My Fall 2014 Bucket List



It's fall ya'll!

Okay. Now that we've established that I'm a Texan...

I have to say, fall is my absolute favorite season of the year (winter is a close second). I know. I'm weird. But give me a break. Living in southeast Texas, we spend most of the year hovering somewhere warm and sweltering. So, the first inkling we get of a cool breeze in the air (usually by mid-October), we're all about the long sleeves and Uggs down here. But more importantly, we... well I... look forward to certain "Fallicious" things, like welcoming back all things pumpkin (coffee, cupcakes, pancakes, you name it!).

But there are a few things I'd like to do or at least revisit that symbolize fall to me:

  • The Texas State Fair (growing up in the DFW area, it was a family tradition)
  • A really good, crowd-screaming, band-dancing high school football game (I miss the Friday Night Lights of my teen years)
  • Visit a local pumpkin patch (did I mention that I celebrate pumpkins?)
  • Go to a Houston Texans home game (they're my favorite NFL team)
  • Attend a murder mystery dinner theater (the longer nights just add to the color of it all)
  • Having an indulgent lunch at this trendy restaurant called Low Brow (I hear they've mastered all kinds of ways to use crushed Cheetos in gourmet dishes)
  • Have fried turkey for Thanksgiving (haven't had it in years and I feel like I'm long overdue)
I could go on, but I need to save some energy (and calories) for Christmas! LOL!
