september madness

i have a confession to make:

i seriously, without a doubt, love september. So many reasons why float around my already cluttered brain:

• the weather
• autumn decor
• crunch leaves under my boots
• punkins' (i am aware of misspelling)
• sunsets
• the harvest
• sunflowers
• apple cider
• pumpkin everything
• plans with great friends
• autumn autumn!
• the peanuts gang
• back to school (notebooks! pens! yay!)
• back to baking
• and the biggie- my BIRTHDAY!

It's my birthday month. Actually, in a timeline? I started going out with my hubby (again) in September, a lot of friends birthdays in September, we adopted our puppy in September- it's just a month where change is accepted and can't really be complained about. 

I LOVE SEPTEMBER! Here's more reasons why:

preparing for my book launch! 

(quite obviously this is not me, this is a screen still from The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor. Ultimate Inspiration. Property of the above (the mummy movies!) )

Sleeping in with a huge comfy comforter, and a small comfy dog. He wears shirts in the autumn. Yep. Shot by my loving husband. Geez.
