Did you ever see "You've Got Mail" with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks? No? Well, you're missing out on one of the most adorable romantic comedies ever -- just fyi. Never before had a movie ending made my heart so melt, and to date it remains one of my favorites.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Um... Kendra- helllllooo? Romantic comedies are for n00bs! Nobody should ever watch such wretched shit!"

And, I must say, you're only half correct. Romantic comedies are indeed for n00bs, but they are not always terrible! But this whole thing has been a digression- the real reason I'm talking about "You've Got Mail" is because I love the opening sequence when Tom Hanks writes to Meg Ryan about fall in New York. One of the things he mentions is sending her a bouquet of sharpened pencils. Isn't that freakin' adorable?

So, as wee children go back to school, tree leaves begin to blush, and the afternoon light slips away more and more each day, I am reminded of the loveliness of fall and how ready I am for the changing of the seasons. Here's to a beautiful fall, positive changes, and bouquet upon bouquet of exciting school supplies :)
