Last night, the College Boy brought dinner over so we could watch the next episode of our latest mini-series and then make our annual October snack bags together!

It's a saltier mix this year, but the candy corn, pumpkins, and M&Ms give a nice pop of sweet when it's needed. #YUM!

It's been a while since I've made a cardigan. I finished this one in time for the arrival of cooler weather (c'mon, autumn!).

... and I share blankets and cardigans (that I've MADE) with folks who might find my world a bit chilly. So yeah, I DO consider myself a rather accommodating hostess.

Get ready to hunker down and hibernate, people.

Five-thirty on Saturday morning, and Tish-Tish wants me to read a little faster so I can get to the part where I close the book and put it down to pet her. #ReadingWithPets

Hours away from a government shutdown, and I just watched the "warrior ethos" speeches performed by the incompetent drunk and the military-service-dodging ick.

Stormin' Norman and Colin Powell are rolling in their graves.
