Dear Fall

Dear Fall,

How are you? I heard you officially started a few days ago. I always welcome you on September 1. You know it is almost October, don't you? Yet, you still feel like July. I love July but what's wrong with you? Having some difficulties adjusting? I mean, it's okay if you want to be slightly warmer than normal. You don't have to show us your rainy side or even windy side yet. It's okay to be warmer, it really is. But, you are not warmer you are hot. 95 degrees is too much, and that is just a forecast. When your temperature peaks it is usually 101 or more. Your sun is strong, and I mean really strong. I got sunburned. I always wear sunblock but your so-called fall sun burned me. This is not funny.

So, to make this letter short, can you please work out the tension you are feeling and come to terms that you need to be cooler, windier, and wetter? Also, leaves should really change color. Green is a great color but some yellow and red would be nice. And since I'm on it, I'd appreciate it if you could cool down into the higher 70s and make October a great month, so I can finally visualize myself drinking pumpkin-spiced-anything, eating fall-inspired pies and dishes, wearing layered clothes, and guess what? Yes, going to pumpkin patches. Walking onto a scorching hot field filled with thousands of bright pumpkins is no fun!!! Please get it together! Please.

You have to cool down at some point. Show your appropriate face and get yourself together, will ya!? Thank you in advance.

Sincerely and truthfully yours,

me

P.s. currently sipping on an iced drink because it's too hot for anything else...you get my drift?! I hope so.

Weekly Hopes {9}

Good morning my lovelies!!

I hope your Monday is an awesome one.

I love fresh starts, cooler mornings, and brand new beginnings...each day is a new beginning, so without further ado, here's my list of my Weekly Hopes...

1. More step-accomplishments on my FitBit {I am lazy...tragic tragic!}
2. Receiving a few things in the mail
3. October starting!!! YAY!
4. A new bag {well, if I get out and buy it}
5. Creating new fall dinner ideas
6. More walks as temps went down into the 80s...I'd prefer 70s.
7. Movie Night Date with my man
8. More blogging or writing that is...more personal stuff

Yes I am looking forward to eight things this week. I truly hope that at least 50% will come true. I don't need much just a few things crossed off my list. It'll make a great week. Sometimes I feel I am hoping to accomplish too much. I just want to be happy. I just want to make each day a fun one.

Is that too much to ask?!

Have a great day, I'm starting mine with a strong cup of coffee and a healthy breakfast.

My Friday Happies

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend my lovely readers!

This week has been a whirlwind of ups and downs, but mostly ups so that is a definite plus. Since this is the end of a long week I thought I wouldn't waste any more time but share with you what made me happy this week. Plus, I'm linking up with Krysten and Lindsay again. Ready?!

1. Netflix

2. Puzzles

3. Pinterest {are you following my crazy journey on Pinterest?!}

4. Coffee I can tolerate

5. Halloween Lights

6. Less pain

7. Fellow blogger featuring a post of mine

8. Finished Business {stupid paperwork is sent off and worked on}

9. New fall inspired nail polish

10. My FitBit {how do I challenge myself more?!}

It's been a good week.

I'm looking forward to the weekend though. Not only does my favorite person have Sunday off {very rare!!} but he also works regular hours that will leave me stranded at night. I don't like when he works until 11pm. No bueno. So, just knowing regular hours will be back next week makes me happy already. So yes, let me get happier today by applying the fall inspired nail polish to my nails...

Hope your Friday was wonderful.
Happy weekend my lovely readers...hope you are having a fabulous one.

xoxo

Vibrant - Green

Time to enjoy cooler temperatures and warmer drinks!!! Finally.
It may not be as cool as it is in other parts of this country {or other countries}, and it may not be fall season where you are {some places we all know head on into spring right now...love that idea}. Regardless of where you are green is a fantastic color to add some pop to your life. I am not a huge fan of green. It reminds me of my mother as this was her favorite color. However, it's a refreshing and vibrant color and adds warmth and fun to an outfit. I am still looking forward to the day I will purchase a green purse. I believe this will add some hot flavor to my dull outfits. I mostly wear black, so a pop of green would be a huge step towards being braver and more fun.

Green has many shades and whether you love it as a regular grass green or more of a blue green/dark turquoise...enjoy it. I know I will wear more green this fall season...just to add a bit of fresh color to the yellow and read leaves on the ground. This makes this season so much more fun!!

short dress {similar} / cardigan {similar} / striped shirt {similar} / Kate Spade purse {darker color} /
handbag wallet / phone cover / plate

Green is a fun fall {or spring} color. It adds color to any dull outfit and to any mood. Also, since I personally do not wear a lot of green, if I do, people notice and compliment on the color or the outfit. It is like people wake up just looking at this vibrant color!  

Do you wear green? Is it a color you prefer or rather shy away from?
Let me know...always love to hear from you.

Weekly Hopes {8}

Hello my lovelies,

Are you with me this morning?! I was so happy about cooler temperatures last week that I jinxed everything and temperatures decided to bite me in my butt and return...in a scorching manner that it. Hello 99 degrees. Ugh!!!

So it is probably a given what I am hoping for this week....right?! Let's see if you were right!

1 - Working on my daily walking goal and sticking to that goal!! I need to move my butt!

2 - Hobby Lobby and HomeGoods run so I can get inspired to decorate for fall

3 - Working on my emotions {writing, talking, painting, singing, dancing, crying...whatever it takes}

4 - Another visit to the animal shelter

5 - Another Sunday spent with my favorite person as he is off again! YAY.

6 - Cooler temperatures {duh!!!}

7 - A well-deserved hot drink while enjoying cooler temps...

Were you right?! Of course you were...after months of triple digit heat and temps I am definitely looking forward to cooler temperatures. Anything below 80 is amazing. We went to San Francisco a week ago. Definitely enjoyed the cold air there! 

What are you hoping to see or experience this week?!
Anything fun?

Happy Monday!!

xoxo
