So, I was looking at my blog and realized it's been almost a year since my last post. Yeah.

Some thoughts:
-Where is time going this year? I can't believe it's almost November. I haven't even gotten my fall decorations down from the attic this year and for some reason, I'm not all that excited about doing so, which is odd considering this is my favorite season/time of the year. I realized yesterday that if I'm going to follow through with all of my plans to make most of my gifts for Christmas, I'd better get on it and fast. This time of year also brings the anxiety of not knowing if I'll get the days off around the holidays that I want. I don't usually know my work schedule for the next week until the Friday before, so it's extremely difficult to plan family events.

-I love Adobe Illustrator. It's mucho fun to play with.

-TV shows I dig watching right now: Chuck, The office ("Host the Dundees!"), Pushing Dasies, Reaper, Dirty Sexy Money and Buffy reruns.

-Favorite song to listen to while I work lately: Happiness is a warm gun

-Pants and I recently went to L.A. and Santa Barbara with friends. A good time was had by all. We spent 16 hours at Disneyland (in one day) and are all still speaking to one another. My only disappointment (and it's super minor) was that we didn't really see many celebrities. We did see (or walk by) Kevin McDonald, Rick Schroder and that kid from Freaks and Geeks. We just missed Bill Mahr at the Hollywood Hell House, which was incredibly funny. At the afterparty for that, we were talking to a guy who we later found out has won Emmys for the writing he's done for Arrested Development. When I told him my name, he likened it to a kind of pie. The weather was amazing and we drank more wine than when we went to Napa earlier this year. I guess I always assumed I'd visit California, it was just surprising to get to visit it twice in one year. Also, we sighted an old lady walking around Will Rogers World airport making birdcalls.

-I recently cut about 7 inches off the length of my hair. I love it! The only bad thing is that now that it's shorter I have to have it cut more often to keep it the same length. That's not awful, though. I really like my hairstylist. The last time I was there he kept calling his mom Trixie. I think her name was Nancy, she was standing right there laughing at him. I thought it was so neat that they have such a good relationship.

Have I given you enough, you greedy blog monster? Well, it will have to do for now because the dogs need to go outside.

ciao!
