Football, Halloween, Cool weather
Yes, its that time of year again, Fall...and I love it...(although the 90 degree temps are back with a vengence, but we won't talk about that)...The weekends are filled with football games, groovy Halloween goodies (I'm staying out of Target, lest I buy one of everything they have), and hopefully some cooler weather in the coming days...I'm enjoying this time of year, and have been making some fall beads but its been slow going, so I don't have anything to show just yet...the ideas are in my head, its just a matter of getting the time to get them done...Brian was off Friday, having his big toe worked on...he's had an ingrown toenail since May, and its never healed properly...
it was time to have a professional step in, and so far its healing nicely, but that blew my Friday...and this weekend is house-related work, so no torching right now...I'll be glad when the Austin house sells, although I'm discouraged that half of the folks who've looked at it are 'flippers' who want to buy it cheaply and put a few thousand into it and sell it for a ton...the little house across the street from our Austin house is going for 295K, after selling in May for 219K (and its smaller than ours)...no one has lived in it since January, its just been sitting, flipping...I'd like to sell our home to someone who wants to LIVE in it, not just gut it...so we have some plans on how to make that happen...Dell is hiring 500 engineers, maybe we can snag one of those newbies to Austin...heh...
Brian put in a new disposal for us yesterday, we've been in this new house for 2 months and the sink didn't drain or dispose properly..now its like having a new sink again...nice...
I'm glad to see that Corina is back posting again...I had heard some things thru the grapevine, but I didn't know how reliable they were - and I didn't feel comfortable spreading the info w/out knowing the facts...I figured when she was ready and willing, she'd be telling you everything that's been going on...I just hope she's ok and back on her feet...
And so with that, I'm off to take care of some business on my end...We are really enjoying living in this new house, in this new town...country living rocks!
