UPDATE: October is my favorite month of the year!

I have no idea why it is my favorite month of the year.  It could be because my hometown had actual seasons...well as close to California gets to having seasons. :)  The leaves would change, the flannel shirts would come out (kidding...kinda), we could dress really warm, it was just a lot of fun growing up.  By the beach, not much changes in the way of seasons unless you count the palm trees shredding and having to swerve around branches as not to pop your tires with the prickly tips.  Although, I think that is a myth.  I never heard of anyone who it actually happened to. haha

SIDENOTE: I don't really understand why anyone other than surfers would want to live by the beach after living here nearly half of my life.  I went to the beach MORE when I lived in the desert.  Perhaps it is because now I look at the contamination levels of the water, hear about spills, all the stuff that makes you say "ewww" to going in the ocean.  I think I have also been spoiled by swimming in the ocean surrounding both Hawaii and the Caribbean where it is warm and you can see your feet!

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE horror movies, horror and Halloween related events...so this is definitely the right month for me!  Dressing up in costumes, going to parties, just having fun!  Also, Yankee candles comes out with some great scents this month.  I have also heard a lot of buzz about Bath and Body Works new candle fragrance called Leaves.  I think I might try that out.  I usually order the pumpkin spice type scent from Party Lite at this time of the year, but I don't know anyone who sells it anymore.  Good thing, because I always get suckered by direct sales. :)

Also, October is Italian Heritage month!  Check out this site http://www.italianheritagemonth.com or Google Italian Heritage month for more information!  I am updating this blog because I also just found out this is Hispanic Heritage Month.  Both of my nationalities celebrated in one month!  I wish we had Italian festivals here.  The Hispanic Heritage Month starts September 15th and ends October 15th.  However, we have various festivals and celebrations all year in my area.

So what do you all love about October?
