I really need to make a list of all the “Three Things About Thursday” songs I’ve ever done. When I try to come up with an idea every week, I can’t remember if I already did it or if I just thought about it. A couple of times I even wrote the post before realizing I’d already written about it before, haha.
Today is a perfect fall day. It’s been cloudy with some drizzle on and off all day, and the temperature is perfect for wearing a hoodie and jeans. This is my favorite time of year by far, and it never fails to lift my spirits. Since today really feels like fall, it put me in the fall mood…so I thought I’d write about three things I’m hoping to do this season.
1. Burying a time capsule with my family.
I bought a time capsule a long time ago (literally, probably four years ago) and we still haven’t gotten things together to bury it. Since my kids are so big, I don’t want to waste another year without putting together this time capsule; I think it will be something fun for us to do together. I have no idea when we will open it; We’ll have to come up with a date or event, but it’s fun to think about what we can put there!
2. Watch football.
This is something I never in a million years expected I would be interested in! Jeanie taught me the basics over the summer and when I saw my first game a couple of weeks ago, I really got into it. I’ve watched a couple more games since then and found myself acting like a “real” football fan: covering my eyes (but watching a little) at the really stressful parts, yelling “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” jumping with excitement and, being me, crying a bit when a rookie got his first touchdown in the NFL.
I’m writing this while waiting for the Lions game to start, in fact! Jerry and Noah went to a wrestling event and Eli is at work. I find it very fun to be home alone and *voluntarily* watch football. I’ve lost my fucking mind! Ha ha ha.

3. Go pick apples.
I feel like I’m probably the only person in Michigan who has never picked apples in an orchard (or maybe I have and I just don’t remember?). I know Jerry would love to go and we will. force Invite the children to go too. And of course, I romanticize the idea of making applesauce, baking an apple pie for my dad, and maybe making a vegan apple pie.
I wish we had this fall weather all year round. I hope we have many of these days this fall!
