Rewind

Oh, hello.  Did you have a lovely Halloween? I dressed as myself and hid in the back room from 5-7pm, ignoring any stray knockings on the front door.  Living on the fringe of sketch, I figured our mini-villa had a 50/50 chance of seeing a cute Halloween costume (preferably a baby skunk, or maybe a witch) or getting robbed.

I mostly stray on the safe side.

Fall has fallen over Nashville. What I mean to say is that fall keeps falling…into the cold frame.

Flashback.

You missed a lot.  Why haven’t you been keeping up with my life? Oh, wait.

What You Missed Last Week

• Raced a race (13.1) on no training.  PRed and sub-2 houred it. (<—- This is shock, not brag) Now I have to ask myself –why I would ever train in the first place? Hmmm. To make it less painful.  Yeah, that works.
• One of my favorite friends came to visit! Three days and too much homemade pizza, wine, and classical guitar later, I sent the spirit of friendship on his way back to Carolinaland. Why can’t my friends live next door??? (You three know who you are.)  College was easy in that way.
• Work.
• Carved a pumpkin of Nebraska and Iowa, my home places.  Too cool for school. That’s why I’m working full-time.

Evidence of What You Missed Last Week:

Rolling dough with a wine bottle? Yeah…

So you might be thinking— yikes! Scary witch lady with tangled hair, holding pumpkin yuck. Well, nope, that’s just me. Not dressed up. Just normal.

Post-race. I think I am trying to be funny in this picture?

Family Photo. Ha.

More garden updates in the looming future.  I recently received a request to talk about  taking care of houseplants during the winter, so watch for that.

And…I’m going to leave you with some pumpkin seeds.

Best costume 2012?

I was hoping someone would dress up like this guy.

Be honest– how much candy did you eat this Halloween?
