According to all the weather bugs, today should be the last HOT day this year. This is #91 days of being over 90 degrees. Heading to 96 degrees today. Is summer over?
I can barely contain my excitement -- even though I'm heading to Chattanooga where the cool front isn't coming until Sunday.
To celebrate, I got a burnt orange on my toes. PICTURE coming of my FEET (so prepare) ... but the color is fun. Way out of my usual. I'll probably get a polish change before our trip, but for now I'm happy with "fall" toes. I googled trendy fall colors (not planning on orange) because I wanted something new ... guess orange is always good for fall. Looks more red in the picture.
Yesterday was my "fun" day and while it wasn't a bad day, it wasn't exactly fun. I was irritated and moody. I handled it okay and kept working on a better attitude. Read all about sending out good vibrations the day before and THAT didn't happen yesterday. Oooops. Let's try again today.
I started some basic Christmas shopping since I was out and about. Good to get some ideas rolling. I also finished DIL birthday present and the hostess gift for my cousin. Productive shopping day.
DIL: Container Store gift card (she wants some storage stuff for her new apartment) and some travel goodies for our trip.
Hostess Gift: I got an Eagle Creek nylon backpack for my camping cousin. One of those that folds up in a little zipper pouch. Seemed like something up her alley. They are minimalist when it comes to house stuff and have a lot of food issues -- she'll like it or like the thought LOL.
Pottery Barn and I have made up and I ordered a few things to begin the family room and my bedroom which share a massive BLANK wall. Pictures when we get things hung. Everything came yesterday, but I wasn't in the mood to unpack the boxes. PB packs like nobody's business. It's Fort Knox to open the boxes.
The painted mirror should be ready today, but I haven't heard back from the painter to confirm. Might be next week. Holding my breath it looks good!
Influencers have started "recommending" and I bought a couple things online too. I'll get pictures, etc. once everything comes. Say what you will about Instagram ... I get some good ideas from these ladies.
On my list of WANTS is to go to a German restaurant in our town. It's regionally known and people ask us if we've been now that we live here -- not yet. Since it's October, we're going next weekend for DIL birthday ... sitting in the beer garden with live German music. Sounds cool. I'm curious if it's as good as people say ... not a German beer fan, but the food sounds good.
Tonight is a moving party for our neighbor. Her realtor lives in the neighborhood and is taking care of the food -- so easy. Bring your own drink and that's it. I don't know her well, so I got a card and put some scratch tickets inside. She's building a house and her stuff will be in storage for a few months -- don't want to add anything to store. Seemed like a good idea.
It was a shopping day from start to finish.
I've been waking up early again -- around 4 o'clock and can't get back to sleep. I stay in bed for a bit and then give up. What happened to 5 o'clock?? That was short lived. I'll be sleep challenged this weekend though. I woke up to the thought -- I wonder if my minimalist cousin uses AC? Ut oh. Glad it's only one night.
As usual, day before a trip, I start to get wonky. Worried about little details. Why do I do this? Good news is I expect it and sort of ignore it. Here I go again.
Happy weekend. I'll even embrace the Fall Y'all if it actually happens. Later gators.
