Enjoy it while it lasts...

I went for my daily lunchtime walk today and I must say, its a glorious day outside. Bright, sunny, not a cloud in the sky and 77 degrees.

But as I walked, I realized something...Fall is just around the corner.

I realized the bright green leaves from even just last week have now been replaced by dull green ones - I can see the reds and yellows slipping in to their colors.

Fall is coming.

I realized that I didn't hear the cicadas that I always hear during the hot summer days. All was quiet - just a few crickets cricketing.

Its been cooler at night - upper 50's to low 60's. Just cool enough to need a light blanket on the bed and to be grateful for when Luna jumps up to cuddle. I appreciate her extra body warmth.

Football season is just around the corner. While I'm thrilled about this for Nicole (Geaux Tigers!), I can't help but feel a little sad too.

Summer is my favorite season. And when Fall rolls around, I tend to feel a little sadness creeping in. Summer is almost over.

But never fear!! There is still time left! Labor Day is still just under a week away. And there are plenty of beach weekends left. The Jersey shore in the Fall rocks! All the warmth, all the high ocean water temps, and none of the crowds!

So I'm looking forward to soaking in all the goodness while it lasts....because in no time, we'll be pulling out our warm wooley blankets and toasty warm shoes!

FINALLY!!

I'm finally on the eve of my summer vacation!  First vacation since last year (not counting the week we close @ Christmas) and let me tell you - I NEED IT!!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, when I'll do....well, most likely nothing!!  YAY.  Fester.  Veg.  You name it, and whatever it is, I won't be working!  WOOT!!

My friend Mike is coming to visit on Thursday through the weekend, so that should be fun.  We'll hit the beach for the day on Friday and then do some fun day stuff around here the rest of the time.  Relax.  And enjoy!!

And then I'm off on Monday too...  But that was just so I didn't have that feeling on Sunday night of "oooh, tomorrow I have to work".  Because now I won't have to!!  Can I have a woot??

WOOT WOOT!!

So....here's to vacation!!!  Aaaaahhhhh - I can feel myself starting to unwind already!

We've all been taught from a young age that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I must ask this though.

When you say to a stylist (or really anyone) "all one length but shorter in the back and a little longer in front" in reference to your hair, how is it possible to come out with a head FULL of layers and nothing at all resembling A) what you described and B) what you'd been finding photos of for 2 weeks??

I will say this, though - its nice to not have hair stick to me in the heat.

No photos to come. Sorry. I'm waiting for my hair to grow out to high-tail it to a new stylist so I can get the style I REALLY asked for.
