bright blessings for samhain!
(if you don't celebrate samhain -- or hallowe'en... i hope you have a rockin' thursday.)
i am looking forward to thursday, and trying to decide just exactly how i want to celebrate.
i wish things were not quite as sloooow, as they seem to be.
i'm looking forward to the holidays, if only for the family aspect... i need something. i don't like how quiet and sad i feel now.
these are not the best days to be me.
despite logistical difficulties, i was lucky enough to meet Alton Brown on saturday afternoon.
we were even geeky enough to give him a business card, and then have our picture taken with him. (i love his current website, but wouldn't it rock if he decided to include flash or do a redesign with us? i can dream, can't i?)
i think he's cool as hell.
yay me!
this time of the year is my favorite, even though i tend to take an emotional roller coaster ride every year at this time. i long for years gone by and then will revel in the pure magic i feel when the air is crisp and the leaves are ablaze. laughing and crying at the same time, i wander through autumn, wishing it could last forever.
it is the most fleeting of seasons; elusive and full of wonder. and it has started for me today...
my fingers and toes are chilly, and i can hear the breeze in the trees. i want to wrap myself in layers of softness and warmth and lose myself in my head for a while.
