The First Day of Autumn!!!

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN!!!

It's officially Autumn and that makes me super excited. It's in the stores! The best brownies in the world are also celebrating and I'm loving it! (Little Debbies are my fave brownies).

There are also pumpkins in the stores and I was so tempted to buy one! Can't wait to carve one! I think I'll make mine scary this year! :)

***Outcome of the favorite fall holiday poll***

Readers voted and Thanksgiving won by one vote over Halloween and Veterans day taggled behind barely. Apparently no one really likes Labor Day! Poor Labor Day!

Metro Fashion! Part 1

Its monday again and I rode the metro. Over the last week or so I've noticed the major fashion trends of my beloved metro people. I have seen the shortest shorts and the tightest pants on a guy, and about every decade's major fashions. ASU shirts are everywhere too. (Sometimes I'm in one!) College students tend to be the trendy ones but sometimes they wear interesting things.

Go-go boot sighting! (my picture was messed up, but they looked like these) I don't know if these are coming back (I hope not), but a student was sporting them hardcore! And college boys always wear stripes and I don't know why...

Fashion on the light rail is so diverse and I think my fave outfit this week was a man in a biker outfit (and I tried to get a pic, but the guy got off too soon...dang!). I need to work on my stealth-picture-taking-skills more! The guy's outfit was dark blue spandex to the ankles, a green and orange bike shirt, a helmet, and biking goggles. He stood out! He also had sweat bands around his wrists and a red water backpack. The best part of his outfit was that he didn't have a bike, but he was prepared :)

Also, the men in blue. Security stand out with their blue collars, radios, badges and card swipy things.

Part 2 coming! Metro accessories!!!

This is a drawer at my Dad's work! It's filled with Oreos and an astronaut pig. He's a high school seminary teacher....why the pig? I don't know, but now you know a bit about my Dad!

Jewelry & Shoes, YAY!

I forgot to blog about this, but when my sister was here from VA we beaded and made jewelry. This is what I made. The earrings were my sister, Steph's idea! She made an identical set for herself.

I went thrift store shopping with Ashlee this week and she found me these great shoes. I really like them and they were only $5 and in very decent shape. They look awesome! I love shoes!!!

I'm pretty sure I was a foot model in another life! :)

P.S. There is rain in AZ! Love it!

Metro Monday on Tuesday

Busy day yesterday so Metro Monday was pushed to a Tuesday. Interesting and awkward moments happen on the train everyday, especially during the busy times. When the train gets packed and people are constantly shuffling on and off. I usually get a seat because a lot of people get off when I get on, so I can observe the human behavior a lot better. When the shuffling is happening awkward things happen. Everybody is trying to move out of the way with two goals. Don't get touched and move as little as possible. It makes me giggle to watch them squirm and cringe when someone brushes by them. Oh metro people...they make me smile.

Also, when you are on the train, people will stare at you. Sometimes just normal glances or in creepy ways. It will make you uncomfortable and I learned that the best way to deal with it is to make them more uncomfortable. I stare back. Usually more intensely then they do and then they usually stop looking at me or go to the other end of the train. Works like a charm. Of course, you have to know who it is you are dealing with or they might just start laughing and then talk to you...that could be a problem. Still learning how to deal with that. I'll keep you updated.

Sometimes I talk back or I put my ear phones in before its too late. All depends.
