October is my favorite month of the year - I love fall and I love the swings in temperature - warm days and cool nights, beautiful colors, and selfishly, my own birthday (although this gets less and less exciting). This year, however, was an especially interesting October for me especially as I hit that milestone, 40. Its a weird number really - big but not so big, old but in a weird way old. Your past the point of adjusting to things 10 years ago feeling so close and yet you begin to realize that you may have more past than future. Its that number that definitely sounded big at 10 and boring at 20. You know, old. And if you are anything like me, you anticipate and think a lot, and muse and worry, and then by the time you hit it, its not that big of a deal. So what better way to bring in the next decade than with a party. With chili. Except that its October, so it might be 80 degrees. Oh well - a very fun party and a nice way to ring in the old anyway.
