September begins

[pomtzu]

School is back in session
Cooler temps are on the way - thank goodness
Comfort food, baking, and crock pot cooking
Time to check the cool/cold weather clothes
And the dreaded - think about holiday shopping

I was in Sam's on Friday (it was still August), and they have all of their Christmas items out already! Decorations, specialty gifts, wrapping paper, etc. Ridiculous!!!!

And crock pot cooking??? - I'm doing that today since the grill is out of gas and the weather is crappy and rainy and humid too. I tossed the country style spare ribs in, poured a concoction of brown sugar, molasses, onion, garlic, and a splash of lemon juice over them, and it will simmer all day. When it's done, toss a salad, and open a can of Bush's baked beans sweet mesquite flavor, and my "cooking" is done. How lazy - I mean, easy - is that???

I have already had my September 'back to school' nightmare -- I arrive at college, no class list, no idea what room I need to be in at what time, have to stand in line and wait and wait -- 2 hours later I get to the front, they close for 15 minutes for coffee; when they reopen they hand me my class list -- no room assignments so I have to go find another line to get THAT List -- end up missing the first week of class (hey, it's a nightmare, all this takes days to complete, he hee). I have been out of school over 34 YEARS and I still have some sort of back to school nightmare.

I am always 'surprised' September is here; how could summer be over already? I have a thousand more summer time fun things to do! Summer is my all time fave season. Yes it is nice sleeping with the windows open and snuggling under a cover again.
