18 days into October...

Yes, bloggers and blogettes, my birthday fast approaches. I will be accepting the milestone of my quarter-life. I will be celebrating the 4th anniversary of my 21st birthday. And I will not be doing it at Atlantic Dance Hall. Nope, I prefer copious amounts of food and wine over awkward skinny dancing guy and retirees.

In lieu of facebook wall messages, I'd prefer the following gifts:

1.) snow.

2.) mad booty shaking skills.

3.) for spats and slap bracelets to come back in style.

4.) magenta hair.

5.) constant instrumental underscore, and un-rehearsed choreography.

It's a short list, I've got most of what I need already.

The greatest month of the year...

Ladies and Jellyspoons, today is the first day of the greatest month of the year: OCTOBER!!! I'm in LOVE with this month and here's why:

1. Halloween, obviously, is the most exciting holiday of the year, and October saves the best for last. I hope you all have planned your costumes. But don't make them better than mine.

2. It's the only month that starts with O.

3. The prefix "oct" means 8, but October is the tenth month, which means it's cheeky, and I support clever things.

4. It's my birth month. (October 18th. I'll be blogging about that later, i'm sure).

5. I look better in reds and oranges than greens. So my complexion looks better when i'm climbing trees.

6. I love pumpkins, people shaped like pumpkins, and the nickname "Punkin".

7. I love pumpkin spiced things including candles, lattes, muffins, toothpaste, air fresheners, and edible underpants...i mean...

8. It starts getting cool. And in Florida, I do mean "starts" getting cool.

9. It's a popular awareness month: breast cancer, domestic violence, fire prevention, my birthday...

10. Oktoberfest. This month is one big happy hour. (Sorry it's spelled with a k, Bry.)

So, ghouls and goblins, Donnie and Maries, and salt and pepper shakers, have an Octastic October!!!!
