It's that time of year when my mother gives me the speech that starts off with: " It was 7:00 am and the church bells were ringing.........." Yes folks it's your's truly's birthday! Last year was the leagaly allowed to drink birthday, this year it's let's just get wasted birthday. Happy 22nd Love.

How many of us remember this quirky store in Wayne? With all the crazy fountains in front. I drove past it a few times a week when I was at MSU. Who would have guessed it would have gifted an awesome band with its name. Fountains of Wayne. If you haven't checked them out yet, do so now!! Maybe you've heard their hit Stacy's Mom, or Mexican Wine. But songs like Denise and Prom Theme are equally brilliant in melody & humor. Check them out: fountainsofwayne.com

Fall is here, fall is here! I sing as I dance around the house. I for one love the fall season, such a beautiful time of year. As much as I hate change I love this one time of year when the leaves change color from it's gorgeous green to bright reds and awesome oranges and yellows, then fall of the tree's into perfect piles for jumping. So bundle up, grab a cup of hot coco and a good book,( currently reading Memoirs of a Geisha ) and head outdoors, before the beauty of autumn is gone for another year.
