October snuck up on me

It just occurred to me that today begins the month of October. And October for us is going to be a very exciting and busy month. Let the festivities begin!

Our weekend was hectic but good. My Saturday began at 4 a.m. with a work-related event; by noon I was home and ready for the next part of my day: a visit with Cynical's family, a trip to the recycling center and a marathon visit to the stylist. That evening, sans any sign of gray hair, I crashed during episodes of "Big Love".

On Sunday we got up and moved at a leisurely pace, eventually driving in the beautiful fall sun to Cynical's family homestead. After an extended visit, we drove back home, stopping at a local farm to pick up a few pumpkins.

Last night I got out for a quick walk and managed to get our house "in order" in time for some season premieres.

I have a full week ahead of me at work, balanced by some relaxing evenings at home. Let's hope I am able to maintain that balance.

A poorly taken photograph of the market bag I finished in time for our vacation in less than two weeks.

I love this bag. I have a pattern for something similar and I hope to have time to make it for myself some day.
