5th-7th: 3-day weekend! I couldn't think of a better way to start the month. This included dinner at Dazzle, a jazz restaurant in Denver (very grown-up and sophisticated, don't you think?), Taste of Colorado, sleeping in and shopping.
12th: my mama comes for a weekend visit! (Okay..so she's really coming on a "work trip", but mostly it's just an excuse to see me. hehe)
14th: One Tree Hill & Gossip Girl are back!! I've missed you, my friends. (I'm still not ready to talk about Peyton and Lucas, so don't even bring it up, k?)
19th: JASON MRAZ AT RED ROCKS (need I say more?)
20th: Birthday party for my 2 favorite little people in the whole world.
22nd: First day of fall! Leaves changing, cooler weather, boot season, jackets and the smell of pumpkin and spice. It really doesn't get any better.
24th: Employee Appreciation Day @ work. This means catered lunch, casual day and a chance to win prizes. Fun stuff!
Also (more importantly)....Grey's Anatomy! I could not be more ready. Sadly, George will not be there, but there are still a lot of exciting stories to look forward to. Plus, this means tv-watching parties with the parents of above-mentioned little people, who I definitely need to hang out with more.
27th: Dexter! Seriously, it's the best show you're not watching. Just don't make me watch it when I'm home alone...
29th: The Hills/The City on MTV. I know, I know...but I'm not even embarassed. LC is gone, but Kristin is back! As much as we hate her, the girl knows how to bring the drama.
(And yes, I am fully aware how much of my happiness relies on tv shows returning. Don't judge.)
Plus, not to mention all of these random things that come with September and the beginning of Autumn:
- My heart seriously leaps in my chest when I walk down the aisles of Target surrounded by this stuff
- Okay, and this stuff too.
- Have you smelled the new fall (home) fragrance from Bath & BodyWorks called Leaves? I love it. It pretty much encompasses everything wonderful about fall and lets you put that smell in your house. (FYI- Fresh Balsam smells like Christmas and Creamy Nutmeg is warm and delicious and perfect for fall, too!)
- Boots!
- 'Tis (almost!) the season for pot pie! For some reason, pot pie just tastes better when it's cold outside. And I make a delicious chicken pot pie. (Seriously, it's so good). It's super easy and affordable, plus it's warm and filling. I'll post the recipe later on.
(Besides...I'm probably getting ahead of myself. It may be September, but Mother Nature apparently still thinks it's summer. Come on cooler weather!!)
When you think about it, September is such a tease. It's not really summer anymore, but it's not quite autumn. I'm not bashing it though, because this is truly shaping up to be a great month.
Besides...after September comes October (Halloween!), then November (Thanksgiving!!), and then December (CHRISTMAS!!!).
I love the last part of the year the best.
