Fall Y'all............

So recently it was the first day of fall. Today I actually felt like it was. Living in Florida you have to make due with the weather still being hot and humid and pretend it's fall. I have a friend that wears her boots starting October first whether its still summer weather or not.

Yesterday my hubby and I sat out on the porch for over an hour and with the slight breeze it was really nice. 
But today...........well I finally found my Pumpkin Spice creamer I had been searching high and low for. They had Candy Cane already but for some reason Pumpkin Spice was no where to be found. 
Then I had a Pumpkin Spice ice coffee. Since I usually don't have that much caffeine and I had rode my ten miles on my bike this morning, I felt lead to decorate the house for Fall/Halloween. 

Maybe I will even do some baking. Hmmmm.... For now I am ending my fall day with Hocus Pocus and some lit candles that smell like I did bake. ;-0

I love fall. 

Peace, Candy

Monday Blahs.........

I had such a busy, although fun weekend, that I was hoping to get back on track this am with my bike riding today. No such luck. Woke up to a rainy day. Even though I did get some good sleep finally I could have just laid in bed all day. 
I have company coming so that didn't happen. lol I did get some cleaning done and went to the grocery store. Too bad I have to go again in a day or two because I don't know what kinds of food my grandparents want or can eat. I probably have expressed myself on here before how I love, (sarcastic here) grocery shopping. I will say that I got a parking space right up front though and the rain held out til I got back home safe. 
Today is also teacher duty day so the kids have no school. That always throws me off too. 

Hopefully I will be back on track tomorrow. Maybe I will have a afternoon cup of coffee.
Ps. the grocery store had candy cane mint creamer but no pumpkin spice. Ummmm getting ahead of yourselves my friends..........

Peace, Candy

Catching Up....

So lets see........My 13 year wedding anniversary was yesterday. That went by really fast. We didn't do much as the cruise was both of our birthdays and an anniversary gift to us. It's always fun to do things before the actual holiday but when it's the actual day...not so much. We did, however, sneak off to Wendy's and have an Oreo Frosty Parfait. We also rented a movie so that was cool. I would have like to go to Endless shrimp again at Red Lobster 
 before it was done but back on the healthy eating again to reach my goal. 

Excited about the upcoming weekend as my daughter and her bf treated me to a ticket to go to the Women of Faith conference. Good speakers and great music as Third Day will be there. We are meeting up with a few others from church. 

My grandparents, the ones who were driving from Cali and their 88, are in NC with my parents and will be here next week. 

Got some rooms cleaned out and did some redecorating done. Aka moving stuff from other rooms. If I ever need a change, that's what I do. Very cost effective and you don't have to worry about your hair growing back. lol

Open house is tonight so no band practice til Thursday. 
Now you know.......hehe

Hope all is well for everyone. 

Peace, Candy

Saturday Morn......

Did I ever mention that I love Saturday mornings? Whether I am working in or outside the home (and not on a Saturday obviously) I have always enjoyed Saturday mornings. I wonder if it stems back to when I was in school and that was the day you could sleep in and have two days to recoup before you started again? 

It's quiet here on these Saturday mornings. Everyone is more laid back. I take a lil extra time to drink my coffee and even take a gander at Pinterest. No where to be and nothing to important to do. It's very nice. 

Of coarse it wasn't always like this. Many of Saturdays we got up at the crack to take my daughter to cheer. Or football for RB3. I just got word that I have to hand over my laptop to RB4 for a paper he has to write so I guess I should start with my day. It was nice while it lasted.

My advice is to try to enjoy every season in your life. I wished I had done that more when all the kids were younger. Always rushed and stressed. I also know that I am not done yet with my busy Saturdays. Next couple of them are like that. I do know that I will take them as I get them and remember to just chill if only for a lil bit.

Peace, Candy

Tis My Birthday

Well today I am 46. I actually feel older. lol I am having a glamorous day of grocery shopping, laundry, and cleaning. That's the only problem with doing something earlier for your birthday......Kind of a blah event on the day. My oldest son did invite me and the hubby to dinner on him but we are so sick of eating because of the cruise that we turned him down. I woke up to video's of 3 of my lil grandbaby boys wishing me a happy bday. Although one just repeatedly gave me raspberries. =) I got to see my other grandson, who's four months old, yesterday. I will be ending the day with band practice. I share this day with our singer/guitarist. 

Hopefully this year is a good one. I enjoyed being 45. Learned alot and let go of alot. I guess you do get wise. Don't think for a minute though that I am not certifiable anymore. I will always be on the edge of sanity. I am proud of that. 

Peace, Candy

Back At It...........

Well, how time flies. I just saw that I haven't posted since August 28th and it's already September 9th. I guess getting ready for the cruise then going on it took more time then I thought. I have good stories from the cruise that I am breaking up into separate posts. 

As for now I just have to say that although I am glad to see my kids and puppy I am really not ready to jump back into "real life". Ugh it's depressing. lol 
I still have my sea legs so I spent alot of today just chilling. I thought the hubby would go right back out to the garage but he didn't. We are all tired. It's true. You need a vacation after your vacation. 

Guess it's time to turn in. I only have three hours left of being 45. Bleck! 

Peace, Candy
