Fall

I miss the changing seasons...

{via}

In Phoenix we have two seasons: F*n Hot and Not Quite as Hot.

Back home in Georgia they will soon be feeling a slight chill in the morning air - the first sign that fall is imminent. Those mornings were my favorite growing up.

Fall in South Georgia is one of the simple things in life that brings me immeasurable joy.

I miss those muddy South Georgia rivers & creeks...

But my real reason for loving the smell of that crisp Georgia air was that it meant the Albany Autumn Classic Charity Horse Show was right around the corner.

that's not me by the way...

Then not long after that - the annual AHAF Thanksgiving Arabian Horse Show in Florida. Showing and training Arabian horses was my passion - briefly my career - and now a fond memory. I hope to one day have it back in my life.

Another thing from my childhood I miss greatly is our yearly family vacations in the mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

What's your favorite thing about fall?

Saturday!!!

And I don't have to work!!!

I had a horrid day yesterday that I'd pretty much just like to erase - so I'm starting this weekend off right. It's midnight and I've got a pina colada in hand. What good is working in the helping profession if it just makes you an alcoholic??? Sheesh... but I'm not going in to it - let's just say it was friggin' horrid. 
So.... What fun and exciting plans do you have for the weekend my little monsters??? 
I've got Bestie's grad school graduation party tonight. (WOO! PAR-TAY!) and Sunday my fabulous friend Deb is coming over to help me paint my bedroom. 
I'm still torn on the colors - I want my black bedroom!!! But there's that pesky brown bathroom I've already got. Deb and I will have to contemplate this... 
Anyway - here's some Music For The Morning!
Remember yesterday's song? Here's the original version:

It's a little different, but still awesome! It describes my part of Georgia perfectly. Though I still like Jason Aldean's version too!
And here's more memories of home...
