Random Musings: September Edition . . .

• I’m not sure I can write a post today because my brain is fixated on the word September in the above title.  How. On. Earth?
• The above photo of The Garden of the Gods was sent to me by a reader in response to yesterday’s inquiry of delightful places to see in your areas.  Thanks, Tobi!  I believe the Hubby and I might need to visit this in October when we come to Colorado {and Rudy’s, of course}.
• Speaking of, did you know that the Hubby and I are taking a solo trip in October to Colorado to visit my younger brother and his family.  Solo.  As in no kiddoes. For five whole days.  I’ve made a little paper chain to count down to our departure.
• Did you know that the Hubby caught a fly with his bare hands last night while we were praying?  He is such an awesome multitasker!  And now I will call him Mr. Miyagi.
• Tonight our world will be changed forever as Hannie B. enters the realm of dramatic productions and attends her first read through.  Wish our Munchkin luck!
• I have finally accepted my failures and begun reposting on my photo blog.  For the longest time I was disappointed in my lack of about 60 days worth of pictures.  But I’ve finally realized I can’t get them back and I will start from now and try to do better.  Forgive me?  You’re great. {if your answer was “What photoblog?”, click here.}
• My best friend from college is bringing her two daughters for a visit in three and a half weeks.  I’ve only got twenty things I would like to accomplish before then.
• Scratch that.  It’s more like thirty-three things.
• Homemade macaroni and cheese is so delicious it haunts me in my dreams.
• I just finished another amazing series of books.  Coming up tomorrow, a little list for you of the books that have kept me completely enthralled this summer and have helped me conquer my little TV addiction – until Chuck & The Office start up again.
• Gonna end on a truly joyful note today.  Woke up this morning, fed my Owlie boy and logged on my computer to find this: if ever there is a story of resilience, finding joy amid struggle and sorrow, and living a life to the fullest, it is here.  I am continually inspired and amazed. Perspective restored on a daily basis.  Thanks S.
• Happy Wednesday!  I’m off to the pool for one last swim with the winkies before school starts.
