Welcome October! Hello Fall!

Saw this gorgeous pic on Pinterest, not sure who created it, but I love it. It sums up how I feel about October: crisp, sunny, bright and hopeful.

September was SUPER BUSY and such a long month, as I write this on the last day of September, I am reminded the month began with hot rainy weather and Labor Day...and seemed like eons ago. 

Now it's cool and sunny and Fall is here. I still have yet to get kayaking but the leaves haven't even started changing yet so hopefully in a few weeks a colorful paddle with be awesome. 

Work is getting busier so plenty of sleep and drinking lots of water is in order, as well as getting back in the pool to teach.

Here's to October!!

The Walking Dead New Season Debuts Sunday 10/11; Walker Stalker Con Thrills in Philly

The Walking Dead is BACK for its sixth season starting this Sunday October 11 on AMC, and we are so excited!!

What's going to happen to the group?
Is Rick going to settle down or get more dangerous?
What does Morgan have to say about Rick's transformation?
Is Carol going to make more cookies?
Which fave character might get killed off...even in the 90 minute premiere on Sunday..!?
And just how sexy can Daryl get, anyhow?

I recently had the opportunity to meet some of the cast at Philly's Walker Stalker Con at the Greater

Philly Expo Center in Oaks, and these people could not have been cooler! 

The Con was a great experience for all zombie lovers, as it was on a smaller scale and was more focused towards The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. It gave attendees an opportunity to get close to the casts, attend panels, ask questions, meet their favorite actors and immerse themselves in the zombie culture.

They all said they are looking forward to the new season, and know the audience is going to be in for even more twists and turns as the group from Atlanta fights to survive in the zombie Apocalypse.

Lennie James was an absolute pleasure. An accomplished actor, working on the Walking Dead is a new realm that gives his considerable acting chops a stretch. Coming from the series Jericho and the Low Winter Sun, Lennie immerses himself into the role of Morgan, a man who lost his family and veered almost off the rains, to step back into Rick's life to hopefully save him once again. He told me to get ready for season 6..we are going to see a new level...

It was so great to meet Melissa Ponzio! Her character as level-headed Karen who fell in love with Tyreese was wonderful to watch- ahh finally love among the corpses.

Until she became one, of course, burning to a crisp! Karen still rocks it on Teen Wolf and Chicago Fire. She said working with the cast on TWD was fantastic and she had a great time!

October Goals!

Ahh good bye September you served me well!

I hit most of my goals:

Stayed at EXACTLY my budget, got a new writing client, took a great vacation and spent most of the month outside when I wasn’t working, swam more, said lots of prayers thanking God and the universe for what I have, and seeing family more.
We also cut a lot of clutter at our neighborhood yard sale.

Now onto October! Goals!

• Kayak one more time
• Hit up the beach one more time (NOTE, GORGEOUS DAY IN AV FOR SEAFOOD FEST ON OCTOBER 11)
• Blog every week in both blogs (note- so far so good!)
• Pay down debt of course
• Cut clutter- working on it! 

Plus I’m looking forward to events every weekend, crisp air, bright leaves, pumpkins, Halloween parties, festivals, family and friends!
