In case you didn't know... my birthday is October 4th... and that's where the name 'tenfour' came from! I love my birthday month for lots of reasons! A couple years ago, It was brought to my attention a few years ago that 10-4 is 'National Vodka Day' AND 'National Taco Day'! (easy gift ideas for me, hehe)
If you're a Mean Girls fan like I am.... you also know October 3rd is a day of celebration!
October 3rd is also Gwen Stefani's birthday! She's been my muse for as long as I can remember! (can you believe she'll be FIFTY next year?!) I lived on Guam a couple years, and because of the time difference, Gwen and I shared a birthday! One of the best birthday cakes I ever had was one that said "happy birthday Jamie and Gwen" and there were two Barbie dolls placed on top... one blonde and one brunette! (thanks, John! So creative!)
October is also PLAYOFF BASEBALL! It's such an exciting time, this year, in particular because two of my three teams (Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros) have a chance to win it all! For anyone who says that baseball is boring hasn't watched playoff baseball!
A few years back, I decided I was gonna watch hockey and hockey starts in October! So, if I don't have playoff baseball teams, hockey softens that blow! I'm hoping for a successful season for my Edmonton Oilers!
Lots of TV shows come back too! Don't get me wrong, I like some reality shows (like Project Runway, RuPaul's Drag Race, you know, ones that showcase TALENT) but there's no replacing a great sitcom or drama!
And the most obvious reason for loving October is that it's HALLOWEEN! I've always loved coming up with costumes and I love decorating for the holiday! My home has skull pieces in it year-round! I try and stock up November 1st when it's all on clearance!
I hope that October 2018 is the best October yet!
