Love/Hate Relationship

I have always had a love/hate relationship with September.  Firstly, it was the month of my childhood that meant I couldn't go to the beach every single day (it was traumatizing).  Secondly, the weather in Southern California gets super hot and gorgeous this time of month, which is the biggest tease EVER and after growing up and getting a job that involves a desk and no recess or snack breaks...well, I think you understand my frustration.

"Hey! I get frustrated too!"

However, September is going to be a fantastic month for a few reasons...

1.  My Handsom Man's birthday is this month...


Isn't he adorable?

2.  It's hot enough to go to the Hollywood Bowl and this month we're seeing The National! You can't go wrong with hauntingly beautiful music or being outdoors on a warm evening with a sandwich from Bay Cities and a bottle of wine...yep, it's perfection

3.  Julian Apple Festival (my fingers are crossed this will make it into our busy month!)

4.  Still being able to hit the beach

5.  Taking my best friend on a Ghost Tour of Old Town in San Diego...it's going to be epic.  Did I ever mention my love of Ghost Adventures? Didn't think so, that's just embarassing.

6.  Making pumpkin EVERYTHING...It's like a clock went off in my stomach today, I can't stop thinking about the pumkin breads, cookies, ice creams, pastas, oatmeals, pies (I seriously could keep going...)

I also wanted to let you guys know that I plan on tweaking the blog just a tad more to suit what I am all about...So don't say I didn't warn you!
