Luckily, I found it before I left for work, so I didn't have the embarrassment of the undies falling to the floor on the train....
I did that once and they fell out in the middle of class. It was a big class, though, so only the girl sitting next to me noticed.
Last night the husband of mine said "I like this thing you're doing, where you cook." I probably should have replied, "It's to thank you for always doing the dishes," because he does, even when he's the one who cooked, but instead I said, "Yeah, as I was eating Cheetos and Twix for lunch I realized maybe I should eat something for my meals besides bread and crackers."
Last night: corn muffins (instant from mix, whee!) and vegetarian chili (tomatoes, red kidney beans, grilled peppers, corn).
If you want crisp cold mornings and cool afternoons you should live somewhere it rarely gets hot. Then you won't have to wait for autumn for it to be true. I've never waited for autumn for hot chocolate and don't see why caramel apples are seasonal, so that's no pull for me.
Please don't talk about love tonight
you're welcome.
It's gray outside. Gray and cold. And it gets dark early. I want summer back.

I dunno. I like distinct seasons. For example, just when I start to get sick of winter, spring arrives.
That was the freaky think about San Francisco weather to me - no distinct seasons. (Except for it being cooler and rainy during "winter").
I drink hot chocolate in the middle of summer in the high desert. In fact, I need more hot chocolate now, but I don't do the grocering anymore, so I never end up with any. It's not something I remember to put on the list (ice creem sandwichs!) which is too bad, because the SO does pretty good about coming home with whatever I've asked for. I think he's a little baffled with what I'm doing with all that plain yogurt, but he buys it.
I still love autumn, but not here. I miss midwestern autumn. Here it's just weird, windy and occasionally warm and occasionally cold. I much prefer winter here. But that's mostly because of our passive solar design house. It's so lovely in winter, flooded with light and warmth and cozy and protected but letting you look out over the snow covered cedars.
Random Bjork fact: when she was 14 she formed an all girl punk band named Spit and Snot. God, that's awesome.
As if the world needed another reason to love on Bjork. Rock.
I hate American Apparel because everyone uses them for their t-shirts and they run ridiculously small. I mean, I'm not crazy tiny or anything, but when I can't fit into an XL women's t-shirt, something is wrong.
Dana- I thought of you last night when I heard the most horrible rehearsal of a musical revue that included songs from Assasins. I think very few people should attempt the part of Samuel Byck with the rather off key "where's my prize-- I want my prize". Certainly not these college students.

Pfft. You know I've lived all over the country: Oregon, Florida, Ohio, Boston, LA, SF. Canada too. Only Ohio has four classic distinct seasons.
In Boston it's like autumn from September into early December. Then it's Winter all the way into April. Then you get a couple weeks of rain and mud and then it's muggy and overcast and yucky in the summer. Spring is hardly even there in Boston! It lasts like two weeks.
Anywhere North or South of Ohio is going to have a very different set of seasonal associations than is commonly portrayed.
Seasons in San Francisco: Spring (which starts in February), First Summer (May to mid June), Foggy Time (July and August); First Fall - September; Second Summer - October; Second Fall - November until...; Rainy and Dark - December and January.
There are also very distinct seasons for allergy sufferers here, including Those Fucking Developers Only Put In Male Trees, and Time of the Sneeze Inducing Fungus, as well as the more usual Hay Fever exacerbations.
