Fall is bittersweet for me. Light is lovely, it is open window weather, I can get back to my walks around the lake (when I find the time,) but it heralds winter, which I emphatically do not like. Especially after last year. I adore summer, as hot and insane as this one was. I prefer it to the dark and cold, hands down.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Because books.
Yay, Kat! I think someone mentioned it earlier, but whoo hoo on getting books!

Me, too. But my perspective on winter (aside from the dark thing) changed after living so far north. I sort of expect this winter to be a non-event for us, even if it's as bad as last year (which I doubt). I am grateful we have off-street parking, though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Yay Kat! It took me a few to figure out why I couldn't vote earlier today

Target. It's still money, but you can get something cute for under $20.
I always hope to, but my top half presents even more an issue now that I'm this size. Dresses are a bitch. But I'll try.
I really need some new clothes for work more urgently (stuff is wearing out,) but it isn't budgeted right now. I just realized I'm wearing some tops that are over a decade old. They're from my last skinnier phase, though I'm even thinner now. Somehow, I didn't get rid of them in the past few purges as they were favorites, and I am glad of it now. Thank god my work style is basic and classic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy birthday, Perkins!
Happy birthday to the Phoenix! I've been hanging around here for a little less than 8 years.
Hey, I went to vote for Kat's project, and it says it's funded!
Hooray!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Woot for Kat's class and books! If we had a Sonic in town, I'd go out and buy a shake to celebrate.

We (and some other people) totally rock!
You people certainly do rock! Thank you so much for all of your voting and for your tolerating my electioneering. I'm going to continue to vote for other projects in my area, but now I can stop FREAKING OUT over the fact that this book which I planned on teaching in November wasn't coming.
Sigh. It was a surprising end to a long week.
ita, is the bearded guy in this video: [link] doing yoga or capoeira? Also, around 2 minutes 35 seconds a guy goes from handstand to updog and back to handstand. It's AMAZING

I DO feel compelled to go do something for sonic. I'm going to write one more grant for books for a US Cellular challenge. I have had four grants funded since June. . . people are amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I always hope to, but my top half presents even more an issue now that I'm this size. Dresses are a bitch. But I'll try.
You have jeans, right? Just get a cute top! And by cute, I mean slutty.
