Ah, yes, Fall—the time of year when all-things-pumpkin (& pumpkin spice) appear. :cheer:

Not that I’m complaining; I happen to love pumpkin as much as the next person.  I could eat pumpkin pie 24/7, as long as it was spicy enough. :squirrel2:

But since I can technically get pumpkin pie any time of year, its seasonal appearance doesn’t thrill me nearly as much as this:

That’s right—Fall is not just pumpkin season, but Count Chocula season! :dancin:

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned my love of & mild obsession with Count Chocula before or not.  I haven’t had it in a reealllly long time because I was pretending to be an adult & eating more grown-up cereals like Kix or Rice Krispies. :snowball:

But then I gave in to temptation & bought some Lucky Charms…which is apparently a gateway cereal, because the next thing I knew, I was searching for Count Chocula like it was a dropped contact lens. :shocked:  Never did find it, though, & a bit of research informed me that Count Chocula—as well as its sister (or would it be brother?) cereals, Boo Berry & Franken Berry—are seasonal.  Available at only a certain time of year.

I do not approve of this, in case you were wondering. :windy:

But since they are available only once a year—right now, as a matter of fact!—you can imagine my reaction when I spotted them at the grocery store.  Yeah, it was pretty much a spectacle that attracted a lot of attention, but what the heck do I are? :jumping:

And I picked up an entire pallet—14 boxes—to bring home with me.  It may or may not be my only Count Chocula purchase of the season…& you have no idea how hard it was for me not to Buy All The Cereal!!! :bashful:

So if you’re a fan, get out there & stock up on your favorite monster cereal now!  There’s no telling how long it will last. :squirrel:

Since we missed our usual Friday Funnies last week, how about kicking off this week with a few extra chuckles? :sunflower:

Happy Sunday, everyone!  I hope you’re having a great week…are you ready to share the great stuff with us? :wave:

This week, I AM HAPPY that it’s cooled down a bit.  Last week was so hot, I thought I was going to melt into the ground.  I do not care for the extreme heat & ungodly humidity, thank you very much. :baseball:  But then we got a little rain & the temperature started to drop, & I’d say it’s even downright chilly.  No happy-medium, I guess, but I’ll still take it. :cheer:

I AM HAPPY that the cleaning/packing/moving is still coming along.  Should I be done by now?  Sure!  But since I’m not, at least I can say I’m continuing to make progress.  This past week, I actually managed to empty the entire “gun closet,” which I’d been dreading & didn’t think would ever get done.  Once I got started, though, it moved right along & was so amazing to see that room completely empty. :sunflower:

Of course, the other thing I AM HAPPY about is that—with a bit of help :bashful: —we got the entire attic emptied out, too.  And where did that stuff go?  Into the empty bedrooms & gun closet!  Sigh. :windy:  The clean, empty house feeling didn’t last long, but I know it will happen again.  I just need to haul all this new stuff down & get it moved. :juggle:

And finally, I AM HAPPY that a friend of MMD‘s volunteered her husband & her son-in-law, as well as her husband’s truck & trailer to help move the Big Stuff whenever we’re ready to go.  How fabulous is that?  I think we’re close, too, & I just can’t wait! :sunflower:

So how about you, My Darlings?  What delightful stuff has you feeling all happy & grateful this week?  Take a minute to type it up & share with the rest of the class. :jumping:
