Good morning, Starshine.The Earth says hello.

Top 6 things I am loving today:

1. Crest's Lemon Ice toothpaste. I know, it sounds gross but it tastes fantastic!
2. Cold weather is slowly creeping in. By the end of the month, it should be pretty constant. This means I can take out the scarves and gloves and unwrap the coats in the closet. Yay!
3. Halloween cookies. Baby G and I made pumpkin-flavored 'scaredy-cat' cookies last night. Got some in my desk drawer right now.
4. The leaves are starting to turn. Now that I live somewhere with a view of a park, there should be quite a colorful spectacle outside my window soon. I love Autumn -- everything becomes really pretty, then dies.
5. My new [tacky] owl pillow. It's a tiny 3x3 pillow that someone stitched a fat little owl on many many years ago. It's attached to a tiny easel and it's gracing my bookcase. I love it so much, I'm thinking of getting the owl as a tattoo. Just kidding. Not really.
6. The quote, "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." So true.
