let's see . . . i woke up in a cleaning frenzy on friday. from the moment i was out of bed it was sweep this, straighten that, dust this, reorganize that. the results were quite rewarding! i also made sure my finances were in order. fact: i still "balance" my checkbook! i did finally go digital with it earlier this year. for the longest time i was still using those checkbook balancing books that my bank gives out hahaha!. but yes, i am a numbers geek in so many ways. hmmm, what else? . . . i took care of bills and list making. fact: i cannot shop without a list. i get super overwhelmed and forget why i am even at the store. oh! and i carved out 45 minutes for a dynamic, all-over muscle warming (and sculpting) vinyasa flow. it's been about three weeks since i've laid it all out on my yoga mat, and boy did it feel amazing!

the dude and i spent the night with friends. one of our "couples" friends absolutely loves to entertain, and threw her 2nd annual Octoberfest party. i sampled a couple of delicious craft beers, but stuck to my pic of the evening, a Rogue Pumpkin Patch Ale. it is seriously like drinking in the flavors of fall! spicy and with such rich notes of pumpkin. i will be picking up another bottle before it's gone for the season. i also indulged in many a scrumptious snack that night. among my favorites was this pumpkin cookie. i am truly, absolutely, positively obsessed with pumpkin everything. i feel like a lot of girls say this, but i am serious as a heart attack.

saturday and sunday were deep, deep, super deep cleaning days spent at the apartment. yesterday we finally go to turn in our keys! yippee hooray for sure!! we've had a whole plethora of issues with maintenance and management since moving in three years ago, so while i would normally have been a little sad to turn in my keys and put a close to another chapter, i was ecstatic. it was more like goodbye and good riddance!
hmmm . . . other highlights include a 4.5 hour salon visit where my hair stylist beautified my coif. i had an idea of what i wanted it to look like, but he surpassed my expectations like always. :)

other than that, i did a lot of shopping yesterday. target. where i found a hat and broom for my homemade witch costume. really, it consists of this flowy, black dress and uber cute heels i bought at Urban Outfitters for a roaring 20s party last year. home depot. michael's. i have this crafting itch and bought a ton of stuff to make a fall wreath. pictures will definitely be up soon! trader joe's. and vons. phhewww!! so much done in really not that much time at all.
i finally relaxed over cooking dinner (i truly find cooking to be one of the most relaxing activities) and a glass of wine. i never did snap a pic, but the pumpkin turkey chili (i told you i am obsessed with pumpkin) i made is on tonight's menu. i will not disappoint this time!
well, i hope everyone has a great week!
what are your holloween plans? are you going to dress up?
