Happy Halloween!

I like keeping a tally of the kids that come to my door.
The final count for this year: 233! Whew!
(I think a few of those must have been repeaters!)

Lunch with the girls today. Mmmmm... BBQ.

Ahhh... Fall. And the newly raked leaves for the day. And I know that this is only a hint of the leaves yet to come...

Sunday, Oct 28

It's still a work in progress, but you can already see a definite improvement. Check out the before pictures from Oct. 21.

Lazy Saturday. Oh, to be this comfortable!

Friday, Oct 26

On my way home today I noticed that the tree in my yard changes color before the other neighborhood trees. Which means that right now, my tree is the prettiest on the block!

Another late night... and I realize that I'm not sure where my life is going....

Yet another late night at work....

It turns out that Eric's cats enjoy helping him play WOW. I think Moxie is winking because she knows the secret to this quest and she's not telling!

Sunday, Oct 21

I'm finally starting some of the painting in my house that I need to do. Here are my before pictures. (FYI - I did NOT have any part in this original paint job!)

Another post where the significance may be lost... but today's post is all about the coming of (and the colors of) Fall.

Working late this week. Yuck.
(Yes, 6:47 is pretty late... for me.)

Saw this cool little mini-rainbow as I was leaving work today....

Monday, Oct 15

I realize that the significance of this post may be lost because it's not being published in a reasonable timeframe.... but it was significant to me at the time.

Oct. 15th... I noticed this day that as I was leaving work, it was dark enough outside that I could see my reflection in the window. It's a little depressing. Summer is over.

Sunday, Oct 14

A little more cooking.... and a FULL deep-freezer!!
I'd call that a successful cooking weekend!

Saturday, Oct 13

Random pictures from the first day of our cooking weekend...

Another beautiful sunset on my way somewhere...

Thursday, Oct 11

More preparations for the cooking weekend. Tonight it's just groceries, and lots of them!

Wednesday, Oct 10

This weekend is a cooking weekend... and this time I'm going to start preparing extra early. So tonight... the beans go in the crockpot.

Husband and Wife...

... playing sand volleyball together. :)

Monday, Oct 8

Time to sit down and write out our Thank You notes for our wedding gifts.

Even Tom wanted to be part of the action...

(Yes, that's a laptop he's laying on...)

Sunday, Oct 7

I finally bought a laptop today! :)

Nothing fancy... just something I can work on while watching TV. (It's NOT for WOW. Yet.)

Saturday, Oct 6

Garage Sale! We made around $200.

Not too bad....

Friday, Oct 5

I've been married for 3 weeks now. I guess it's about time to make my new name official!

I am officially Sandra Swearingen!

Thursday, Oct 4

On my way to volleyball tonight, I saw this beautiful sunset.

I love it when you can see the rays of the sun like that... :)

Wednesday, Oct 3

Today I discovered a leak in the pipes in the basement... just below the tub in the downstairs bathroom. The leak is right above an old pool table with purple felt... I guess that table is probably ruined. Ah... the joys of home ownership.

Tuesday, Oct 2

Wedding Gifts! Yay!! :)

I don't know where to put them yet...

Monday, Oct 1

Back to life. Back to reality.

Back to work. Ugh.
