Happy October to you! I don’t know about you but there is definitely a change in the air. My 7 mile run was absolutely wonderful with a nice breeze. I almost did not want to stop but you know…I have this thing called a job and someone’s gotta do it.
Here are some things that I’m currently seeing, hoping…dreaming about. Loving this list from this gal’s blog so I thought I’d do my own.
Currently…
Reading: D Magazine. They are definitely keeping me up to date on all things happening in my ‘hood. Plus, hello…the 25 things you must do in Dallas this October. I’m on it.
Deciding: To get in more patio time this fall. Preferably if this place is involved.
Seeing: My girlfriends more often. They make the world go ‘round.
Wishing: For pretty glittery pumpkins on my doorstep. Because everything is better with glitter. Or bedazzled.
Hoping: For some more trail running time very soon. Love getting off the beaten path.
Making: These oatmeal pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Organic rolled oats, banana, pumpkin, semi sweet chocolate chips. I kind of threw it together but it worked out really well.
Feeling: Like it’s time to bust out the wine colored nail polish. Just because.
Dreaming: Of apple cider sangria. Or apple cider in the crockpot. Both need to happen soon.
Wondering: When the high is going to be below 90 degrees down in TX. I’m thinking it may happen this weekend. Hallelujah.
Snacking: On roasted pumpkin seeds. Love it love it. They are super addictive.
Embarrassing: myself all the time while teaching classes at the gym. I’m kind of used to it though…haha…hashtag no shame.
Remembering: My very first marathon…Chicago on 10.10.10. Miss that city…and the Garrett’s popcorn.
Flipping: Over this southwestern spaghetti squash. I need it in my life.
Chasing: The morning sun. Always always.
Throwing: Some sort of wine and cheese party…very soon. Maybe for the holidaze.
Struggling: With being in the present. Always a work in progress for me.
Vowing: To get better at saying ‘NO’.
Eating: All of the fall things…anything with the words pumpkin or butternut squash in it. All day every day. Oh, and grape tomatoes. These are freaking fantastic.
Trying: Something new every time I go to a sushi joint. Loved the serrano yellowtail from this place.
Loving: My first fall leaf I saw on my run the other day.
Wanting: To see Las Vegas and then Hawaii. Oh so soon. Bring on November & December vacation time.

i want to go trail running, too! i need to make that happen at some point in my life. apple cider sangria sounds like a fantastic idea…and i love that your patio season is fall. 🙂 the cooler runs are so nice, i agree!
Yep, Texas weather is so pleasant in fall and winter!! Makes up for the brutal summers we have for sure.
Best October picture there with the street lamp. I wish my October looked like that! I did a 7 miler too recently and it felt so nice because it was only a “feels like 93 degrees!” It’s supposed to drop to the mid to high 80’s this weekend though. Hopefully it starts getting cooler where you run too. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for below 90 degree weather for fall!
haha! Exactly!
Those bedazzled pumpkins are fantastic! Who knew boring old pumpkins could be fancy?
Right?! I seriously am considering getting some to bedazzle & put on my balcony/doorstep!!!
Your Fall nails are gorgeous. I would love to watch the leaves on that patio with a coffee.
We really need to do better down here in TX with fall foliage! But yes I cannot wait until we get some leaves with pretty colors!!
making: plans for family xmas cards
wanting: to figure out a way to never have to go back to work
snacking: Ben and Jerrys The Tonight Dough. Seltzer water. Sweet Potato chips
LOVE that nail color!
lol you and this Seltzer water!! Oh I bet your family xmas cards will be beautiful! Pretty please send me one if you have any extras lying around 🙂 🙂
Aw! What a fun post! I love this! 🙂
