Well, it's October

I adore the fall. It smells so different...I'd rather be outside on a sunny fall day than a hot summer day. I've tried making the most out of the good days we've had, but lately it's been more of a monsoon season. Thank god I finally got my window fixed - for a mere $290. YIKES.
A few more car repairs, and I should be good for the winter.

I'm trying to save up money lately. I know in the winter I'll be more likely to, since there's simply less going on. I think I'm going to invest the 17.99 a month in netflix. There are plenty of movies out there that I haven't seen yet, and I'm bound and determined to catch up this winter. I'm heading down to Long Island/New York City for Christmas, and I'm trying to put money aside each week in order to make my trip more enjoyable and have a little fun.

Another thing I'm looking forward to about this month is maybe hitting up a hayride for a night of fun with some friends, and I have an apple picking date with my favorite person under 5 and one of my favorite people over 20. I haven't been to Beak & Skiff in years, but I always remember good feelings, good times, and great childhood memories. And the smells...can't beat the smells.

The Lafayette apple fest is this weekend..I also plan on attending that for a few hours. Should be a good time. How I love the fall, minus this shitty rain we've been having. Enough is enough, its been two weeks of this.

Other than loving this time of year, there's not really much to update on. I'm happy that hoodies can be worn again. I'm still wearing flip flops, though.

It was a year ago this month that my father moved out of the house for good. Yeah, time goes by. Still hurts everyday. A year goes by. I'm a year older...am I a year wiser? I think so. I love looking back and feeling like I've learned something - whether it be about other people, or more importantly, about myself. This whole getting older thing isn't my favorite, but I guess I'll stick around to see how I end up. I'm still determined that 24 will be "my year" though. One way or another, when I see 25 I'll feel good about it.
