Thursday night, I embarked on a little road trip to do some birthday shopping for my almost 12 year old niece. She’ll celebrate her birthday next week with a Taylor Swift themed party. While I was buying her present, I added some more Pumpkin Spice flavored foods to my pantry.
Last month took me to Market District in Murrysville where I took advantage of gift cards from my birthday and our work celebration party in August. This time I traveled to Monroeville where I shopped at Target and Giant Eagle. The two stores are next to each other just like at Hempfield, but much bigger.
I had success buying her present and replenishing some food I liked the first time around, like the Pumpkin Spice pretzels since they were so good. I’ll put out some of those Maple cookies and make some Pumpkin cheesecake bars. I also picked up a six pack of October-fest beer 🍺. It’s best to enjoy this as I want to be ready to plan for Thanksgiving by November 1.
Christmas is coming and I spotted some Christmas lights as well as some Christmas vinyl at Target.
Next weekend will be busy as Annabelle will be celebrating her birthday at Karate and enjoying the company of her cousins at the Gaffron Family Fall picnic. Monday is her actual birthday and she want to go to Hibachi for dinner. This week, I’ll continue my Fall coffee tour at Cutie’s as I try a Cherry Pie Chai and Maple Cutie Latte. I’ll go down on Saturday (as opposed to my usual Sunday) as well since I’ll be at the picnic that day. Next Sunday is the one year anniversary for Cutie’s and in the morning there will be a market. I’ll be getting ready for our picnic so I likely won’t be able to make it out. This weekend is a perfect one to be out’n about with the Apple Festival in Delmont and a Gilmore Girls themed event Sunday in Indiana.
Brace yourself. It’s October and that means Fall Foliage pics, sweaters, and leather jackets. It also means end of era blogs are coming. This is the time when events in my life were coming to an end. Some of these were needed for me to make beneficial changes in my life.
It’s also the end of the rewatch episodes for the Office themed podcast, Office Ladies. Jenna and Angela aren’t going anywhere though as the podcast will be retooled and that makes its debut on October 7. Office Ladies debuted on October 16, 2019 with a weekly podcast recapping all the episodes from nine seasons of the popular show. That podcast and the show got most people through 2020 and the pandemic.
Taylor and her fans are in their Eras, I’ll be in my End of Eras this Fall.
