I'm still in awe

Yay for the Red Sox (and their fans - past and present)! Rock the fsck on! I'm very happy to be a Masswhole today I tell you!

Last night was magical. As I've mentioned I'm not a sports fan (though I love watching hockey). We spent the eve after a bit of homeworking and letting the bunnies play sitting on our front porch watching the moon (or - was it a space station?). Brian set up the tripod and snapped away http://diabolis.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=218 . I was curled up in my old patchwork quilt that I've had since I was a little girl (mom made it using patches from old curtains and clothes), and we sipped at warm cider watching the moon slowly get covered and turn a beautiful red color.

We never would have done that in Framingham. We tried to limit the time we spent outside since the neighborhood vibe was just icky. Sitting there last night served to remind me that I really am HOME. You could see neighbors out on their porches and other neighbors inside of their windows watching the game.

After stopping inside to check the score and see how the Sox were doing I headed up to bed. Its nice to wake up and think the weekend is almost here. Today should fly by, because I've got a lot of things to do to prep for tomorrow's PHO Management meeting (the last one with my boss, a sad occasion).

We'll be at goffee tonight - not sure if we're doing the burrito thing or not (I'd like to, hmm), but we'll be there. I'll bring some homework with me, a fascinating book on opposing liberal and conservative views on Welfare Policy and how both sides should work together to find true resolutions to problems.

Thank you!

I just got an e-mail from the American Cancer Society - Boston beat NYC in fundraising and participation in its walk!:

"Also, I wanted to let you know that Making Strides of Boston is once again tops in the country! Our 30,000 walkers helped raise $3 million! Making Strides of Central Park, first in online giving, was second overall, raising $2.1 million with 22,000 participants".

Thank you so much to all those that sponsored me! Next year I'm hoping to get a group of 501st people together to walk in costume (the shorter walk is only 3 miles, if we can do it at a Halloween Parade we can do it at a Charity Walk).

Man, I'm starving today!

I'm craving an Italian sub from D'Angelos. I also want to make a run to Target. Here's hoping I have time to do both!

I'm still kind of wide-eyed from last night's moon. Tonight's will actually be technically full. Whoot!

Whoot

Sub was purchased, my tummy is happy :)

Target items were purchased. I'm now the proud owner of the first season of That 70's Show. Yay yay yay! I can't wait to watch it :) The original price is $50, but Target has it for $35 (I know that Newbury Comics does too - its where I was originally planning on picking it up until I found it at Target).

My list cost me much less than I had expected (had some things I needed and also wanted to get a couple of Xmas presents) so I have money left over to play. I need a fall/spring dress coat (thinking grey, 3/4 length) - perhaps I'll stop at Burlington Coat Factory this weekend and see if I can find one.
