Wow, it's been a month since I posted? I didn't think it's been that long! But with returning from vacation and being swamped at work (I feel like I've been sprinting for a month), the fun New Hope fundraiser, and the election, I'm just now breathing again.
Right now I'm backing up my almost-full Mac to a backup hard drive, watching college football and waiting for the Cal/Stanford game, and enjoying the great SoCal imitation weather-wise that Oakland is pulling off. Yey sun, yey warmth!
Mitch and Nora are still awesomely adorable. Nora is heating herself on the windowsill while Mitch is cleaning his fur while curled between polar bear, my red curtain, and the warm cream flannel blanket.
Things that are in heaven: Ben & Jerry's ice cream, football, cats specifically Mitch, Nora, Frisky, Pancakes, and Waffles, peppermint, and gingerbread houses. That's what I know for sure, there may be more things. Your thoughts?
I decorated my little place with Christmas lights, Christmas musical snowglobe, and my tree skirt folded into a runner/cover. I feel excited about the holidays this year. And my favorite flavor of all time is peppermint which comes out from spring and summer hiding to re-debut in winter. Bring it on, peppermint! Come on out and play. And I love gingerbread houses - light up ones, snowglobe ones, make-it-yourself ones. Anyone want to make one with me?
Enjoy Thanksgiving everyone and have a wonderful time being grateful for your life, friends, and family :)

Pet peeves
1. Pedestrians who just walk across the street without looking. If they could just pause and wait for the natural flow of traffic to ebb by vs. making cars brake and stop all the cars behind them.
2. OMG, people who do not know to put the period before the quotation marks. It should be:
"I didn't want to walk the dog this morning."
NOT
"I didn't want to walk the dog this morning".
Does that even look right?
3. Commercials that are louder than the TV show.
That's all for now.
On a positive note, I spoke at church for the first time this morning. I spoke on money and finances - feel that it went well and am proud of myself. I like speaking and teaching - maybe I should do more?

Does anyone use Twitter? Isn't it just like Gmail chat lines but updated like 20 times a day?
It kinda seems interesting but then I remember that I can't even blog more than once a week!
OMG, Mad Med is one of my fave shows and in the movie Love Actually, one of the dumb American blond bimbos the English guy meets and sleeps right away is the actress January Jones, the wife of the lead on Mad Men. Weird!

Staying up too late
What am I doing? Go to sleep, Orangecat.
I've been on a Facebook binge these past few days, adding like 15 people. I found both my brothers, one with a fake name who hasn't accepted me as his friend. Yep, that is so him, ha ha. Should I be offended my other brother hadn't added me? Facebook has such a surreal effect on me - I get happy seeing some people's wedding pics and new babies. But then also I get down looking at others' wonderful, travel-y lives. So I have to limit myself. Then today, one of my elementary best friends/frenemies but who moved away in junior high, contacted me (how did she find me?? i don't live in SD anymore) and wanted to add me as a friend. weird!! what do I do? I'm trying to figure out how to add ppl but only show them a limited profile. Yet I can't even find out on the site where the friend requests are... ah, Facebook, you are a good distraction during this Palin/economy crash craziness...
I'm watching Love Actually. I haven't seen it in so long, it's good :)

Sabotage
Does it sometimes seem like someone on McCain's team is actually trying to sabotage him?
I mean, did someone actually think this trick this week would work? It feels so ridiculous, I stop and think, "No, it can't quite be real... maybe there is a traitor on the Republican team." Maybe, right? I mean, who says there isn't? Wouldn't that be crazy if there were such things as political Donnie Brasco's who sneak in, gain the confidence of the other side, hide recording devices in their boots during dinner at Japanese restaurants, and then betray them.
Could it be possible?

Economy and New England
This economy craziness... what to say? The only time I'm glad I'm not rich with lots of money in stocks and 401K. Whoo hoo, I'm low on money!
I'm typing on my Mac and using Mitch as an elbow rest. Ah, Mitchie.
My brother and sis-in-law got two cats. They named them Pancakes and Waffles bc that's Lesley's favorite food: breakfast food. If they got a third cat, it'd be named French Toast. Hee hee but for reals. Yey, more cats!
I'm getting excited about the New England road trip. I leave two weeks from yesterday. We have a rental car, places to stay, and some maps. That's kinda it. Sounds like a nice, relaxing, wandering trip. We have plans to 1) visit Ben & Jerry's HQ, 2) drive around and see beautiful fall leaves, and 3) eat lobster in Maine. I love not having many plans. I intentionally didn't buy the Lonely Planet book bc I wanted to wing it. But yes, me winging it, still involves lots of web research and getting free maps from www.visitnh.gov and other similar sites :) I feel like I'm going to fall in love with New England and want to move there. It just looks so beautiful.
Bye, furry armrest. You were good to me.
Is it just me or does Twitter not sound that interesting? Isn't there such a thing as info/communications/friend overload? I can't handle Facebook more than one day every couple of weeks.
