So many neat dates this month. What with the ten and the twenty ten? Anyway. I am entirely habituated to working on my computer until 11:00 p.m., and it is so weird and exhilarating to be on the play computer at 8:30. Woot! Although yes, obviously, in my new found free time, I should be doing something that doesn't involve a computer. Agreed. Bye.

But wait, I have to write a post! So let's see. In September, I went to Portland for a girls' weekend that involved dancing (Club Fez!), art fairing, running, pupusa eating, karaoke singing (Whatta Man debut!), and napping. Maybe some whiskey sours. Also in September, Jim heard that he would be getting an interview at his contract place. Then, sometime in the beginning of October, he had the interview, and got the job. Yea!

Also in October, we went to Boise for a long weekend. While there, I ran my first half marathon. Woo! I have been training for a while. It was easy enough for about the first eight miles. After that, not so easy. 11 and 12, really not so good. But then it was over! The kids had a good time pal-ing around with my friend's little boys.

This week I am in the midst of what feels like fifty school-related things. Cookie dough sale fundraisers, "spirit wear" sale, signing up for Kindergarten teacher conferences, signing up for preschool teacher conferences, visiting the book fair, figuring out whether or not we actually returned "The Dinosaur that Lost Its Roar" to the library. Yikes.

But! There is a light at the end of the work tunnel, and I am so relieved. I can actually do housework, and daydream about the holidays, and watch old Futuramas with Jim. Ah, the life I left behind. So, maybe see you again sometime, you guys!
