Well it's the return of Fabulous Friday! I don't know if I can keep up with it weekly again, but I wanted to bring it back today because of things I'm finding fabulous!
1. Gingerbread Pop Tarts - They're back! I discovered these last year and fell in love and I saw them at the store on Sunday and said I need to have these in my life again! Yum. And as I said when I mentioned I also liked the Pumpkin Pie ones - yes I am a 7 year old child.
2. My new iPhone! - You knew this would be on the list right? I am having a lot of fun learning how it works and playing with apps - most of which I have gotten free so far! That makes me very happy.
3. The Muppets - Yes, I've been raving for days but I'll do it again. Best movie ever. You just need to see it. End of story.
4. Christmas decorations - My house is all decked out and I love the new white lights I put on my tree this year!
5. My new red purse - my parents (really it was my mom who picked it out) got me a red purse for my birthday (yes I know, do I need another purse?) and let me tell you, I love this one. It's a great size and it has fun compartments for things. I adore it and I hope to carry it through most of December.
There you go! The sun is out and I'm smiling. What are you finding fabulous today?

Fabulous Friday - 10/7
Hola! It is Friday again! Some weeks go by so fast. It's funny, the week was calmer for us too, but it still flew by. I won't complain, the weekend is almost here and that's awesome. And here is my weekly list of other awesome, fabulous things.
1. Tubs dumpsters - I highly recommend Tubs, while the "Tub" itself isn't huge, the price is reasonable and the people on the phone are very easy to deal with. And it just feels so good to have purged a bunch of stuff!
2. Spotify - I've been using Spotify online radio and I love it - it's free and allows me to try out entire albums before buying. There are a few ads interspersed, but it hasn't been too bad so far. I believe it's available to anyone now, but if you find you need an invite, let me know and I'll hook you up.
3. Clothes Mentor - Yeah, yeah, I've talked about Clothes Mentor at length here before and I won't go crazy this time except to say that I sold a bunch of stuff to them on Sunday (that I may have turned around and just bought new things with, I'll never tell. Wink.) and they are just so awesome.
4. Fall smells - I've started burning my fall scented candles from Partylite, like Ginger Pumpkin, Spiced Cider and Leaves of Fun. I love it. I love making my house smell good!
Have a great weekend!

Wednesday musings
Dare I even say out loud that things are on a pretty even keel at the moment?
I have a nice handle on things for Oktoberfest this year. It's in less than two weeks and I'm not in a crazy rushed panic like I was last year! I suppose it helps that Dad and Nate aren't still building the bar! The snags Nate ran into last week are more or less corrected. He has one more part coming so he can actually add the 7th tap. It is pretty exciting.
Yesterday we filled up a "Tub" style dumpster with some junk we've been meaning to get rid of for awhile now. It isn't a huge dumpster so we weren't able to get rid of everything, but we managed to throw out the concrete from the old laundry sink and several doors we've replaced. Man it feels good to purge sometimes! We'll do it again this spring more than likely.
Driving to and from work this week I have been in absolute awe of the Fall colors. I know I keep saying that but seriously, the hues, reds, oranges, golds....they are amazing. And while I don't love warm weather at this time of year, I am also keeping it in perspective and enjoying it while it last because sometimes it still feels like yesterday that we were shoveling out from 12 inches of snow.
I miss my morning walks and runs with Nate, but man has he been sleeping good lately. And he's doing better overall. We're still struggling to make time for evening walks, but I still think we'll get some of those in before the snow falls!
I'm back to a "living in the moment" kind of pace and I'm feeling more peaceful and serene. I'm ignoring the little voice that tries to creep up saying "but where's the other shoe?" because you know what, it might be out there waiting to fall, but I am not going to be concerned with that. I will instead enjoy these warm, happy feelings every second that I have them.

Fabulous Friday 9/30/11
It's Fabulous Friday! Here's what I am finding fabulous this week:
1. Fall Color - Seriously, have you looked outside lately? It is amazing! I hear it's even better up north. Wish I was able to run off for a getaway this weekend to check it out. We do have our family golf tournament tomorrow though and I imagine that the colors at the golf course will be awesome.
2. Weddings - I am off early today for a friend's wedding! Weddings are such wonderful happy events. And it makes me happy to see my friends finding happiness and someone to spend their lives with! Side note - I always wanted a fall wedding but the timing just didn't work out right, so I have to admit, I'm a little jealous of her glorious fall day for a wedding, but I will live vicariously!
3. Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts - Yes I am a 10 year old girl. But seriously, a friend of mine blogged about these last year and I didn't get to try them in time since they were limited edition. I did get to try the Gingerbread ones last year and I loved those, so when I saw the Pumpkin Pie ones at the store yesterday, I had to grab them and check them out. And guess what? They are tasty!! I love them! Healthy? Probably not but it's a special treat, so it's all good.
4. Found money - so it was only a dollar bill, but I was putting on my jeans this morning and noticed something in the pocket. I figured I had just washed my grocery list again as I'm known to do. Nope, it was a dollar bill! Every little bit helps sometimes.
5. Bubble baths - I mentioned that the other night I took an amazing bubble bath. I love that it's getting cooler out and I can enjoy bubble baths again. I don't do it every day, but once a week or so it's a nice treat through the fall and winter!
There you have it! What are you finding fabulous today? Happy weekend!
