The things I love about September.
- The Beginning of School (yes I know that most schools begin in August, but I feel that it really doesn't get started until September - this gives kids something to do in the neighborhood except for playing "Olympics" off the trampoline. Now this is actually quite funny because I actually enjoy watching out the window and watching the kids "RUN" and jump on the tiny exercise trampoline and see how far they can jump. My husband and I call it the Long Jump off the mini Trampoline. Admit it - you're now really interested in knowing how far you could jump off of the mini trampoline. These pre-teens have inspired you. Okay, maybe not - but it sure is refreshing to see children exercising and having fun outside instead of zipping up and down the street with loud ATVs.
- Cooler Weather = Warmer Clothes. It means, I can hide my hair with hats again. I love particular hats. I'm not sure if I can find my two favorite hats since we moved, but I'm gonna try because I love those things. Also, I am such a big lover of pants. If I had to choose between pants and shorts, I'd choose pants every single time. Until recently, I only wore shorts sparingly. However, it was so hot this summer - I had to wear shorts. Now there is one downside to September, it's that summer dresses are no longer fitting to wear - but that's okay it wasn't until the last few years that I began to wear dresses anyway. I've accumulated quite a few though.
- September = start of football season. Now I don't' care about football, but it means marching band is in full swing. Drive by any high school on a Friday night that has a marching band program and you can hear the sounds of instruments and the beating of a drum. My favorite time of year. Although when I marched, the season wasn't "enjoyable" until October.
- I tend to plan fun things in September. I don't know when this started, but it just did. Last year, I planned a Lyme Lunch with all of my online Lyme friends. In 2008, my husband and I went to the beach to participate in a CF walk for my friend Tricia. During that same time, I amazed myself by climbing two light houses. No big deal LOL. This month I went to the beach for a day trip, but I can promise you there will be no climbing of light houses! Also, the trip to Charlotte. AND a Lyme Lunch. It's also the "dating" anniversary of my husband and me. I know those don't count, but - when it's a big one like FIFTEEN YEARS - then it counts.
- Now you may think this one is kind of strange - odd - but I love September because it is the month my dearest friend Eva left this world and entered the kingdom of heaven. I hated it for me, but oh how I loved that my friend Eva was no longer in pain.
