Punkin Time(lord)!

Can you believe, in the nearly five years I've lived in this apartment, I've never carved a pumpkin here?



Me neither.



Sister decided it was time for that streak to end. Just in time for a Who-y Halloween.

Yes, she's also a gladiator. Woman of many talents. 

We sketched out our designs and began to carve. 

Little dog was very interested in the proceedings-especially nibbling on the discard pile. 

I opted for a happy-dappy smile, since I'm taking this to a friend's house for Halloween night. We're passing out candy together, and this will likely be the only decor present so I wanted it to be kid-friendly. 

Sister, on the other hand, went the Awesome route. 

Yep, it's a TARDIS. A Whovian Halloween!

All lit up!

Bring on the trick-or-treaters!! 

The Blue Box

"It's bigger on the inside!"



Despite his general bemusement at my Who-obsession, look what my totally awesome husband brought home for me from his business trip:

My very own TARDIS, which conveniently doubles as a nightlight. 

Yep, I'm a lucky gal. 

Currently...

Cooking: ALL THE FALL FOODS!!! Seriously guys, I don't know when I've been so motivated to cook all the things. I'm going nuts over squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, apples...holy moly. At least it's good for us (?) because we're eating lots of seasonal, homemade stuff. Except when it's cookies. Especially when it's cookies?



Planning: The 5th annual Oktoberfest!! Well, not quite, but mostly I'm astonished that this is our 5th year. It's an awesome day of apple picking and eating of delicious foods. And Oktoberfest beer, of course.



Excited about: The crisp fall air. It just furthers my belief that we all need to be simmering apples into sauce, pumpkins into pie, and sweet potatoes into soup. I'm in heaven.



Watching: (I purposely saved this one for last so I can geek out without losing all of my readers right away) DR. WHO. Oh.my.gosh. Words cannot describe the level of fandom I have achieved in an astonishingly short time. This is my first time through the show, and I cannot stop watching (and really, why would you?). My favorite doctor so far is 10, although I've only seen 9 and 10. When I'm finished with the new series, I'm going to go back and watch all of the old ones as well, but I knew I'd want to be up on the current ones, so I started there.


What more is there to say about the Doctor? You just need to go watch it. Like, now. It's amazing, and it will consume your life in the best possible way.
