Snapshots of my life

It's November 14th and it's sunny and 78 degrees outside. Let me repeat that for you. *78 degrees*. That's just fundamentally wrong. It's November. It's supposed to be grey and overcast with a damp chill in the air that makes you want to wear cozy sweaters and eat comfort food. Not beautiful and in the upper 70s and shirtsleeves weather that makes you ponder last minute trips to the beach. My calendar tells me that Thanksgiving is next Thursday, but my body refuses to believe.

Is the weather wacky for everyone else as well? Unseasonably warm perhaps? Not to mention dry? We're under drought conditions here in central NC. I wasn't the world's best about regular car washes, but now at least I have "being environmentally aware" as a plausible excuse for the layers of sediment attaching themselves to my vehicle. :)

In other news, I ordered the last of the kids Christmas and/or birthday presents last night. (The boys both have December birthdays.) I may live up to my vow to have all my holiday shopping done by Thanksgiving. Online catalog shopping in the wee hours of the morning is a boon to the modern woman.

I do the raking myself, but I'll be happy to look in the yellow pages for you. I'll try to get to it in the next day or so.

Well, the plan was for us to do it, too, we just ran out of time and things are totally out of control now. In the yard, I mean. :)

However, we evidently have someone, finally, who agreed to come out today and take a look. So hopefully it's taken care of. Thank you, though. :)
