Gorgeous Day

The heat is NOT on today! Have some windows open and enjoying a warm spell before winter comes and beats us up!

update:

the heat is now officially on!

brrrr

Like I said in my last post, "we" don't believe in turning on the heat until Thanksgiving... well, it's on, because it's roughly 40 degrees out and the thermostat stays at 60. It's cold. My fingers are kind of numb, but you know what? I'd much rather be bundled up, than sweaty.

But that's just me.

There's still time to register to vote for the election on November 2nd if you've somehow forgotten that there is one. The political ads are so nasty... I'm lucky I'm running in an uncontested race, and didn't have to campaign at all, although it would have been awesome to have my name on a lawn sign. Having my name on the ballot is cool enough!

What could someone possibly come up to say about me, that's negative? What, I spend all day sewing? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh burrrrrrrrrn.

P.S. That was a rhetorical question. If any of you dares answer the question, we're no longer friends! =]

October Musings...

My mother has a policy of not turning on the heat in the house until Thanksgiving. I'm not going to say we've ever made it that far... but... it's like 53 degrees in the house right now. I prefer sleeping in cold air, burrowed in a lot of blankets, but it makes for cold fingers and sleeping in way later than I should.

Especially since what I should be doing is a lot of sewing.

Things are going well in the Aidan's Attic/ Sweet Strap world- I started making guitar straps this week, and they look awesome. My ex-boyfriend still has my guitar that I bought for myself for my 22nd birthday... so I can't actually put one of my straps to use, but whatever!

Also- it's been raining for the last few days, really windy. Which is taking down my pretty autumn colors and ruining the beauty of the season for me. I'm not impressed! I need to get to the orchard and get some cider. None of the orchards around here make apple cider doughnuts though. That's just a crime.

Dinner

I added some marinated steak and zucchini sticks. And it was awesome.
