Wow... 

It's been forever since I've posted. 

I finally have a minute or two to relax, so I figured a post was necessary!

What I'm loving this Wednesday..... 

I'm loving that Thanksgiving is ONE week away!

I'm loving (and VERY thankful) that I have a garage and I don't have to scrape windows on these frosty mornings!

I'm loving a new drink at Starbucks -- Skinny Caramel Macchiato. Seriously, I've had it 3 times in the past week.  AND enjoying this drink in a lovely red cup. 

I'm loving the cooler weather.. Dare I say that? Yikes, with my luck the weather will turn ridiculously cold. 

Finally, I'm loving the new Studio Shape workout posted on mybarre3! Love these workouts when I need to get a quick workout in and don't have time to head to Pure Barre or BarreAmped. 

I'm also loving that I am finally running again. And I say that loosely. Meaning, I ran once last week. But it was a great run! Must start training for a half-marathon next year. If I don't make myself train for a future run, i'll never get out there and run! Eeek...

What are you loving on this lovely Wednesday? 

Keeeeeneland!

It's opening weekend at Keeneland this week!!!

Unfortunately, I have to work on Friday, so I will not be attending on opening day. BUT! I will certainly be there on Saturday! I can't wait to throw on some boots, tights, dress and a scarf and head out to the races!

And the weather is supposed to be 78 and sunny! PERFECT fall Keeneland weather!

I'm loving this Lilly dress for only $98! Pair it with some boots and your ready for Keeneland!

Keeneland gets me in the mood to transition over to fall more than anything. I think I need to do some shopping for some new Keeneland outfits!

How about this Bourbon Pumpkin Pie milkshake for a little tailgating pre-race...

Sounds Ah-mazing!!

Things I love about Fall...

I cannot believe it is already OCTOBER!!!

How did time fly by so fast?! I have been CRAZY busy at school and staying late getting things ready. I turned my computer on for the first time in a week on Sunday. If you all know me at all, you know that I LIVE on my laptop!!! While I watch tv, I'm can almost always be found with my MBP on my lap doing some online shopping, stalking blogs, or wasting time on facebook. So for me to not be on the computer for a week straight is saying a lot!

ANYWAYS.....

How is it already October? And how is it already in the 40's?!?! I about froze my tush off this weekend! 

On Friday, we went down to Glasgow for the Homecoming game! It was a short trip, but I loved getting down there to see Ben's family for a little visit!

Perry loved the car ride, of course!

On Saturday, we did the DSACK Buddy Walk! It was soooooo chilly, but I loved every minute of it. They had miniature horses walking with us!

Some of things I've done the past week include....

Baking pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

I love all things pumpkin. And this muffins did not disappoint! Seriously, so easy, and so good!

Just cake mix, a can of pumpkin and 1/2 cup of water! I found the recipe here:

And another favorite recipe for tailgates and parties...

Buffalo Chicken Dip! Mmmm

And my favorite fall candle. 

Candleberry Hot Maple Toddy! Seriously, you can have this thing going for 30 minutes and it will make you house smell wonderful for the rest of the day. Loves it. 

And my new favorite drink from Starbucks...

Grande Soy Misto with 1 pump Pumpkin Spice. SO GOOD!

What are your favorite things about fall??

Where did summer go?!

I can't believe it's already September. The pool days are over. No more weekend trips to the lake. It really did fly by!!

Even though we started back to school 4 weeks ago, I still loved having the weekends to lay around the pool, or go out to dinner and sit on the patio. But I'm ready to say goodbye to the 90 degree weather, and nights where it's so hot you can barely enjoy whatever you doing! 

HELLO FALL and cooler temperatures!

Lexington had a glimpse of cooler weather today with highs in the 60's. 

It was a little shocking when I walked outside this morning, but needless to say, it was a nice break from the near 100 degree weather we had last week! 

Labor day weekend flew by. Of course. 

Saturday morning, we headed down to Glasgow to spend the day on the lake. It was hot out!!! But the lake wasn't too crowded and it was a perfect little getaway. 

We drove back to Lexington Sunday, and this little pup was worn out! He loves going down to Ben's parents house because he can run and run in the yard. 

Today, we got back in the car and headed up north for some shopping. The Cincinnati outlets are an hour an a half away and a great little day trip. 

I love going when they switch over to seasons because there are LOTS of sales!!! We both found some great deals on clothes/shoes/etc. 

I can't wait for cooler weather to wear scarves, sweaters and boots!!! 

And tomorrow morning, I'm waking up early and heading to Starbucks for the first PSL of the season :)

Have a great week!!!
