I've been saving all the loose change I find around the house for a few weeks - for a pumpkin spice latte.  I was in LOVE with them last year, so a few weeks ago, when I knew they were back, I started drooling at the thought of one.  But, I can't bring myself to get one when it's still super humid and warm out, so I've been saving my pennies and waiting for a day that feels a bit more "fall"-like!  I had been carrying around a little plastic bag filled with change I've pulled out of the laundry, couch cushions and car, but I kept having to dip into it  - for parking a few weeks ago, for a tip at the commissary, for whatever - and a few days ago, I was sharing my woes with my dear husband.  He laughed at me, ha ha!  But then, yesterday, I came upstairs and went in our room and found something on my nightstand (yeah, I know that frame isn't filled yet...it was a sweet gift from a dear friend and I've been meaning to get a picture in it).  Do you see it!?  

 He keeps a jar to fill with his change and has always called it his fish fund, but he gifted the jar partially full of change to me, and it's now become my pumpkin spice latte fund :)  He definitely made me smile.  I can't wait to get the delicious drink soon...it'll be so worth the wait!!!

 Lately, I've been putting half a packet of dark chocolate cocoa mix into my coffee in the mornings (yeah, we like coffee around here, can you tell?!) and it's absolutely fantastic.  PLUS, it's a fairly cheap option (@ .99 a box of cocoa mix!) for adding a little something extra to my coffee!  Oh yeah, and everything is always more tasty in a festive pumpkin mug!
