Mom (a.k.a. littleoldgrammy)!

Mom, I'm going to throw a couple more magazines into the mix just for you: Better Homes & Gardens, Country Home, Ladies Home Journal, Traditional Home, Conde Nast Traveler, O(prah) at Home, House Beautiful or Country Living. Just let me know which one and I'll cash in my points for you.

Aunt Sue, Aimee and Jenny - thanks for playing. I'm sure there will be more giveaways in the future!

Remember this post?

Well, I've acquired about as many magazine subscriptions as I can handle right now.

So, I've decided to do a little giveaway with my Coke rewards.

Here's the deal: Post a comment by tomorrow at 5:30 pm. I will then put the names into a hat and whoever's name comes out will get either a subscription to ReadyMade Magazine or, for you local folk, 2 tickets to the Mayflower II in Plimoth. Your choice.

P.S. For those of you who won the CD contest forever ago, I have your burned CDs sitting on the desk. I'm lame. I promise to send them within the week.

nominated!

yay!

My Favorite Season

I just looked out the window and saw that the tree across the street from us (the one that is always the first to change color in the fall) is starting to go red.

I love the fall. I love the cooler air, love wearing sweaters, love notebooks and pens and boots and thunder storms. I love that Dan and I fell in love in the fall (four years ago). Four years ago. We were talking about that last night. Some days it feels a lot longer than that. But then again, sometimes it feels a lot shorter. As Dan said last night, "Sometimes I look at you and think, 'who is this alien person I married?'" Thanks, honey.

I don't love winter. But it's almost worth it just to have the fall. Almost.
