Five Random Things...Friday Part II

I think the random list is just going to have to happen when I remember it. Besides, I finished a book yesterday, and book reviews take precedence.

Anyways...

1. I love fall. I love lots of things about it; in particular, I love pumpkin desserts. But wouldn't you know it? I'm on a no junk food kick again, so this week, I haven't had any treats of any sort. Tomorrow is my cheat day. And you better believe I'm looking forward to some treats...in particular? Perhaps a pumpkin shake? Maybe?

2. It has been coooooold up here in these parts. There is now snow on the mountains. And while I think it is beautiful, I am not quite ready. I want to go on a hike up in the hills. But it might not happen now that the weather has taken such a turn. It's also has me craving hot chocolate - BUT see above!

3. I just got Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. Can't wait to dig into it.

4. I'm craving a scary story - a slightly scary story. But the problem is that my mom, dad and nephew are all out of town starting tomorrow. I'll be home alone for at least a few days. I think it is ill advised for me to get myself scared while I'm all by my lonesome because then I'm by myself imagining all sorts of horrors and things that go bump in the night. Why is it that another person in the house comforts you when you are afraid? Like bad things don't happen when there is more than one person home? Ghosts don't come around if you have company? Still, all in all, a bad choice to go freaking myself out.

5. I miss having a car. But Grandpa A is letting me borrow his truck while everyone is out of town. Super sweet of him, right? I think so. Grandpa A is the cutest grandpa alive. Anyway, it's nice to have a ride and such. But I really really like that it's a stick shift. I know I said I never wanted one again, and I probably don't because automatics are just easier, especially when it comes to traffic. But still, I sort of love driving one.

The end.
