MAGICAL BLOG

Oh, hi, mid-October. It's too bad that I equate you with an impending onslaught of due-dates and deadlines. On the bright side.......

I have a magical blog! When I wish for something on my blog, it comes true. I realize that I have to be careful with this kind of power. If you have a request, feel free to post a comment on my blog and I will integrate your wish into my next post. Here is how I know my blog is magical:

1. Dinnertime friends. On my very first blog, I hoped to soon be, "nestled in the comfort of a new community, with friends around a dinner table like those heavenly nights at the Wendell Berry House." With a disclaimer that there could NEVER be a gathering of women like at the WBH, I will say that I had a beautiful Friday night last week, when I made dinner with a house of friends, and we sat around a giant table, drinking Cuba Libres and laughing all night.

2. Fall adventures. Last week, I mentioned that I was yearning for applepicking adventures of a Midwest fall. GUESS WHAT I DID ON SUNDAY!?? Apple picking and cidering! If you have never gone cidering, you should do it before the apples are gone. Here is why:

I mean, just look at the blurring motion of the apple crushing. What a hoot.

3. Multiple times, I have referred to missing my family. And now my sister is coming for Thanksgiving! We are going to tromp around Seattle in rubber boots and probably drink many-a-latte and giggle about things that aren't necessarily that funny to your average person.

So, in closing, I just want to mention... I wish I could find a cheaper living situation. This apartment is nice but way too pricey. *****come on magic blog, do your thing!!!******
