Well...Halloween is officially over (woo-hoo). I don't know about anyone else, but my mind has completely shifted from costumes and trick-or-treats to Christmas trees and ornaments. I know Thanksgiving is next in line, but when I try to think about the preparations that need to be made my mind skips over to Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and I mentally put a checklist together: Tennis (check), t-shirt, sweater, jacket (check), endless recyclable bags (check), copious amounts of patience (well, sort of check). I love the biggest shopping day of the year, I look forward to it with the same zeal I have for my birthday, Halloween and Christmas...all rolled together. I'm also trying to keep myself busy, I do my best to keep my mind occupied so that I won't focus on my dad. So, I'll obsess over christmas cookies and garland, and keep my mind happy and busy as the season of giving approaches. I wish a Happy Autumn to everyone, until we meet again, MWAH!
