This Week

Bedding

OCTOBER.  How is it already October?

More importantly, when is it going to feel like fall?  I have jackets and boots that need to be worn.

Weather woes aside, fall has been good to me.  My energy levels are back up, we have some great weekend getaways planned, and spiced apple cider is readily available.

What else could a woman need, besides the weather to be slightly colder?

After countless over scheduled weeks interspersed with the occasional hermit one, I’ve finally found the what makes a good week.  A few events (breakfast with Megan and Katherine, an event at the AMNH) and filled with plenty of quiet work time.  This weekend, we’re headed down to Virginia for a stay at the Tides Inn – aka our “babymoon.”

And colonial Williamsburg.  I’m VERY excited about Williamsburg.  I know, I’m a nerd.
