Week 6 – Friday I’m in Love
This Friday I’m in Love with…
1. The yellow, yellow trees in Post Office Square. When I’m on the phone at work and don’t need to be in front of my computer, I can wander to the window and look out over the top of these trees. There are three of them and one different tree that is still green, and the look beautiful from above (but reflections meant no picture from the office, so you’ll have to live with this one, from below).
2. I’ve been so annoyed that it’s pitch black out before I leave work at 5 all week, but when I walk out of the building I’m rewarded with this lovely glow. It helps that today was misty and everything was wet and shiny after the rain yesterday and the misty rain all day today. I’m sure I’ll get over that soon, but for now I’m going to enjoy it!
3. Corn Chowda from Boston Chowda Company! I used to love this place and get meals there all time – it must have been when I was in retail and worked at a mall that had one? I can’t remember now, but today I decided to take a walk over to Faneuil Hall and get me some yummy chowda. It was worth it…yummy yummy lunch.

Ten on Tuesday
I read a lot of blogs by professional photogs, and one of my favorites is by a woman in Texas who has adorable children and takes amazing photographs. Every Tuesday, she posts 10 on Tuesday. I decided to steal try it.
1. This morning I was torn between excitement and “are you serious?!” when I saw that Starbucks has broken out the red cups. Then at lunch I got a Holiday Coke can. I feel like it’s too early, but part of me was thinking last week about how I can’t wait for the holiday season to start, because it’s really my favorite season of the year.
2. I hate that it’s so dark out before I’m even thinking about leaving work.
3. I voted. I hope the rest of you (Americans) did, too.
4. Barley usually sleeps at my feet all night (or at least is there every time I wake up), but for the last few nights he’s already been downstairs when I wake up in the morning. I miss him keeping my feet warm.
5. Champ usually sleeps downstairs, but for the last few nights she’s been sleeping in between our legs for part of the night.
6. Usually that part of the night starts right after a wrestling match that takes place on top of my legs.
7. I don’t want to be watching the election returns, but Pete has them on. I just want to listen to music and turn on the TV around 10 when there’s a better indication of what is happening. I think I’ll go upstairs and try to ignore it.
8. I think I’ll have some of my yummy Dagoba Chai Chocolate tonight. My soul needs it.
9. I still haven’t adjusted to setting the clocks back Saturday night – I was up at least 30 minutes before my alarm went off both yesterday and today.
10. Even though it annoys me, it means that I get to work early, and I like how quiet the office is when there are only a few of us there and the phones aren’t ringing yet.

Friday I’m in Love (Week 5)
This Friday, I’m in love with…
All things warm!
1. The sun! It was grey for a few days this week, but on Friday the sun was out and it was b-e-a-yootiful.
2. Tea – I’ve been drinking at least two mugs of tea a day lately, sometimes more depending on how cold it is in the office or outside. Stash Organic Merry Mint Green Tea is my current fav, although I do mix in Moroccan Mint Green Tea and just plain Green Tea occasionally. I do not like black teas.
3. Oatmeal – Historically, I do not like oatmeal (or oatmeal cookies, but I do like oatmeal cookie dough). However, it’s been chilly in the mornings, and it inspired me to give oatmeal a new chance, because eating cold cereal when it’s already chilly is not so cozy. I bought some instant oatmeal last weekend (“cinnamon roll” flavored) and enjoyed it with a sliced up banana. Today I bought some steel cut oats and am going to try making a large batch in the crock pot over night that I can divide up and then reheat as a single serving each morning. I hope it goes well.
PS – I figured out how to make my pictures bigger, and they looked great on my home computer…but then were cut off when I looked at them on my work computer. Please comment and let me know if you’re not seeing the whole image because part of it is cropped and I’ll get it figured out!

Two for Outside
It was warm enough to sit outside for lunch Saturday! I heart the fall.
