I'm completely a loser when it comes to most holidays. :) Especially Halloween and New Years. This past weekend, I had a fantastic time with my parents, but I'm pretty sure I was in bed by 9:30pm! I can't remember what we did last New Years Eve, but I can guarantee it wasn't a party. Haha.
The weather here couldn't get better. It usually is foggy in the morning and in the evening, but every single day has been about 78 and perfectly clear. There is a slight breeze, occasionally, making the days and nights absolutely perfect. As much as I love cool, crisp weather, I feel so lucky to be here when it's like this.
I love to go wine tasting in the area, and fortunately, so do my parents. I've gone to a few new places since I've been here that are either new, or have new wines available. Some of them are very yummy, and even though I had a 50 lb suitcase coming here, I'm somehow going to make room to bring a bottle or two back. :)
At the moment, I'm reading and messing around on the computer outside in the sunshine, and watching my dog have running dreams while sleeping. She's getting pretty old now, and probably isn't going to be around much more than a few years, but she's still the highlight of my life. She has really bad arthritis in her back legs, and won't let anyone touch them (we have a mobile groomer come to the house once a month), but she eats better for me (haha) and has actually gained a bit of weight (which she needs) since I'm home. We go for walks during the day and snuggle on her bed at night. Occasionally she gets a wild hair up her butt and races around the house like when she was a puppy...and it's amusing to watch. She uses the treadmill as a springboard to launch herself off around the couch. I wish I could get a video of it!
Happy November everyone! Only 52 days until Christmas...how's the shopping coming?
