Where did September go?

I know it's been 30 days, but it seems to have passed by in 30 minutes.

Despite the fact that nothing of note happened this month, I would just like to know if my life is going to be passing me by just as quickly every month from here on out or if this was just a fluke.

It's got to mean something that the biggest event for me this month was the one-night-only showing of the remastered, high-definition version of "The Wizard of Oz" in theaters nationwide.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that this classic is not exactly at the top of my must-see movie list. In fact, it so frightened me as a child that I don't think I ever saw it all the way through. Sure, I watched bits of it when it used to be on TV once a year, but I never sought it out or bought the DVD so I could spend some time with it on a rainy weekend.

And that's why I completely surprised myself when I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. At 70, it looks better than ever. And the flying monkeys aren't even scary. I am so glad I decided to give this film a chance in the forum it deserves. (Although I was surprised at the aspect ratio, which was less widescreen and more old-fashioned TV screen.)

Speaking of the TV screen, this month also saw the official launch of "Glee," my favorite new show of the fall season. It's about the glee club at McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio, and I can't rave enough about it. Of course, there are plenty of musical numbers, so what's not to love! And, aside from having a fabulous regular cast, the guest stars are phenomenal. Tonight, it's Kristin Chenoweth's turn to shine as April Rhoades, a former classmate of glee club adviser Will Shuester, played by Matthew Morrison.

The show actually previewed in May, and I spent nearly four months obsessing over the show, eventually buying the director's cut of the pilot on DVD for $5 at Wal-Mart so I could get a free T-shirt (which arrived in less than four weeks in a size that actually fits me).

Other shows I've picked up this season are "Community," "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town." (Yes, I know the last one has an awful name, but I want to support the folks who gave me all those fabulous seasons of "Scrubs." Plus, it has a fantastic cast.)

So, that was basically my September. I can tell you right now that October is going to start of in a very exciting way, as my cousin will be headed to the hospital tomorrow morning to deliver her second child by planned C-section. I can't wait to meet the newest member of our family!
