Enjoy my latest installment of Random Things: September 2023. From random things on my mind to what I’m reading or watching, here is a peak at my September.
7 Random Things on My Mind
- Bring on the cooler weather! We had an insane heat wave (schools closed early!) and it finally broke. Here’s to hoping Connecticut doesn’t see anything above 77 degrees for a very long time and we can enjoy fall in New England.
- We are going to Las Vegas next week to see a music festival… and it’s going to be well above 77 degrees on the first day of fall.
- It’s my first trip to Vegas! I don’t like to gamble, but I sure do love people watching.
- I love Bolognese, but I’ve yet to make my own that tastes amazing. I read this recipe is the best – and can’t wait to try it.
- Sometimes I want to dye my hair – especially seeing this fall’s trending hair color. I think it could maybe work for while I am not a full redhead, I do have natural auburn bits and pieces. The only thing holding me back is my failed attempt to be Lindsay Lohan in college (think “Christmas Caitlin.”)
- Speaking of Christmas, why is my daughter already asking about the Elves’ arrival date?
- Homemade stovetop fall potpourri is on my bucket list – so I made it over the weekend. It was easy to put oranges, lemon, apple, and cinnamon in a pot on the stove. But the smell was not as delicious as I anticipated. Perhaps I did it incorrectly?
On My Radar – September 2023
- It’s red wine season and Bonanza is still my favorite.
- “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” by Suzanne Collins – I’m a little late to the Hunger Games prequel party, but I needed to read the original before the movie comes out in November. I’m only 30% through but it’s so crazy to see Snow was a normal human being.
- The Hunger Games trilogy movies – I obviously had to watch all four movies while reading the book. I was a HUGE Hunger Games book fan and the movies were always amazing.
- Ballet flats are trending for Fall 2023… I’m so happy I invested in this pair last year, but now I want this pair of Chanel dupes too.
