So, we've been slackers. We haven't carved pumpkins since, oh, 2004. But that's ok. We did today, well, Steve and the kids did. And they are spectacular.
Currently loving Noise Trade. I've downloaded at least 10 albums or partial albums in the past couple of days. My current favorite is an acoustic album from Katie Herzig. It's an acoustic album of some of her stuff. I'd never heard of her before I downloaded this last week, but I'm hooked. Best thing about Noise Trade, you can either recommend the album to 5 friends or donate whatever you want. I love sharing music, so I've been inundating all my friends with suggestions lately. Well, my friends that I know love music like I do.
Perhaps if I updated more frequently, I wouldn't feel the need to write a "Reader's Digest Condensed Version" type blog post every week or two. Speaking of Reader's Digest Condensed Books, my mom had a bunch of those things. I probably ought to see if they condensed War and Peace. I still haven't conquered it. But I have read the first chapter twice.
He just bought tickets to go see Ingrid Michaelson on Friday and we're letting Tori skip her volleyball game to go! And he also bought tickets to see Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken at Jammin' Java on the 26th. We are going to take Alex and Tori to that one. I'm so excited!!!!!! All I had to do was bat my eyelashes at him. I'm going to start using that one more often!
Seriously, mango avalanches in the Safeway produce department (My fault, not theirs, they slowly walked away like they didn't know me!), discovering falafel at Costco (I think I just about gave them a heartache the way I reacted when I saw it), discussing whether the side effects of Alli are worth it (Tori, Soph and I say no way!) and going to Target 3 different times because I forgot something and I had a coupon (Let's go again, I have a checkout coupon for Heinz 57!). That's what you miss when you decide to stay home and not come grocery shopping with me.
Lots of swimming, a nice walk with Ash and Soph, a big pot of goulash topped with parmesiano reggiano cheese, homemade chocolate sorbet, and an awesome halloween costume idea. I would tell you all, but then you might steal it. Heh.
