Yep, that’s right. It’s Monday again! It was a nice beautiful sunny day again today, and I enjoyed a lunchtime stroll. Although it was in the 80s today, fall is definitely in the air and there is a breeze I can hear now in the trees that sounds like a season change.

Thus, today’s edition of Make My List Monday will be the “Falling for Fall” edition.

1. Plan Chicago trip for next month with my mom and sister. Savannah proved too expensive to fly to, so we’re making it the Windy City, baby!
2. Sit outside and soak up some last minute summer sun as it sets in the reflection of the building across from us.
3. Meet up with coworkers for “midweek” (Tuesday) Happy Hour. Much needed as I cope with “fall scheduling,” etc…
4. Start scouring Etsy for gifts as BIRTHDAY SEASON in my family approaches. You lucky ducks!
5. Figure out when we’re going to the Renaissance Festival and buy tickets/ consider costumes.
6. Watch season premiere of Parenthood on Tuesday, to continue seeing how they portray the Autism Spectrum, if I approve, etc.
7. Start musing about Holiday Craft projects for friends and family. Yes, already. Seriously. Yes, before Halloween. So that I can craft at my leisure, not during December when I’m too busy to want to do crafts.
8. Wear some of my new autumn-ish clothes I bought last weekend during momma time. It’s supposed to drop about 20-30 degrees in the next few days.
9. Research apple orchards, pumpkin patches, vineyards, etc. for fall outings.
10. Eat up some late summer produce before its gone-zo. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers galore in this house! I wish I could say they are homegrown!
