I just saw this on Le Pinterest and I think it definitely captures the duality of this time of year. Who else is a fall homebody? Because yes, I love taking in the beauty of the electric fall atmosphere, but oh, yes, do I also love hunkering down in my warm apartment, encased in a …
Blogtober #24: This is 40.
Welp, it happened. She entered a brand new decade. (She is me, in case you haven't noticed the whole referring to myself in the third person thing.) Here's how I feel about it: 40 for the win. Happy Autumn.
Blogtober #23: On Letting Things Go.
Sometimes I wonder if I love fall so much because it's the visual embodiment of all the things that, psychologically, I should be doing a better job of maintaining. Every year, nature takes stock and detoxes, shedding its skin in the loveliest, most wondrous of ways. It's a lesson to be learned, and certainly one …
Blogtober #22: Ashy Knuckles and & Other Autumnal Indignities.
Look. That lovely, crisp, autumnal breeze in the atmosphere? It's wonderful. And also very, very dangerous. This morning, as I trudged into work and settled myself at my desk, I noticed something as I was typing away on my keyboard. Something that took my breath away. My knuckles were ashy. Like gray. The abject horror …

Blogtober #21: The Bluest Sky.
After three weeks of rain, this weekend welcomed that sky and that glow below. Photos taken by yours truly from her couch, as she takes in the lovely, dry day. Happy Sunday.
Blogtober #20: We’ve Got a Lituation.
As seen on the Twitter, tweeted by Reese Witherspoon, retweeted by Ava Duvernay, and infinitely loved by me and all fall lovers out there. Happy Saturday, y'all. Get lit.
Blogtober #19: do your Fall Friday dance.
Even with endless rainy days (it's been raining here for a full two weeks, reader) and minor disappointments in life (I'll spare the details and provide them for another post, but let's give you one clue: men), you'll find This Square Peg moving in some fashion during the day. Even if it's chair dancing at …

Blogtober #18: Keep That Same Energy.
I've said it a million times over: when it comes to writing and creating, I seem to burst with ideas and projects in the fall. It's the electricity in the air. It's the leaves. It's the absence of mosquitoes. Ideas have been coming at me nonstop (like legit novels, dear reader; me, who looks at …
Blogtober #17: Fall Fabu Fashion.
Hey y'all. As you can imagine, with temps in the 40s and 50s around here in Somewheres, Texas (which is hardly seasonal; we should be around the 60s and bit of 70s, for the most part, but I certainly am not complaining), the pulling out of coats and sweaters and boots and scarves is in …
Blogtober #16: Veruca Salt.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is on the telly. One of my absolute favorites of all time. And you know what? Charlie was great and good and all that, but there's only one person I identify with. When I was younger, it was definitely a secret admiration. But now? We're soul sisters. Miss Veruca …
