We are having nice, cool autumnal weather right now and I love it. It puts me into an entirely different headspace. Today I put on my striped knee socks, black clippy skirt, black knit button down top with white piping, and my chunky oxford shoes with the spiderwebs printed on the toe. Librarian Goth Barbie, reporting for duty! (the *latest* in the Goth Barbie series)

This weekend is for sleep and more sleep - I'm running on empty - and the farmer's market. I have a yearning to make Garlicky Tomato Spinach Tortellini soup with fresh fixings, and corn muffins with the melting mozzarella centers. I might allow myself $10 to go over to S.D.'s vinyl record sale - selected records for $1! I require more records!

Also, today is September 16th. My 30th (!!!) birthday is in exactly six months. Since i am nothing if not overly-committed in my activities, I've decided to set a schedule and finish a first draft of my first book. In six months. Go.  ¶ 9:14 AM
