song of the day: 'wildfire' by michael martin murphey

i had such a fun weekend! had a great day at my shop on saturday, tons of people and good sales. then we went to tulsa to visit friends and eat delicious chili. while we were over there, i found out that one of my bestest friends is pregnant! we've already started talking about names and planning a baby shower. she's going to be a wonderful mommy. and she admittedly stalks my blog so i know she'll read this. Congrats Stacy and David!!!!!

and yesterday was spent relaxing. i took a wee nap and watched my new england patriots clobber the pittsburgh steelers. it was a great game. it was sad though because i had to watch most of it by myself. matt had to get up at 3:30 this morning for work! he went to bed with the chickens and i stayed up and watched the game, cheered by myself, and shopped on etsy (made a plaid poncho purchase and am super pumped to get it in the mail).

and today is the last day to enter the pledge giveaway!!! if you haven't put the button on your blog (and you want to, i mean, no pressure or anything) then get it done today and i'll put you in on the giveaway drawing. i've already started a list of those of you who have chosen to pledge. i'm so excited about it, you guys! i love seeing my button on your blog but even more proud that you are choosing to do this with me. i know that some of you have talked about buying locally too and i think that totally works along side of this pledge. so do it today and let me know!!! i want to list you all in a post :)

i don't know what it is, but especially since the weather turned cooler, i've been craving a different style. more back to my preppy roots. i think these boots kinda lend themselves to a more equestrian/polished look. and since i wear them basically every day........ but i just love this scarf that i picked up at my favorite thrift store. it has little jockey laden horses on it. plus it helped to keep my neck warm while taking these pictures. it was a bit colder this morning than i had thought. my fingers were a bit chilled by the end. and since i'm the best mom on the block, sent my child to school only wearing a longsleeve shirt and no jacket. soooo awesome of me, no?

and now, i'm off to run. only three more weeks until my race!!!!

song of the day: 'autumn leaves' by nat king cole

i drove by this tree and thought the color was so beautiful against the clear blue autumn sky. it was just brilliant! the pretty fall leaves are a little hit or miss at this time of year, a lot of them have already fallen and made the trees bare, but there are still some lovely spots in town. i'm trying to capture them before it's gone for the season. i feel like i'm just getting into fall and i know it won't last much longer. especially with the time change. i'm so not ready for the bitterness of winter. hopefully it won't be too cold this year. although, i always get excited for the first snow!

i want to thank all of you who are taking the pledge with me! please spread the word so we can all make a difference. and remember, if you leave me a comment on my original post, you'll be entered into the giveaway next monday!!!
