I had a wonderful fun-filled yet relaxing summer. Did some travelling but not as much as I wanted. I didn't get to go to my spot in Panama cuz I have a long-term tenant in it. That's okay though cuz it's mo money, Mo Money, MO MONEY!

I was also blessed with some lucrative business opportunities, so I have ZERO complaints.

Now, that fall's around the corner, I'm looking forward to a lot of things:

1. Cooler temperatures

2. Going to Curacao for a week for the North Sea Jazz Festival. Awesome lineup!

3. Getting my new pair of Valentino suede boots in the mail.

4. Getting a phat check for my last project.

5. Spending lotsa quality time with friends and family in the coming months.

6. Going to Las Vegas in October.

7. Celebrating my fabulousness with a grand fete in December

8. The seasonal art auction at my favorite art gallery. I gotta get that bronze Erte sculpture in my collection!

What are YOU looking forward to?

I think I will have that only when I am dead

I can be completely content and then something will happen like my dad calling, or my stove exploding and I'm back to square one

Best wishes !

Spent the whole summer with my daughter which was cool.

Just realized I lost the pictures when resetting my computer to factory settings. Not cool.

For fall I am looking forward to:

Planned trip to Vegas and Dallas (for a football game and drinking) end of September, beginning of October.

Going back to school which = more money for me.

Hosting Halloween for some friends in the creepy ass shed in my backyard. They go crazy decorating the yard each year. This year, they're doing it at my place and giving out candy from there. Should be interesting.

- Finishing kitting out the little 'getaway' apartment we're renting with TV, laptop and stuff so that it has everything we need.

- Going to the beach, either Hua Hin in the next couple of months or Phuket just before Xmas (around wedding anniversary time).

- Cleaner living. It's time to make some changes.

- Having another of our nephews come to stay later this year for a few weeks and seeing him play with our youngest nephew. They're so cute together.

- Continuing to get fitter and stronger this year.

(Fingers crossed) I'm going to have a good number of fairly large pumpkins by mid-October.
