Halloween 2013

I noticed this week that stores are decorated in orange and black. Usually this would make me super excited and I would buy some candy corn and peanuts to have around the house. And some orange & black m'n'ms. 

This year, I would be okay with them holding off on decorating for Halloween. Because this year, it means we are getting closer to a major milestone. THIRTY!!!!

Okay, I'm not really dreading it as much as it may seem. But, it does seem unreal that I should be turning 30. I don't feel like I am that old. And yet, 30 seems a lot younger now that I am almost there.

So, my ideal 30th birthday is a trip to New York City to shop, eat at really awesome restaurants and see shows on Broadway. It just isn't really the right time for that, so I'd settle for a trip to the beach. But, it isn't really the right time for that either. I think I'll celebrate my normal way - with a good cup of coffee and a book. As long as I don't have to go to a costume party, I'll be fine. [I can't stand costume parties.]

Well, ready or not, it is coming. In 55 days!
