Time Flies When You Are Having Fun

It is already August 20th. Where the hell did the year go! Honestly, it seems like just yesterday that I was surrounded at Common House with a boyfriend, my Eastover Friends and my oh-so-amazing college diva’s ringing in the New Year in nothing but all out party style! I have ended a year long relationship, gone back to school part-time, married away several other friends, taken several fabulous vacations and it all seems like yesterday. I know we all say “this year flew bye.” But honestly, this year has flown by…its already August 20th! GEEEZE

This all hit reality yesterday and today when “planning” went into full swing for the fall festivities. College football stole my heart my freshman year at NC State. Tailgating at the fairgrounds and enjoying a cold “beverage” with friends all while wearing my most comfortable jeans and either a GAP Favorite T or an NC State T-shirt….doesn’t get better than that! Being able to watch the season change on football Saturday’s at Carter Finley is a feeling I wish I had year round! Coupled with football games, there are birthdays, bridal showers, engagement parties, holidays, and bachelorette weekends. (My co-workers tell me that I can solve the problem of “overbooking” myself on the weekends if I would just get rid of my friends! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! They are my life!)

Anyway, I got into work this morning and added all of my “FUN” activities to my calendar and my head started spinning. CRAP – lots to do this fall. I am already planned well into December! WHERE DID THIS YEAR GO?!
