Goodbye, Summer

I hardly knew ye.

T-8 hours and counting until I leave for my first mandated day at work. Argh.

Other things: I have five gmail invites, anyone want one? I have totally switched to gmail, and love it (hotmail, who?) and would be happy to share the google love. This from the girl who got a free fleece throw from Google, black with the logo embroidered on, and has it saved away for her first baby. I’m so not kidding. I’ve had it for a year or so now. I love me the google.

Also, thinking about taking a mini vacation over Thanksgiving. Not far, just maybe a few nights in Boston to avoid family (read: inlaw) bullshit. Are the museums and such open at that time? Obviously, not on Thanksgiving itself, but the day/weekend after?

I am so not ready for this. Breana’s last post made me feel better. I need to just accept that summer ’04 sucked eggs, and start looking forward to Fall, and our first winter in the new house, complete with woodstove. I have cookie-baking supplies at the ready, and the first cool weekend I have, I plan on baking some and taking them to the couple up the street that we have been trying to hook up with. (they bought a month after we did, and we are the only non-geriatrics on this street. And they have Subarus and cats and funky glasses, so they will be our friends. They MUST!)

Okay, I’m ready as I’ll ever be, right? RIGHT.

  1. Or, you could come to Brooklyn for Thanksgiving and deal with my wacky family! It would be fun, really. You and Dave are most welcome at Chez KB & J.
    This summer has sucked eggs. Perhaps the fall will be much better.

  2. That’s my motto: when in doubt, start burning stuff. I am so ready for Maine. I’ll bring the kindling (aka my student’s lab reports), you bring… well… uh… you just be there when I show up.
    I dreamt about wool tights last night. How weird is that?
    luv, Bre

  3. I would love a Gmail account, if you have one to spare. A while ago I was wishing and hoping for one, and settled for Yahoo. Hope your first day back was better than expected!

  4. We’ve been in Chicago the weekend of thanksgivig, and everything has been open then, and busy. I imagine it might be the same in Boston – sounds like a wonderful plan!
    Oh, and I’d love a gmail account too, if you have any to spare 🙂
