It’s only August, and already I am craving fall! With this in mind, we finally, finally bought some Mums for the front steps. At the end of each summer these lovely flowers start showing up at the front of every store. And every year I walk by them wanting to get some for the house. This longing continues well into fall when the supplies start to dwindle and I give up on the dream for another year.
Our latest family adventure was off to visit Grandma Debbie and go to the Zoo! Paddy loves animals and being outside, so we thought this might be a fun treat for him. Of course, the day we picked turned out to be smack dab in the middle of a high heat warning across the country. The good news is that we live in the North, so high heat for us meant 90 and not 120.
Sometimes simple weekends can be the best weekends and this was one of those weekends. Grandma offered to take Paddy for a sleepover Saturday night, so the Mister and I decided to spend a simple night in. We started off the afternoon watching Spectre. We are both huge Bond nerds, and we had not watched this newest incarnation yet. I have heard mixed reviews, but I will watch anything Bond with zero complaints.
Thirty…30…three, zero. To quote the too soon gone, Aaliyah “age ain’t nothin but a number”. But this number is so high! I have never been terribly concerned about my age. Most days it takes longer than I’d like to admit for me to remember how old I actually am at that point in time. The past year however, has seemed like a slow countdown to old age. Thirty marks the end of youth, no longer will anyone consider me young.
