Autumn Wishes

Well my dears it is 100% officially autumn. It's in the 80s now and while that does not sound like cool weather, compared to the sweltering 90s and 100s that Texans endure through approximately 7 months of the year, 80s are a more than welcomed change. First day of autumn I wore boots and a scarf. I told people I was willing fall weather to come faster with my clothing choices. Um, it totally worked. Take that, haters.

Things have been going pretty well throughout September. Still loving my hair. However, September 30 is the end of the fiscal year which means the government has been frantically trying to spend the last of the FY10 money. AKA- contractor HELL. I worked a crap-ton of hours the last two weeks because we had to get all of these proposals out. But that means we get a day off next week which is killer. I love feeling appreciated. Like all of my extra time spent was recognized. Ahhh, so thats what this feels like...i think id like to stay here for a while...

In other news, I am actively looking for a new place to live. I'm ready for something different. Less commercial. More personal. Less enormous. More unique. And I think I've found it. It's in an old mansion that was converted into apartments. It's called "Castle Arms". I'm calling it the Castle. It has a spire. Goal: make friends with the person who lives in the flying buttress. My dad found it on a more obsure apartment search website and we drove by and called the man. He had just rented it that day to someone who was living in a smaller unit in the same building. Therefore, the unit that person was moving out of is now available and I WANT IT. It is so adorable and unique and inexpensive for what I think I would get. Great neighborhood, the whole nine yards. It has a nook AND a loft! And a huge bedroom. I'm going to see it on Thursday because the woman living there now is moving into her new unit on Wednesday. I would have to give written notice to my current complex on Friday so if I see it and love it I'm making a decision on Thursday. What I'm most excited about at the moment is being in this place for Christmas. The nook is PERFECT for my christmas tree!!!!!!! I am so unabashedly in love with fall and winter holidays. 4th of July? America is cool and all but don't care about that holiday. Valentine's Day? Love is cool and all but I don't care about that holiday either. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's? BEST THREE MONTHS OF THE YEAR.

I bought three pairs of fall shoes at Target yesterday. I shouldn't have. But I did. Because they are fantastical and I wanted them. I know I have too many shoes already. So sue me.

I'm house-sitting for Amy's new puppy Roxy next weekend so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm gonna take her to the Men's ITAs on Saturday. That'll be fun. Everyone loves puppies.

Well that's all for today folks. Feelin pretty good. Over and out!
