wake me up when September ends

this post title actually is false advertising because I'm loving September so far. granted, we're only 6 days in, but it's been a great 6 days. and it's only looking up from here. this is why:

1) Mumford & Sons have a new album coming out on the 24th. I've mentioned it before, but I love these guys. I'm excited to see what they've come up with this time.

2) also on the 24th is the season premiere of How I Met Your Mother! Ben and I are hosting a premiere party at our apartment and I am pumped. that Monday is going to be the best Monday ever.

3) this autumn means dying my hair! this is an incredibly lame thing to be excited about, but I'm ready for change. the bangs thing didn't work the way I'd hoped, so once the cooler weather comes, my light summery hair goes. I'm thinking of going dark like Megan Foxy Fox up there.

4) it's football season! I don't really care about the actual sport, but football season means football parties and going out to bars and lazy Sundays on the couch while Ben watches and I play around on my computer. so that's going to be fun. also, Ben is a tried and true Giants fan and I happen to think that they all have cool names. I mean, Hakeem Nicks and Osi Umenyiora? that's awesome.

5) starting today, I'm trying a diet of no dairy for a month. that means no cheese, none of my beloved queso, no delicious ice cream, and no milk. I'm not excited about it, but I am. lately, I've been feeling so blah and my skin has been going crazy, and I think that maybe dairy is to blame. so here's to trying new things and self control. we'll see how this one goes. 

6) last but not least, when the time finally comes to accept the cooler weather and put away my sundresses, I will be dressed like this all the time. the cute boots and sweaters and scarves are calling my name and at the end of the month, I will finally answer them.

see, September is going to be awesome! 
are you guys excited for it or mourning the loss of summer a little bit too?
if we could just skip winter, I think I'd embrace autumn with open arms, but for now, I'm going to go play outside in my barefeet while I still can.
