35

Ok. I just haven't felt like posting. I'll do a quick over view of the past month, then upload some pics - finally took some.

Coldplay/DC
This was a great trip. Seeing these friends is always a re-charge to the soul. Coldplay Friday, Annapolis Sat, National Geographic HQ Sunday. Along with plenty of quality time with their little girl. Coldplay was a great show. Didn't realize it was the last if the entire tour. The drive there though...3 hours to go 20 some miles. We literally could have cycled there quicker. We actually drank about 20 beers between the 4 of us, and noone was buzzed...because it was consumed over such a freakin long time. 1 hour ride home was much better.

LOST
Thank god for this show. It's the only thing worth going out of our way to watch. It's also good for keeping my mind occupied. I'll be driving home, doing dishes, walking the dog, and my mind will wander to the plot line and different scenarios.

HOCKEY
It's not a tv show, it's better. The only bad thing about hockey being back this year is how hokey the Outdoor Network's sets/graphics are. Oh, and losing Rechi and LeClair to the Pens. Several big games against Pittsburhg in November we'll be going to.

DREAMS
Been having more techinicolor, multi-plot, hyer real dreams. Every morning I wake up from some crazy new adventure. Interesting, but not restful.

HERITAGE
Read alot of Indian/Eastern novels lately. Something I've come away with is feeling like I have a lack of heritage or tradition. Being from such a small family I guess. Makes me want to invent things that D and I will always do. Our own traditions. Which then leads to the sad thought that I would also like to have lots of kids to have these traditions with, and then the thought leads to I'm lucky we have such close friends who are like our family.

HAIR COLOR
Brunette again. Got rid of all the stupid blonde (actuall orange) highglights.

WORK
Really busy, which is good. But lately had more thoughts of wanting a change. Like to design for a travel company like MTS or something.

FALL
It's here. 51 degrees or colder lately in the evening. Smells like fallen leaves and bonfires in our neighborhood. Time for warm red wine, apple cider, I've baked two pumpkin pies already. We got 5 pumpkins from our patch this year. I want to grow a LOT more next year, including the white kind.

OGLEBAYFEST
Fall means O'fest. Its the festival our local huge resort does every fall. Highligh is the hige beer tent Saturday night. You see EVERYONE from town there that night. Drinking dark beer, a band, huge roaring fireplace, sweater weather, hats, scarves, and about every other year - a torential downpour. It rained all of Saturday into the night,but we still had a great time. This event is always a special thing for us cuz it's one of the first places we met for a date.

The IN-Laws
Came to visit over the weekend for O'fest. They leave tomorrow. It's actually been a really good visit. It's just rained so much and been cold, we didn't get to do very much.

35

That's how old I am today. Less than thrilled about this one. Only upside is I look much younger.This is the age you're supposed to at least have one kid by now. At this age all the medical complications begin for pregnancies. I want two so that's even more of a worry. Trying not to let it bother me, but I was really upset this morning. And then I got to work, and they had cake and a card for me. And the sales staff got me a gift certificate, and a friend got me a bracelet, and another girl got me a glass pumpkin. So today is turning out to be not-so-bad. Not because of the gifts, but just everyone being so sweet and kind. Tonight it's pizza, wine and Yahtzee with the parents to celebrate. Heavy emphasis on the wine part.
