Heat Wave...In October?

As anyone who knows me knows, I LOVE fall! Well, this past week  Manitoba was hit with a heat wave. I figured that since it was October the hot weather was over and my favorite fall weather would be here to stay. Or at least here to stay until Manitoba freezes over. It was ridiculous! Temperatures reached over 30C! I was looking forward to cozy sweaters and bringing out my scarf collection but for the week I had to bring out my summer attire AGAIN. I guess it wasn't bad because everyone likes a heat wave when there really shouldn't be one. Well I think that we're back in Fall mode starting this weekend. According to the forecast the temperatures will be dropping(along with the leaves) and we'll be expecting some rain....I am so excited!!!! I'm such a weirdo to love cool temperatures and rain but I don't care!
October is here and that means Fall programming(TV) is in full force. There are so many great shows on this season. I've weened myself off of many of the reality shows I was addicted to such as Survivor, ANTM, Amazing Race, etc. and I have replaced that addiction with a comedy/drama addiction. My new fave shows include New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, Ringer and a few other wonderful shows. Of course there are my old favorites like Big Bang Theory, Parenthood and Mike & Molly but it's still nice to throw a few new shows in the mix.
Another awesome thing that October has brought is a new phone for me. Adam and I picked up an iPhone4 for me yesterday. My other cell phone didn't like me anymore and decided to be temperamental and some days it would work while other days the battery would die shortly after coming off of the charger. It also was looking a little sad as well. It was missing a button and the case that I had on it was dirty looking and cracked. My MTS contract was close to it's expiration date so we figured it was time to retire my Motorola Rocker. I love my new iPhone. It's white and has a case that looks like a monster. I've been having so much fun installing Apps and playing games on it. You can't be board with an iPhone in your hand.
As well as cooler weather, this weekend brings Thanksgiving. Monday we'll celebrate this wonderful holiday with a family dinner at my dad and step mom's. Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. It's so wonderful to spend time with family and friends. What are you thankful for? I am truly thankful for the life I live. I have a wonderful family and wonderful fiance and wonderful family to be. I'm thankful that we live in a country that is free of war. As Canadians we are truly blessed to live in such a great country.
Enjoy this beautiful weather and your Thanksgiving weekend. Don't forget to think about what you are thankful for. And on a side note Christmas is only 79 sleeps away...according to an app on my iPhone. LOL. I am thankful for all of you that read this, if there are any of you out there that do. Happy Thanksgiving!! xoxo
