What The What??

I know I saw this at least once a month, but today is the first day of a new month??? How did that happen??? Where did last month go??? Why have I not lost the 739 pounds that I should have lost by now? How can it be (fill in name of month here) already?






Well, whether I am ready or not, it is officially October. Here's what I know about October ...

• Pumpkin cheesecake will soon be on the menu at Cheesecake Factory
• Fall started last month
• Daylight Savings Time starts (or ends) next month
• Today is Julie Andrew's birthday
• I hate Halloween
• I have no half-marathons this month
• I should actually train for a half marathon this month
• There is a lot of candy in the ding-dang stores right now
• There is also a lot of Christmas merchandise in the stores
• Leaves are falling in pretty colors
• I'm glad I have a yard dude to suck up the falling leaves
• It was cool weather today in Nashville
• It will probably be a record high temperature next week in Nashville
• There will be pumpkins on people's front door steps
• There will be my cobwebs on my front door steps, and not because of Halloween
• Oktoberfest happens in October, which is where you drink beer and misspell October

So there you have it. It's October, and if I don't hurry up and publish this, it's going to be November. And since that's Daylight Savings Time Change month, I'll be busy trying to figure out what time it is!!
