#61 - Something borrowed

It was hard to find something that was borrowed to fit into today's theme. We don't really borrow things and so I had to search the house. I came up with this... a book a that I borrowed from my oldest brother.

The book is Rant by Chuck Palahniuk. I've tried reading it a few times, but it's been very difficult for me to get through it. It's not my type of book I guess. He told me I should read it, so that's why he gave it to me.

I really need to get it back to him. I don't see myself finishing this book. I might give it one more chance, but I don't know if I can.

#60 - Blue

I have so many blue things in my house. This was the first thing to grab my attention. It's a tie blanket that I received from my little sister in the sorority a few years ago. On one end it says "Big Sis Bridget" (pictured) and at the other end it says "Little Sis Gillian".

I love this blanket and use it almost every day. Samus the cat loves it too. In fact, she's laying on it right now.

#59 - Something old

This is the handkerchief that I carried on my wedding day. It was my mom's and she gave it to me to keep. I think it fits nicely with the something old as well as the something blue. I'm glad I had it that day in my hands and I will keep it for as long as possible and possibly hand it down to one of my future children.

#58 - 5 day forecast

Here's the upcoming forecast. It's blue skies for the week! I know it's not a very good photo, but it's one of a computer screen.

It's actually going to be unseasonably warm which is nice for fall. Hopefully the cold doesn't come too soon.

#57 - Favorite Candle... for now

This past summer I bought this candle. It was a great summer candle. It's a Yankee Candle. The fragrance is Juicy Watermelon. I could only burn it for a few hours because the smell would permeate through out the house. I've put it away for now because it's now fall and the scent isn't quite right for the season.

I'll probably not buy Yankee Candles any more... not because they aren't good candles but because I'm now going to be a Partylite Consultant. It's a direct sales company that sells candles and home decor among other things. I'm excited to start selling. I should be getting my start kit soon, so I can start holding parties.

The Martini glass is one of their new seasonal products. It's called Scents of Illumination Martini. It has a candy cane scent. You put a tealight in side and it heats up the gel, releasing the scent.

#56 - In the Hoodies

I love being able to wear sweatshirts! Here are just a few of mine. I believe I have about 8 or 9. I have them throughout the house so I can always grab one when I need one.

The second photo is of my favorite one and also my oldest one. I got this sweatshirt when I was 16 in Germany in 2002. It's one of my favorite souvenirs that I got from my trip to Europe. I hope to put it into my tee-shirt quilt that I'm going to start making soon.

#55 - Signs of Fall

Here are my photos of fall. The first one is off of our deck and of trees in the neighbors yard. You can see the trees starting to change colors.

The second photo is of all the leaves on our deck. Ed is going to have lots of fun sweeping the deck off.

The third photo is also off of our deck in another direction. A lot of the leaves are already falling and lots have turn yellow.
