This, that and the other.

1. What a wonderful day spent with her and her yesterday. It is amazing how quickly an entire day can slip away when you're in good company.
2. I ate more yesterday than I think I had in the week prior. Hmm....Chai tea latte, hot chocolate, grilled ham and Swiss, DELISH crispy pad thai, a glass of wine and some chocolate that suddenly vanished when it was sitting next to me. (It's okay, we were together ALL day). I'm not going near the scale for a while though.
   
3. It gives me the heebie-jeebies to see how long some people can hang at a Starbucks. Can you believe it...morning and then again at night? Wait, I suppose we had to be there too to notice this phenomenon ;0)
4. Go-etta and a big fork can make so many things all better!
5. I am convinced there really WILL be a little boy joining our ranks in the coming year. No hard evidence. I just feel that way and could be entirely wrong. I'm not saying it will be me who has a son (as a single I honestly doubt it) but I just feel a boy coming on near-by and that's exciting too.
6. I looked at the beautiful faces of both J & T at the dinner table last night and it really hit me. NOT much longer and I will be a mama....can someone let this crazy flapping bird out of my chest!?! I'd be honored beyond words to get a sweetheart of a kid like either one of them.
   
7. Next time our small group gets together officially, I should have my referral in hand. (Yeah, I said 'thppppt' and stuck my fingers in my ears while humming "la, la, la, la" when I saw the RQ projection that tosses me into early 2009 for referral).
8. I see some tender hearts voted in the November cut-off poll for my LID. Thanks for trying to boost my spirits but, I do believe, I would drop over if that happened. I am mentally prepared for December and, at worst, January.
9. Does anyone have experience with the Flip that they wish to share? I drool over beautiful photos and wonderful cameras but I'm a 'regular' gal there and need something simple that adequately does the job. I am not going to become Ansellete Adams. I accept it. I'm leaning towards one of these Flip video gigs. If you know about them firsthand let me know what you think.
10. Pat Benatar rocks...truly. Gotta love her. (Sorry, that just popped in my head.)
    
11. Gap Kids had something that screamed at me from across the store. I had to have it. Yep, living dangerously because I have no clue who is about to come into my life but I just had to have it. If it won't work for us, it will make a lovely gift.
    
12. I LOVE fall....most of all.
13. Because we had some critical discussion yesterday, I am placing a new ladies-only poll in the sidebar. We need answers! Please vote today (and do the LID cutoff vote if you haven't ventured over there).
14. As a bit of house-keeping with the new blog let me note that I do not accept anon comments of any kind. I am changing the settings because I would allow it with the expectation that most people DID identify themselves in the post. I can't say I have received any bad comments but, regardless, if someone cannot own what they say then it is not being posted. And, (my blog, my discretion) if you put something idiotic and DO identify yourself it's not getting posted either. A properly stated alternative view is always welcome....snideness is not. (Unless, of course, it's funny ;0)
15. Off to find some Asian pears. I have a tart to make after I mow the lawn. Ewww....the lawn is scary but I can't pass it off as Halloween decor.
16. Hope your day is a beautiful one!
