The old psychology major in me loves this word. I'm certainly an introvert, through and through, but I always find it interesting that extroverts seem to be seen more positively than introverts. Maybe it's charisma, or charm, or some sort of silly fascination. I know I end up feeling drawn to the outgoing sort of people. Perhaps it's just an opposites attract sort of thing that I find myself with extroverted friends. Do you happen to have friends that compliment you in terms of personality traits?

While it was still quite warm today, I feel like the cooler weather is on its way in. Autumn being my favorite season, I'm a little more than a bit excited. But I certainly appreciate the last few days of warmth to enjoy before I stop wanting to pop outside on my lunch break for a quick gallivant or pop out to the garden to a cover a few more chapters from whatever book I'm reading. So while I didn't actually have any sort of errands today, as I usually have when crane placing, I just wanted to squeeze the last bit out of the summer warmth while it's still around.

When I was younger, my Grandparents used to pack me into their car and we'd go for drives. My favorite drive was always through Deal, on the ocean, to look at the big houses. Even back then, I loved to see all the different colored houses with their pretty landscaping. The streets leading from the beach all seemed to be tree-lined and as story-book wonderful as my little mind could imagine.

I was pleasantly surprised to find it still was the case. I've long since outgrown drives with my Grandparents, but the houses are just as majestic as I remember. The streets are still tree-lined in that old fashioned Southern looking way. Not a cookie cutter house in sight.
