Ugh...


Today is just one of those days where I wish I could push reset and start all over. Anyone else with me? Please feel free to share your miserable stories!
Here is a list of events that have happened on this not-so-glorious Monday Morning:
  • Surprise last minute task at the office (due first thing tomorrow—tonight if possible)
  • Raining on the way to work
  • Check engine light comes on
  • Also need oil change & inspection (two months overdue)
  • Get a call from mechanic that car won’t pass inspection with “check engine” light on
  • In the rain my high heel got stuck in the door jam
  • Manicure chipped--all but 3 nails (just got this on Saturday!)
  • Thought I missed my Defensive Driving deadline (which is one week from today—thank you very much)
  • Lost my second FedEx Package in 48 hours (however, this time it wasn’t my fault)
  • My stapler broke

So, needless to say, I'm looking forward to what the rest of the afternoon brings...

Is it too early?

Yes, I realize it's only October 22, but is it too early to listen to Christmas music? I've been jamming to "Oh Holy Night" at work today and am SO in the mood for Christmas.

So, what do you think? Is it too early?

Happy Fall!!

Oh I am so excited for fall! Today is October 1 and it feels like fall is officially here :) We've been lucky with several days of beautiful weather in September, but there's just something about October that screams "Fall is here!" (Doesn't that picture make you think of a cool, crisp fall day?!)

I don't have much to blog about today, but here are a few things I'm looking forward to this fall:
  • Aggie Football :) (We're going to the A&M vs. Arkansas game this weekend at the new Cowboys Stadium!)
  • State Fair of Texas
  • Celebrating all the upcoming birthdays! The fall and winter are busy with birthdays :)
  • Pumpkin Patches (I hope we get to go to a pumpkin patch this year. They have a HUGE one right by our house, but we missed out on it last year.)
  • Dallas Arboretum (Never been in the fall, but I've seen pictures and it's just beautiful)
  • Drinking my very first Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks (I'm feeling a little adventurous)
  • Wearing warm clothes (sweaters, long sleeves, boots!)
  • And of course, Fall means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!

I wish I could decorate for Fall, but Cooper is like a loose canon--you never know what he's getting into next!

Oh--and speaking of Coop, I just HAD to share this recent pic of our crazy pup! I was reading The Stoy's Story this morning and nearly fell out of my chair when I saw her post on this exact same thing. Check out our no-so-little-puppy perched in his new favorite spot:




Happy Thursday, everyone!
