cuddling at mcmenamin's
cardwell hill cellars...family-owned and operated
a bit o' booze
jaz, nick, and andrea at tyee winery
fall colors do exist in the northwest...Why do I wait so long to post? Now I either have to leave nothing out or leave everything out. Grrr.
In the past few weeks, I have completed my first set of report cards, survived my first parent-teacher conferences, participated in Whatcom County's celebration of the CRC's 150 years, eaten out too many times, drank beer with my boss once, attended a play, and driven through torrential rain and wind in order to visit my dear Nick and Lari (oh, wait! That was just today!)
I think that's the short list.
I am counting down the days until Thanksgiving break. We are currently at 8. Not long. Yet I'm at the point where I'm again realizing that I need to live in the moment, because it's really all I have. Memories are good, but they can't take the place of the present. In our school office, we have a little sign that says, "Today is a gift...that is why it's called the present." And worrying about the future can't change it. I'm trying to enjoy the little moments that make up my days. It's a great idea, but tough to follow through on.
I will end with a list of the excellent movies I watched while cuddling with Nick and Lari this weekend:
1) The Ringer
2) Accepted
3) V for Vendetta
Watch them! They are stupendo!

Hurray for the Now!! I'd say enjoy it while you have it, but do you ever really lose it?
I'd also make a comment about reliving that movie experiance over Christmas break, but that'd be blog PDA, and thats silly.
Oh yeah, about that lamp . . . . We haven't ordered it yet because we had to make a last minute trip to Winnipeg, and then we couldn't afford the lamp. I'll talk to Scott and let you know when it's on its way.
thanks for the letter friend - i sent one right back! i hope you have a fantabulous time in cali!
