Day 217/365

Since my stupid knee injury has stopped me from working out like I'd like to, I've been walking to work. Oddly, walking doesn't hurt it. On my way this morning, I spotted this cool viney thing. Took some pics on the way home. After I took them, I realized the home owner was standing on the other side of the fence. He/she must've wondered what I was doing!

Day 216/365

Had a beautiful day today. Felt like summer again. Not the soup weather you'd expect but that didn't stop Steve. Here are his beans, pre-soup.

Day 215/365

Had to work on Peds today. Had a really uneasy feeling about the shift. And I was dead on. What a crappy, crazy time. So busy, I just couldn't believe it. Made me grateful that it isn't my full time job anymore. But we started the day at the Farmer's Market since I didn't have to go in until 1. Here are some very pretty carrots that caught me eye.



Then, after work, I tried to salvage what was left of my day. Got cleaned up and we headed out to Bushwaller's for their grand re-opening party. It was crowded and I was literally too tired to stand there, so we headed up Market St. Every place was packed since it was first Saturday, so we headed to Danielle's for the Swag Party. Proceeds went to Cakes for Cause, so even though I was tired, we went. It was fun. We both got there in time to get Swag Bags. And then we ran into Jeff and Amanda and got to hang out with them. Then it got insanely crowded with a really young crowd, so we headed out. Decided to swing by Guido's because they had a blues band Steve wanted to see. Had a great time. Ended up closing the place down, which is RARE for us. But there was a strung out drunk girl who I could just tell was a train wreck waiting to happen, so we stuck around to watch.

Here is a pic of Shab Row, fully decked out in Christmas Lights. Apparently, they don't think Thanksgiving deserves it's own spotlight.

Day 214

Had the day off. Woke up and took the pups for a nice walk. Saw city workers putting up the Christmas lights on Market St. Made me happy, even though it is too early. I know they have to start putting them up early. And at least they aren't turned on yet.


Then, walked myself downtown in the afternoon. Was walking home and I saw Team Fun walking ahead of me. I'm not a yell out kinda gal, and I figured I'd catch up to them sooner or later. And I did, when they turned into Bushwaller's. I was so happy to see them. And even though all I could do was drink water (stupid diet), it was a fun time.

Day 213/365

Day 212/365

Someone left a beautiful scarf at my house at Co-Ed Pumpkin Carving Craft Night last week. Even after many emails, no one has claimed it. Perhaps I have a new scarf?

Day 211/365

Election Day! I had such high hopes...
