I say that in quotey marks since autumn arrives differently in different places. I LOVE autumn. I am so glad it has arrived. Usually I fast over the Equinox, but since I'm breastfeeding that's not an option. I'm not doing anything to mark it this year, other than verbally acknowledging it. Maybe I'll light the candles on my altar.

Last night I watched Jesus is Magic, Sarah Silverman's stand up "movie." She is HAWT, but she's not funny.

I am getting a bit of waist back! YES!! I'm starting to get a bit more shape. Thank god. And my stomach is noticably flatter. I may not be 112lbs this winter, like I was 5 years ago when I last went to Australia. Then again, I don't want to go to the gym everyday and eat mediocre graduate dorm food to get that way, like I did it last time.

What did I do after I noticed my waist in the bathroom mirror at work? I ate brownies. I swear they were laced with crack.

Australia tickets have been booked! I did it this morning before work. Holy crap, three adults, two kids and an infant round trip from San Francisco to Sydney is about $11,000. But, I'm going to Australia for a month! I am so so excited to share this part of my life with Adam. I'm also a little nervous since my parents can be cold and alienating and other members of family are evangelical space-cadets. Still. It's going to be great.

We'll be gone from Dec. 28 through Jan. 25. If you want to house sit while we're away our cats would be most grateful. Seriously. Contact me. A free place to stay in the Bay Area, right near BART. It would be a win-win for all involved. As long as you don't lose my keys, break certain items or kill the cats.

I have a magnum (half-magnum?) of shiraz-cabernet open on my counter top. Leftovers from an event I put on at work yesterday evening. No one drank any of it. Come over and I will gladly share it with you. I also have some blueberry pie from Whole Foods left over from Feri Pie on Saturday. I was skeptical of the pie, since the only pie I really like is blueberry pie and I grew up in blueberry country. But damn. Whole Foods makes a fabulous blueberry pie. I will share some of that with you too.

Wow, I really need new icons. And better baby clothes. And maybe some for me. I realized today that Bennett's diapers are nicer than much of my own clothing. And cloth diapers? Also laced with crack.

Wrapping it all up.... may you all find balance on this Equinox, in body, mind and spirit!

LOL! This is sort of all over the place.
I need some new clothes, too. My kids clothes are somewhat hideous, but they were given to us, so whatever. I'm not above free stuff (for my kids, that is, lol, THEY don't care what they're wearing!)

What did I do for the equinox? Work on a knitting project. Knitting and fall go together so well!

All of our baby clothes are either second hand or gifts - all given to us. Many items are great! Some are fine. And some... well, you know. They're cheesy and I'm sick of looking at them.

Desi has been given everything, same with Nora, all hand me downs, save for the few vintage finds from goodwill, and the awesome pair of H&M jeans I bought for nora 2 years ago (and they still fit!). I need to live in California so I can hang out with you. We could eat pie and drink wine and then listen to steve earle. I need a delorian. $11.000 holy cow.

Yes! Hanging out would be awesome. I'd rather not live in California. I like the northern climes. And a delorian? Why? And yeah, $11,000 is a shit ton of money. And I am GRATEFUL.

I wish I could come over and drink wine and eat pie with you on the Equinox.

Happy Fall!

Yay! Me too. How goes 2L? You have yet to really speak of your classes or classmates. Also, I'm going to have an election returns party. Wish you were nearer.

2L is ridiculously busy, but my classmates are still cool. I just came back from training to be a clinic escort for Planned Parenthood, which is just one of the cool things I'm doing with my orgs. Classes mostly suck, but Moot Court is fun.

I wish I was nearer too! Or less busy...then I could come out more often.

God, the elections...I am so drinking heavily that night.

Don't worry, I'm not paying for the trip! Little ol' grandma is.
