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