Tomorrow marks the first day of Fall, which in turn officially starts the COOLER WEATHER.  There are so many fun things about Fall of which I so look forward to.

I stumbled upon this adorable Fall Bucket List.  I'm admittedly a total dork and this list made me squeal with excitement.  You too?  Print this out, put it in a frame, behind glass, so you can use a dry-erase marker to check-off your activities as you do them.  :)



I'm going to pretend this is my front door.



Aren't these owl cupcakes SO cute?!  Ekkkkkkkk




 I'm thinking 3 of these.... a big one, a small{er} and a mini to make the perfect little family.


HAPPY AUTUMN, FRIENDS!!!

7 Interesting Things About Me

September 21, 2011


Not that you probably care {giggle}, but I'm going to take some time away from being serious for a moment to talk about 7 interesting things about me.

1.    I don’t mind the dentist.  Why, you ask?  Because my dentist IS THE BOMB!  Yes, I used to live in *fear* of the dreaded dental chair, but this husband and wife dental team have turned my fears around.  If you don’t like being poked and prodded at I promise you, you will NOT mind this dentist after just one visit.  Their office is complete with a darling fireplace and the aroma of sweet-smelling candles wafting in the air.

2.    I’m obsessed with wedding shows.  I watch “Say Yes to the Dress”, David Tutera’s “Platinum Weddings”, “My Fair Wedding”, “Four Weddings”, and other random wedding shows.  Come on girls, I’m not alone on this one and you know it! 

3.    My iPhone.  If I don’t have it near me I instantly panic.  I’ve realized that my life before my iPhone was simply worthless.  How did I exist without it?  Maybe because I can email, facebook, surf the net, and use my apps all from a 2.5” x 4.5” piece of something.

4.    When I’ve got things on my mind, I clean.  I’m not talking about tidying up, I’m talking deep-down-cleaning.  Remove-everything-from-the-cabinet-and-reorganize-type-cleaning!   

5.    My dog and I kiss.  Sorry if this grosses anyone out, but nothing is cuter than when Lulu gives me a big wet slurpy kiss across my mouth.  It’s true love!  (Oh, and did I mention we drink water out of the same glass?)

6.    I like to play tennis, but sometimes I’m a poor sport.  Yea, I really should learn my lesson, but sometimes despite all my trash talk my best efforts, it just doesn’t happen.

7.    I've surfed the internet to the very end.  Yes I research items before buying them, therefore I have surfed the darn net from top to bottom, up and down, inside and out.  I admit to being an internet junkie.  HA!


 Now tell me a few interesting things about YOU, friends! 

 

Remembering

September 10, 2011



As we pass through life, we often contemplate how others perceive our lives.  What do we make of those taken early on 9/11/2001, now ten years ago?  Our first thoughts are naturally beyond sympathetic; centered on a life shortened by a tragic ending.  And yet, the air traffic controller who was the last person to speak to the crew of hijacked American flight #77 that crashed into the Pentagon found love by the man who sat side-by-side with her through it all that day.  For all, 9/11 was a tragedy, but hope, faith and love can be seen on many who survived that fateful day.

Many of us recall the fine details of 9/11/2001.  We remember what the sky was like that day and how we reacted upon hearing or watching the news.  In remembering the legacy of those lost on 9/11 or taken from our lives for ANY reason, may we reflect on how we ourselves would be missed for the love and kindness we showed others in life.  May we spend time pondering the things for which we would like to be known after we depart.  What are the verses we would want written or words spoken by others about our contributions?  It's not about the way our lives end that matters as much as the way we lived and loved in life.

God Bless America,
