The best month EVER is here. I love October. I love fall. I LOVE, LOVE, HALLOWEEN. This is the month of scary movies, our wedding anniversary, of Halloween. Did I mention Halloween?

I expected it to come in so perfectly, but of course that was not the case. Almost immediately I fell prey to the cold/flu thing that has been traveling around both my personal and professional lives. Noooo! I need/want/deserve this to be a good month.

To give October some credit, several great things have already set their wheels in motion. I love to have things to look forward to, and my calendar is being asked to reserve dates.

For one, it appears that the lease swap vehicle I really wanted out of Ohio will come through. I still don’t understand why it takes weeks to assume equity liability for someone’s lease when it takes sheer hours to lease through a dealership…all through the same financing company. Whatever I guess. I just want the car. I also hear that road-tripping to Ohio in the fall is delightful. Now which weekend would be best? I better wait until the paperwork arrives on this one…

ELIZABETH IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no way I can scream that loud enough. Granted, she won’t be here until next month, but I think I can last that long. Let the revelry planning begin.

Speaking of Elizabeth, she and Jason have set a wedding date and it is in Jamaica. Glorious! Plans for Spring travel can commence.

And finally, my friends are asking for visitation rights. I hadn’t felt up to it before, but I do now. Here, there, and everywhere. Welcome October. Don’t fail me.
