<p>Morning all!!  Today is the first day of my hell week and of couse I've been up since 310 with sinus trouble.  Thank God for Claritan.  I'm hoping for a very uneventful week at work and a very Eventful week at the Dairy Expo.  Today's trip over is going to be interesting because Obama is speaking on Campus and his route is the same as mine. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> what's your favorite part of fall? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>mine's hiking thru all of the fallen leaves.  And Carmel Apple Spice drinks from Starbux</p>

<p>QOD - can not pick one thing.  It is my favorite time of year.  Cooler temps.  Beautiful foliage.  The smell of fallen leaves.  Pumpkin beers.  My birthday. My anniversary.  Hockey season starts.</p>

yes!  Everything about this post.  I've never had a pumpkin beer and I am suddenly jonesing for one in the worst way!<br><br>
 </p>
<p><strong>Beaker</strong> - yay for A sleeping in the big boy bed!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I still have not come down with a full fledged cold.  It's just on the fringes, which is just annoying - either hit me or go away. <sigh>  I'm still trying to beat it. More rest more better.  Early bedtimes all week. </p>

<p><strong>Happy Birthday Ailarie!!!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD: the weather, the smells, the leaves, our anniversary, Halloween, apples, soup, big sweaters.... it's my favorite time of year. October is my favorite month. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""></p>

<p>Happy birthday, <strong>Ailarie!</strong>  I hope you have a lovely day!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not as much fun as I'd like around here these days.  I was off sick yesterday.  Stupid cold. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And my mom's purse was stolen on the weekend.  She'd just gotten back from her trip to NH and was unpacking some stuff at my sister's place.  While she was doing that, someone took the purse right out of her truck.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  Then proceeded to rack up hundreds of dollars worth of purchases with her credit card.  They also got all the cash that was in there.  And mom's passport.  And various other personal items, like wedding pics and pics of us kids.  Mom just got that purse as a birthday gift, too.  She's heartbroken about the whole thing.  A bit of good news, though.  My sisters were able to find out who took it and they're hot on the trail.  I hope they can get the personal items back, at least.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and my father in law had to go to the ER the other night because we thought he was having a heart attack or something.  Luckily it was only vertigo but it was still a scare.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My least favourite part of fall...closing the pool.  We did that on the weekend.  *sigh*  Can't really think of anything good at this point.  I'm a summer girl.  Not a big fan of the cold weather.</p>

<p>I'm cooking bacon and Jack is drooling. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Priming door and window trim today. wooopee. Ok, so I know you normally figure out how much paint you need by figuring the area of your walls, but my walls are mostly doors or cupboards. I guess I could measure each little bit, but.... isn't there an easier way?</p>

<p>morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>off night of sleep last night, fell asleep, then woke up to a phone call (expected).  When I got off the phone, my eyes were itchy, the dog was spooning me <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif" title=""> and the cat was on the other side and I was too warm but couldn't shove off the covers, and I was just AWAKE.  Not for too long, but long enough.  Meh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I read for a few minutes and was able to go to sleep around 1...and did NOT want to get up this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY AILARIE!!!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tonight is the Boston Chapter of my professional association's 100th anniversary party.  Should be fun.  Plus...I have to leave work a little early to get there on time. <img alt=":)" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif" title=":)"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD: fall's not my favorite season either, like Clare.  Cooler sleeping weather, and making stews and chili, and transitioning into warmer clothes are ok with me.</p>
 
#16 ·
<p>Thanks for the wishes, folks.  Between here and Facebook, I am certainly feeling the love today.  Muchas Gracias1</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Kath</strong> - poor Jackjack!  I know you said that your dogs don't get people food, but that's GOTTA be a heavenly smell for Jack since his nose is so much more sensitive than a human nose!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Beakerbabe</strong> - So glad that attempt 2 at the big-boy bed went over well! </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Clarebear</strong>:  Bummer about mom's purse being stolen!.  Hopefully you guys can get some of the stuff back since you know who took it in the first place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BigG: </strong> Is it wrong that I snorted about your coffee snort?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QoD;</strong>  Cooler temps and finally a break from Georgia's horrid summer of humidity.  The temps always break right around my birthday.  This year, the break is ON my birthday, which was a nice bonus.  Today was the first time this season that I had to wear a sweater when going outside. <img alt=":)" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif" title=":)">  </p>

<p>Holy busy Batman!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Birthday <strong>Ailarie</strong>!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> - Fall is my favorite season!  I always think of it as my new year, being on an academic schedule.  I love taking walks with the dogs and DH at night and shuffling through the leaves - crunch, crunch, crunch.  And smelling the wood stoves.  Watching football - NFL, local college, HS and DS's team.  DD horseback riding among the gorgeous foliage - I wished I had my camera yesterday!  Closing camp - although it is the most beautiful time of year up there, we aren't able to enjoy it much with no winterizing.  But I am thinking of making chili up there next weekend and watching FB.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yay for new homes, big boy beds and tights with peep toes!  (a big no for strappy open toes with tights or nylons - I just can't do it)</p>

<p>I am researching someone today who is "His Excellency Dr. Something Something Foreign".  Interesting.</p>
 
#19 ·
<p>I am researching what to get my brother for his birthday, without really giving him anything -- we don't really do gifts anymore... </p>
 
#20 ·
<p>Fall:  I love late September and October, the weather here is gorgeous as are the leaves.  Once everything is all brown and it gets colder and more winter-like, it loses its appeal.  I am happy that the cooler temps are here, this summer was just awful in terms of heat and humidity.  I love college football, apple cider, homemade soups, and the energy on campus.</p>

<p>QOD:  Crispy Air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Me lovvy the fall.  Even the rain in the fall. Oh!  and the food changes from salad to stew and chili.  Happy is me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not Fun:  Half of my project is being launched this week and one of two programmers for the other half of my project quit to deal with major family issues.  Both parts are interdependent on the other.  This part more so than that part.  Ugh.  Ok.  Basically, half the project is about inputing data to show ship positions on a digital mapping system.  The mapping system is being deployed this week by the contractors, but we have no data to populate the darn thing.  The really not fun part: Because of this loss of a resource, the project won't finish until end of January instead of November. </p>

<p>We're hosting College Game Day and Radio Game Day for the 4th time since I've worked here on Saturday.  We're getting pretty good at it so it takes a lot less effort and coordination now.  <img alt=":)" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif" title=":)">  Maybe I will try to get my cast signed by the talent... </p>
