, wearing green, celebrating, and being full of smiles! But there is always a couple of questions people do not know... When did this amazing celebration start? Why do we wear green? What can we do to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? The celebration started in the United States on March 17th, 1737 in Boston where they celebrated and honored St. Patrick with the Irish people in the area. They celebrated with wearing green and drinking. People all around bars and streets are wearing just green all around and people wonder, "Why do we have to wear green? Why wear the most challenging color to find an outfit for when out?" And the answer to this is, it is a tradition and to be wearing a piece of the shamrock. People have been very creative ov...
