Hello Fall (Right Now)

Hello to my favorite month of the year. October.

The month of my birthday. And 2 of my kids' birthdays. And Fall Break (travel opportunity). And cooler weather...finally. And Halloween.

And my birthday.  Oops. Did I mention that already?

I'm not one of those people that wants their day to pass by quickly and quietly because it just means that I am another year older. Nope. Not me.

I want to celebrate. Because I like spending time with friends and family. And I like it when anyone makes me feel special. And we're all getting older. It's just the way it is. So why try to act like it's not happening.

And I like cupcakes. And presents. And cards in the mail.

Anyways, kinda got off track there. We're talking about fall, or at least what finally feels like fall in the Phoenix area. We're looking at highs in the 80's and lows in the 60's this week. Hallelujah!

So, to celebrate the beginning of our fall weather, I wanted to share where I am right now.

Location: Starbucks (where else would I be?)
Watching:  Walking Dead, Modern Family, Parenthood, American Horror Story.....
Eating: Nachos for dinner (not the normal dinner, but you have to live it up sometimes)
Drinking: Vitamin Water Zero, squeezed lemonade flavor (I'm in love!)
Wanting: A new fluffy, white, down comforter
Needing: To get busy and finish 10 more canvases that need to be mailed out on Friday
Loving: Living in Chandler (the new house, the location, the lifestyle!)
Creating: Those canvases mentioned above
Thinking: We need to get our finances in order (not a new thought, but sadly, always a concern)
Wondering: When we can make time to do come pumpkin carving/painting

And thanks to Kelly Purkey for the list of prompts.
