When a big gust of wind comes and blows all those brown and yellow leaves around, it looks a bit like there&#8217;s some kind of little critter running around.  One of the small joys of fall, I guess.  And I love looking out the front door or my office window to see the neighbors 8 beautiful flowering pear trees.  They are the perfect fall colors right now&#8211;orange mixed with yellow with some red on the south sides.  Simply breathtaking to look at.  I&#8217;ll be so sad when the leaves are all gone and all I have to look at are bare branches.<\/p>\n<p>And I think<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nitro-pak.com\/product_info.php?cPath=168_345&#038;products_id=1531\"> this <\/a>is a bit extreme.  I mean, if they labeled it simply &#8220;food storage&#8221; or &#8220;emergency preparedness pack&#8221; or something a bit less fear inducing, I could handle it, but &#8220;bird flu food supply&#8221;?  Come on.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m really excited to go to Disney on Ice tonight.  Hooray!<\/p>\n<p>And, I think that if you have kids and are getting them any kind of electronic devices for Christmas, you&#8217;ll be needing batteries.  I just ordered me some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.batteries.com\/productprofile.asp?appid=383275\">here,<\/a> and will therefore be getting a sweet deal on a boatload of batteries.  I suggest you do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Checking in on my goals this week, I have refrained from shopping.  Until today.  I went to Albertsons.  Nowhere else.<br \/>\nI have gotten a <em>ton<\/em> of stuff done on reflections, which is good, since my assembly is next Friday.  I still have to get the program organized and call all the parents and do a ton MORE stuff, but I&#8217;m getting there.<\/p>\n<p>Since I&#8217;ve been working on reflections, I haven&#8217;t gotten any tape to prep for painting.  I think that will be pushed back a week or so.<\/p>\n<p>I have exercised two days so far, unless you count lugging 4 40 pound bags of salt out of the car.  I guess if I actually get them to the basement I could count that.  I&#8217;ve had some nasty headaches this week, and hence have been a bit slack on the exercise.  But I&#8217;m not a total slug, so I&#8217;ll keep that in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just LOVE the leaves swirling around.
