10 Things for October

10 Things That Make Me Insanely Happy

1. Halloween. It's a fun holiday. Not as cool as Thanksgiving, of course... But, Halloween is the first holiday of the holiday season. It ushers in a series of wonderful little events and activities. Plus, you get to dress up as something totally ridiculous and get away with it. Thumbs up for Halloween!

2. Grey's Anatomy. The entire show has gone down hill, but I still watch loyally. I can't get enough of McDreamy... Or... McSteamy... Or... Kirev...

3. Changing leaves. I'm a desert rat, thus I'm not a big fan of cold weather, but it's pretty sweet to see the leaves change with the temperature drop.

4. Boots, Mittens, and Scarves - oh my!

5. Kicked my nail-biting habit. For good. (Yess!)

6. Pedicures. They are quite lovely. I wear flip flops religiously, so my terrible little toes get a real beating. Thanks to the nail shop around the corner, they'll be looking fabulous by Sunday.

7. Greeting Cards. Snail mail is so under-rated. I just love sending and receiving cards in the mail. It's like a burst of sunshine emerging from the mailbox.

8. Luden's Throat Drops. I'm slowly recovering from a wicked head cold. Luden's Cherry Throat Drops are like candy, but oh-so helpful to soothe my sore throat. Indeed, there's a silver lining to everything. ;)

9. Researching doctoral programs. (Nerd alert!)

10. Countdowns to Vacations. (Thanksgiving = T - 51 days)
