1.  I turned 28!  I thought that 28 would freak me out, but I think I'm going to love all 365 days of it.
2.  I neglected to name an NCAA Football Player of the Week.  Twice.  I blame this on my birthday celebration, an unintended Halloween celebration and a slight cold (which is almost gone -- thank goodness).
3.  I became obsessed with West Wing reruns on Bravo.  I've set my DVR to record them every time they air.  I wasn't a huge West Wing fan during the height of its popularity, but I now see what I missed.  TV makes working in the White House look so glamorous!
4.  I've made more (minor) changes to the apartment.  I've come to realize that I will be decorating my apartment forEVER.  And I'm okay with that.  (Yes, Mom -- I will post pictures soon.)
5.  I started getting excited about the fall!  The shift from summer to fall always wreaks havoc on my skin (and my sinuses, for that matter), but I am still excited for scarves and leather totes and hot chocolate and Thanksgiving!  Speaking of Thanksgiving, I'm anxious to try this recipe, but with sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin.  Yum.
