There is already an inflated pouffy arch bedecked with Halloweeny bats on the next block. My immediate reaction on first seeing it was "For the love of pumpkin spice, Too. Freaking. Soon."

And right on the heels of that, "F__k me, it has been a scary year, y'all do you."

Pumpkin Spice

I had to laugh. Love it that non judgmental thinking won the day. I am guilty of already consuming 2 pumpkin spice lattes in the last couple of weeks. At Statbucks no less. I have been sinning right and left. 🙄

Statbucks? Hee! It's me, Saz, btw.

Oh, I picked up a PSL the first day it went on sale this year. ;) A Starbucks stop has become my reward to myself for going to the office, there being one in the same strip mall as the department. (And me being too much of a Taiwanese peasant to pay for on-campus parking, which means taking two shuttles from the free lot on the other side of downtown, so it's all too easy to tell myself I deserve a treat . . . )
