Well, that's kind of endearing. What do you do with those notebooks?
I used to like school when I was a student, but now it just means my husband is heading back to work. He's planning to retire at the end of this school year, though.

Re: It looks like the Halloween season is starting early this year
We have seen pumpkin spice products on sale here already as well. My wife has a strict policy that she won't use it at the bakery and cafe until Sept. but then she comes home smelling like pumpkin spice every night for 2 whole months. 
When I was growing up we used to say that we only had 2 seasons around here, summer and winter, and we only experienced about a week of spring and fall between the other 2 seasons. That was certainly true back then, but in recent years we have had winters without snow, so it was like a extended fall season here for us.
On a side note, I'm a nerd too, but I hated the start of the school year when I was younger, though, it didn't bother me as I got older.

Re: It looks like the Halloween season is starting early this year
I'm with your wife on that one. Keep pumpkin spice in the autumnal months.
Snow has never been a big thing in middle TN, but we almost always have at least one snowfall each winter, usually in January or early February. When I first moved up here from Missisippi, it was more consistently cold than it is now. It was so cold for two or three winters running in the late 70s that magazines like Time were speculating we might be headed into a new ice age.
What's really annoying is when they predict snow and it falls as ice. That happened throughout this region, including MS and AL, last winter. Snow is pretty and fun. Ice is a mess, although it can glitter beautifully when the sun comes out. I think maybe we get more ice down here than y'all do up north.
