it's beginning to feel a lot like fall...

finally

the windows are open and the fans are on and there is not a ton of humidity. its actually bearable. now is summer were like this!!!

and if you walk into your local starbucks it looks like christmas. thats right folks i helped out with the dark set for holiday roll out tonight and i've never opened so many cardboard boxes in my entire life. holy cow. the worst of it. out landlord won't provide recycling friendly containers on the property. so it all went into the dumpster!!! sigh. but there are so many cute things it's enough to make you crazy. fortunately i don't think i want any of the mugs this year. which is good. we loaded up on clearance halloween and the cupboards are jammed ;)

and i know i've been lax, but i promise i have wonderful things to show you. both things sent and received. for the hogwarts swap. but my camera is on the fritz again. i'm gonna get new batteries tomorrow and see if it works. otherwise i'll be smuggling dave's away to do a knitting photo shoot :)

and i have socky and hatty updates to post too. but again the camera. sigh. don't you hate technology!

I had that problem in Utah - my landlady didn't believe in recycling, or something like that. Ridiculous!

I can't believe Waterford doesn't have recycle dumpsters. Man, they need to get with it!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
