Fall is here. It arrived yesterday. For about 2-3 years running now, it’s been kind of a 2 season rotation…no fall or spring, just summer and winter. 3-4 days ago it was 92. Today it’s 56. Feels more like winter I guess really. Last night when I went to take out the trash and heard something I hadn’t heard in a few months…complete silence. all the bugs are about to go hibernate or die or whatever it is that bugs do when it gets too cold for them. It was kind of eerie…but I’ll get used to it.
It’s funny how the house shifts when it gets cold…we usually keep the air on during the summer…somewhere between 68-70 degrees. When winter is here we push it to like 72-75. It doesn’t make sense unless you’ve lived in an old house. The floor is FREEZING and the thermostat just doesn’t quite get that concept yet.
Speaking of houses…we went and looked at one a few days ago. It wasn’t “perfect”, but it was very, very nice. It’s kind of frustrating because I really didn’t want to like the house…i wanted the inside to be junky and require too much work…but it wasn’t bad…at all. With a little paint and some minor renovations it could be a great place. Of course there’s always the minor issue of money that comes into play. We’ll see what happens.
10 days until we head off to work. I’m a little excited but also a little hesitant…with each year that passes our roots grow deeper here in Ohio making it that much more difficult to leave. With that said, I know it will be good for us to get away, to have contact with “the world” and make some money.
Jen is still a knitting fool. She started the process last year at Radio City and now a year later I don’t think there’s anything that she can’t do. I’m curious to see how her talent is used during the run…maybe she’ll become the mentor to some prospective knitters? I’m still waiting on some socks, or a hat, or even a sweater. Seems like everyone else is in line before me. Oh well…I’m glad to see her find something she’s so passionate about.
well, that’s about it for this round…at the rate i”m going I’ll post again sometime in 2008. jk. maybe as life gets more interesting, so will this blog. stay tuned.
