Last week one of my coworkers announced that he would not be having a pumpkin spiced latte until October 1st, well it is officially October and we are ten days into fall. In New York City October means the weather will slowly shift to cooler temperatures and the leaves changing colors. I have created a list of 15 things to do in 30 days, a bit aggressive but yes, these are my seasonally themed goals this month:
- Carve a Pumpkin
- Donate to a Food Bank
- Shop at a Farmer’s Market
- Go Trick-or-Treating and Give Out Candy
- Visit a Haunted House
- Have a Photo Shoot in a Leaf Pile
- Volunteer at a Food Bank or Soup Kitchen
- Go to a Halloween Costume Party
- Make a Fall Themed Mantle
- Find or Make a Halloween Costume
- Enjoy Pumpkin Pie
- Jump in a Pile of Leaves
- Make and Eat Caramel Apples
- Roast and Eat Pumpkin Seeds
- Go to Starbucks for Pumpkin Spice Latte
Half of these things I remember from childhood – making carmel apples with my mother and my brother at the kitchen table was so much fun, as were jumping in the leave piles my dad would rake up in the yard. I remember a few times a year my brother and I got jump to our hearts content and my dad would even make sure to de-stick the pile before we went to town.
On the other hand, some of these are new. Before last November I do not think I had ever had anyone take pictures of me for the purpose of showing people my outfit but I have found it is so much fun. I am already thinking of what I want to wear and if I can ask Mr. Runway Chef to take the photos for me. Oh, and since I just achieved Gold status crossing off the pumpkin latte from the list might be the first one accomplished!
What is on your October to-do list?
