In denial that it’s already October. Â If only the weather reflected that!
Some highlights from the past week include spending an inspiring few days in Iowa City (more on that, I promise), rearranging our common room (strangely, it’s the original orientation but with new furniture), and geeking out over multiple seasons over The Big Bang Theory (because I’m a nerd, and you all know that).
Things I’m looking forward to this week – attending M.M LaFleur’s first Salon Series with Dana tonight, having a reunion of our summer potluck crew tomorrow, and celebrating Jessica’s birthday this weekend.
Other things that made my week:
- Have you met Aslan?  I’m fully obsessed with him – and I can’t wait to CUDDLE him on Thursday.  You’ve been warned, Grace (PS – go check out the gorgeous new Stripes and Sequins).
- A fun (and money-saving) fact – generic drugs are the same as prescription drugs. Â Save yourself the extra money and always go generic when it comes to even the basic of medicines. Â Just be sure that the drugs are manufactured in the United States/Europe.
- I’ve always been an admirer of Chelsea Clinton (a girl who suffered pre-flatironed hair and orthodontia with commentary by Rush Limbaugh), and this article made me an even bigger fan of hers. Â I dare say that she attained girl crush territory.
- Chocolate mousse made healthy? Â Thank you, Robin Quivers.
- Before I went on my young adult reading kick, I was enthralled by The Night Circus – highly recommended if you need an enjoyable, light-but-significant novel to get lost in.
- I found this feature on Angelina Jolie’s breast surgeon to be fascinating – as is the work that the Pink Lotus Breast Center is doing.  In my experience, cancer care centers are either top-notch and EXPENSIVE, or budget friendly and overly extended.  It’s nice to see one that focuses on quality care for everyone.
- I look forward to Usha’s monthly social post, and October may be my favorite yet. Â Betrayal and Madison Park Eats are high on my list of things to do this month.
What do you have going on this week? Â Any fun plans this weekend? Â COMMENT below and let me know!
