September Resolutions

I realize its not quite Fall and most of the country, particularly the South, is still hot and humid but I can’t help it! As soon as September hits, I start thinking about sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and visiting the local apple orchard. And, I am feeling it even more this year because I started teaching in the fashion department at VCU! Because I am doing this in addition to my merchandising and e-commerce consulting work, its going to be a very busy semester and I don’t want all of the work to keep me from enjoying my favorite seasonal activities.

To that end, I created my first resolution list for the month of September:

  1. Take advantage of the Pumpkin Spice lattes and Autumnal beers while they are available!
  2. Finish going through all of the HUGE fashion magazines sitting on my coffee table.
  3. Stock up at the end of summer sales!
  4. Dig out all of my favorite fall decor items from the attic earlier in the season this year.
  5. Make plans to get home to see my family – its been way too long!
  6. Get back on my half-marathon training schedule! The Richmond Half will be here again before I know it.
  7. Visit the Home & Gift Show in Atlanta later in the month – looking forward to seeing my friend Katie while I am in town!
  8. Start looking extra early for the perfect Halloween costumes for my husband and I to run in at the Wicked 10K.
  9. Shop my local farmer’s market until it officially closes for the season.
  10. Buy pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins to enjoy as long as I can!

I will let you know how I did later in the month!
