I can hardly believe we’re heading into Fall. I enjoy summer and warm weather but I love the back half of the year so much more. Bring it on!<\/p>\n

So yes, this means it’s time for an end of summer Happy Things<\/b> post…<\/p>\n

1. Going to Knott’s Berry Farm<\/a> last Saturday to celebrate a good friend’s birthday. I haven’t been there since high school so it was definitely an eye-opener to see what’s still around (Montezooma’s Revenge!<\/a>) and what’s new (uhhh… pretty much everything else). Sadly, I felt every bit my age by the end of the day. LOL.<\/p>\n

2. 4-day Labor Day weekend! AWESOME.<\/p>\n

3. TV marathons. So far this summer, I’ve watched the first 2 seasons of True Blood<\/i> and started season 3. AND I recently discovered that Mad Men<\/i> is available to stream instantly on Netflix so that’s probably the next show I’ll try to catch up on.<\/p>\n

4. The local dollar movie theatre. Well ok, it’s really a $2 theatre. I’ve missed quite a few summer blockbusters (Super 8, Bridesmaids<\/i>, etc) so I’m looking forward to catching them here.<\/p>\n

5. Last weekend Rob was in Las Vegas for a boys’ weekend and he came home with MACARONS for me. Probably one of my most favorite treats EVER. IAMSOSPOILED. Obligatory pic because they’re so YUM.<\/p>\n

Bonus happy thing!<\/p>\n

6. Watching old episodes of So You Think You Can Dance<\/a>. Specifically seasons 2 and 3. I still love the show but I mourn the earlier seasons when there was more variety — in terms of dancers, genres, and choreography. The show has become WAY too contemporary-focused in recent years.<\/p>\n

Annnndddd that’s all folks. Have a FAB weekend. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
