Or maybe I'm just edgey because I have a frozen core.
...
That wasn't any sort of wishy-washy psychological commentary on my life. I'm actually physically freezing to the point where my skin hurts. We camped out this weekend and despite 24 hours of rain, it was a good time. The rain was light and misty most of the time so it felt very Fall. Very Halloween. And I was physically fine the entire time...slept like a baby zombie in my new sleeping bag.
It was nice to see this before departing...
When we returned to Castle Grayskull, it all hit. We were cold, wet, and filthy. I took the best shower of my life and pajamas never felt so good. I made cheese soup, crawled back in my bag (on top of my bed...far better than on the ground), and tried to warm myself from the inside out. I think I'm still thawing out.
Fall is here. October is here. It's time to get my paint on.
I haven't used my new art room at all and it's my favorite room in the house. I've got paints, brushes, canvas, and an on-going list of things to paint: Stephanie's stomach-eating girl (no longer a uterus since we found out they're useful!), bacon & eggs to send to California, a ginourmous Castle Grayskull, Hissem's Linda Von, a shark eating a cupcake for my neice, and who can remember what else?? What do I want to do just to DO??
Oooh, Alphabastards!!!
And I keep thinking about black on stripes. Need to take that from head to canvas.
I can't wait to be slathered in acrylics, and not just because that's when Todd finds me most attractive! Plus, I think I'm going to give water colors a whirl. I've never been super awesome at them but it's time to step out of my comfort zone and learn something new. And I'll get on that just as soon as I'm done being uber-chilly.

Way to ring in fall. I used to camp in the autumn and LOVED it. It always totally re-awoke all of my senses. Oh, and thanks for planting the cheese soup craving seed in my head, btw.
It's a tasty fall treat. It's a little different than other cheese soups but I love it and it's simple.
Fill a soup pot full of water, peel and dice 6-8 taters and bring to a boil. Add egg farvel (hard to find so I use any very tiny pasta like the stars or the little dots) and cook. Add 12 pieces of American cheese and one block of cream cheese. Salt and pepper as desired. Done.
Gets a little thicker after being in the fridge but it's still awesome!!
