Must of been love (could've been fate…)

Here comes fall. Here goes nothing. Here comes nights darkened by five, evenings of tea, book club, crafts, laughter, love. Here comes yoga, brisk walks home, smiles at work, a season full of hope. Here comes soccer, children running, trying to keep warm, here in this 55 degree weather, these cali-babies can’t handle it. Here comes squash, Thanksgiving, truly being thankful for this LA family and LA life. Here comes pumpkin carving, a new tradition. Here comes face paint. Here goes nothing. Here comes you, and me, spending time there, and here, and all over. Here comes new restaurants in LA. Here comes date nights. Here comes wool socks. Here comes try number three, turkey number three. Here comes another tree. A second Christmas at our first apartment. Here’s to our home. Here comes Camp Waterloo, Christmas cookies, New Year’s with my sister and her fiance and those Chicago friends I’ve missed.

Here goes nothing. 2010, I know we’re not through, just yet…



Happy Halloween Season!

Saturday event at work, running to soccer to coach a game in pearls, getting costume advice from a seven year old, home to go to Target, getting a new calendar board for the hallway, going to Office Depot for a new board for the kitchen with picture frames (one of you and me, SS), going to Staples to get myself a portfolio, home for lunch, talking to my brother for 30 minutes about algebra 2 and life, working on the website with Jeff, a brand new spice rack from Jeff (and the Home Depot) that we put up Saturday night, and bed early.

Sunday farmer’s market, home, breakfast of omelet with heirloom tomatoes and onion, polyurethane on our dining room table, grocery shopping (trader joe’s and ralph’s), home for another coat on the table (but not before sanding), pot roast in the crock pot, laundry at the laundromat, home to a finished pot roast, another coat of polyurethane (sanding, too), a second trip to Ralphs for pumpkins, dinner of pot roast, and then carved four pumpkins. Corelyn’s is looking up, mine looks down. They are friends.

Pictures to come.

Five good things:

1. Carved pumpkins
2. Heirloom tomatoes
3. Finished dining room table, FINALLY
4. A new calendar, and new spice rack for my new spiffy house
5. Updated blogs.
