i am...

getting ready for fall.

i’ve always had mixed feelings about Labor Day. there’s something bittersweet about summer coming to an end. the days have already started turning dark earlier in the evening and i've started planning for thanksgiving and christmas - wow. it was a nice long weekend – for yet another movie (Bourne Legacy), a couple of dinner parties, yard work and getting everything organized before I head out to Austin next week.

Here I am with my work gal pal, Jen. I've learned that getting something done is far more achievable and enjoyable if the goal is shared. If you make it fun and If you give yourself a break once in a while.

Never travel without a latte.
