Fall 2010 Mittens/Gloves
Closed Published by Alison October 30th, 2010 in clotheshorse, life, photos, shopping.The weather’s been threatening to turn for the last several weeks, but even so, I’ve learned — finally and after four years — that you buy wardrobe staples like gloves, long-sleeve shirts and winter bedroom slippers when you first see them in the stores. Otherwise, by the time you need them, they won’t be there. [...]
The Weekend Agenda
Closed Published by Alison October 29th, 2010 in books & reading, life, manga, music, photos.As I mentioned a few posts back, the anniversary of my “start date” at work passed earlier this month, so I’m in a use-them-before-you-lose-them mode with regard to my vacation days. Today kicks off a four-day weekend for me. We know what I’ll be listening to and reading. Yay~! ♥
By the Light of the Silvery Moon
Closed Published by Alison October 26th, 2010 in life, manga, movies, photos, tv.Fall is just speeding by. Because next month will mark the end of daylight saving time — and the beginning of me only seeing daylight for about 20 minutes per day during my morning drive — I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the sky. One night last week, the moon looked particularly shiny. [...]
Anniversaries and Homecomings
Closed Published by Alison October 16th, 2010 in events, life, photos, shopping, toys.It occurred to me on Friday morning that last Thursday was the four-year anniversary of the day I left Florida for my current gig in the Midwest. I haven’t been back for a visit since then, and I should do something about that, but it’s not likely to happen any time soon. Monday marks my [...]
Not-a-Real-Entry Thursday
Closed Published by Alison October 14th, 2010 in kitty-mon, life, photos, toys.In many ways, this photo sums up yesterday. So which subject represents me: Kitty-mon? Or the Domo Devil? I’ll leave that up to your imagination. ★
Remember, last week, when I said that the leaves on the tree probably wouldn’t last long? Well, all of them — minus a handful up at the very tip top — unceremoniously dropped on my front lawn yesterday and this morning. Glad it’s not my job to clean them up! XD
There are only a few weeks left of daylight saving time, so I took advantage of the late afternoon sun when I got home from work. You see, there was fall foliage today, but if I had waited until tomorrow to take this photo, the leaves would have been on my lawn in the morning. [...]
Let’s tackle the “yuck” part of this post straight away. I spent most of this week being varying degrees of sick, so I tried to take it easy this weekend. I also love my Gators, but let’s NOT talk about last night’s game. Blah. Instead, I’d rather focus on something good. It’s October, which means [...]
