For Every Season TURN TURN TURN

When I left the house this morning I was so pleased at the dark sky, smell of rain, and chilly (for Arizona) temperature.

.

WHY HELLO THERE FALL!

It is nice to see you, and that lovely pashmina you are wearing.

.
It is finally starting to feel like Fall, which is arguably my favorite season. (if I'm being honest each season is arguably my favorite. For this posts sake Fall, and it's lovely pashmina, is my very FAVORITE season).

5 Reason's Fall Should be YOUR favorite season too:

Five: The Changing Trees

I know, I know- we don't have this in Phoenix, but I know I always find time to head North and enjoy the changing seasons. I am sure you do as well. Oh gosh the colors make me swoon!
.

Four: The Smell

It is the crisp clean air floating through open windows carrying hints of cinnamon, freshly lit fireplaces, pumpkin, baked goods, and well seasonal gold canyon candles- I don't care what package it comes in, just give me that smell!

Three: The Gorgeous Days, and Nippy NightsI need that coat and mask for this fall! ....
.

Speaking of masks-

Two: The Holidays

Halloween.

Thanksgiving

(which is by far the best holiday, it is Christmas without the materialism!)

.

One: The Food

It is so warm, comforting, and Beautiful! An excuse to eat comfort food everyday? Sign me up, I mean sweaters are practically designed for hiding an Autumn bulge ;)

.
Bon Voyage Summer! I'm sure the Southern Hemisphere is thrilled you will be visiting! I know I will be overjoyed to see you in a few months....

But for now, my heart belongs to Fall.

Santa Barbara

I am feeling great after spending this past weekend in Santa Barbara. We made the eight hour drive for Danny's Cousin, Zaks wedding. It was a such sweet affair, in the most beautiful location!

.

This trip also made it official- I need to visit the beach regularly...

those negative ions really do the body and soul good!

Pst... Jennifer! Come Here.

BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to my Lovely, Beautiful, Clever, and Hysterical Friend.

Love you Lots (and this picture of you and Lilah)

Cheers to being in your late twenties! Can't wait to join you in being all mature and shiz ;)

WRONG WAY

I just saw someone driving backwards on the freeway. BACKWARDS. Oh wait it gets better, they were on a BRIDGE! as in elevated above the Earths floor.

.

I said a little prayer for their safety: Physical, and Mental.

I wonder if they were listening to Pinkerton like me. I tell you the nostalgia does crazy things to your mind.

"There's a Tourist in Every Heart"

Dear Las Vegas,

.

Thank you for hosting all us girls over the weekend. It was quite a ball of wild and crazy fun. I especially enjoyed the ghost bar, the brits, and rappin in the pool (of course).

.

I also wanted to let you know that I think this may be the end for us... We have had our fun in the past. I will never forget the reality tv stars, or waffles at 4 o'clock in the morning. Unfortunately I have matured, and as it turns out I am a girl whose nights must remain nights, and not turn into mornings. I am a girl who needs to go to church, not party in the city of sin.

.

You? Well you are Las Vegas. Which means there are thousands of starry eyed girls donning much too high of heels, and much too short of skirts lined up to take my place, and embark on all the magic you hold. (Less Carrot Top, I hope).

.

As for this girl? I will be resting my starry eyes turned bloodshot, and dreaming about more relaxing locals - such as Sun City.

.

Good Bye Las Vegas, I am sure we will meet again. I mean, a mid-life crisis is inevitable!

Tomorrow....

Let the Chincilli Festivities Begin!

I want my geese to lay gold eggs

Sure fire way to make me want to pull your hair and stick my tongue out at you? Act like spoiled jerk when everyone around you is working their butts off, and all for you!

Can I get a Heck Yeah for people who are appreciative and throw out a thank you every now and again?

.

Woowee I am a little fired up... I think I am well on my way to a burn out.

.

In other news, my friends, family, and border collie (who just got a hair cut) are still cool. I saw blink this weekend, which was equally cool. Oh-and I am listening to the Across the Universe Soundtrack... double cool!
