Fall is in the air.........

in some parts of the US. Not in Phoenix though. 103 degrees today....YUCK!! In less than two weeks, it will officially be Autumn. I would love to start digging out my fall and winter clothes, but what for? It will still be in the 100's here. I've been wanting a new pair of Fall/Winter boots, but I get hot just looking at them. I have been blog reading all week (yes, I have read every ones blogs, I just didn't have a chance to post comments) and so many are talking about fall weather. Some talk about 70 degree weather, some cooler, I'm so jealous! Yes, that's right, I'm JEALOUS.

Last Tuesday as I went through the Drive-thru at Starbucks I saw it, I saw the advertisement for my favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte. Oh no, they brought it out early this year. They normally don't introduce it until October. Soooo, I did it! I ordered it even though it was so hot outside. I just moved all of the air filters in my direction so that I would get some cold air. It was sinful. And I am very proud of myself because I normally order Venti's, but for the Pumpkin Spice, I moved down to a Grande.

And speaking of Grande....I have a Grande problem. And I mean GRANDE. In one month exactly, is my niece's wedding. The Grande problem is that I have no dress to wear yet. : 0 I have looked and looked and I cant' find anything that I really like. So, after Kai's party this weekend, that will have to become my new priority. I need to find a dress. I did find these fabulous shoes though. Not for the wedding, but for other events. Buddy thinks that they look like stripper shoes, but MK does not make stripper shoes Buddy...duh. Heck I'm 5'3" who can blame me for wanting to look a little taller. Geesh.

And...speaking of shoes, come January, I will be in shoe heaven. My friend Cristina, the one that I am Maid of Honor for, (cough, cough) OK well, Matron of Honor. She has postponed and relocated her wedding. Initially it was scheduled for November 21st at ASU. Now, she has moved it to January 23, 2010 and the location is now Venice, Italy!! That's right...Buddy and I will be saying Ciao to the kids and we will be off to Italy in January. Burrrr, but at least there I will actually be able to wear my Fall/Winter wardrobe (smile) actually, (big, big smile and constant grin). Buddy and I have never been so we are very excited. We will be there for five days plus two travel days. Thankfully my mom has volunteered to come and watch the kiddos for us. BTW local blog friends. I might need a little help getting Kai home from dance. Any volunteers?

And finally, this weekend is Kai's birthday party. As excited as I am, I'm also glad that it's almost over. It's been a long time planning. My brain was and is so overwhelmed with party details. I'm hoping it all turns out great. I will post pictures on Sunday. And, in just a few short hours, I will be the mother of a teenager. Double Yikes. It's unbelievable. My little girl will be 13 tomorrow. AHHHHH I'll just have to embarrass her with tomorrow's post. Baby pictures etc. It's OK, she owes me. : )
