This little bug...

We can't seem to all get well - we have been passing a stomach bug back and forth to each other for almost 2 weeks now. I am taking Lily to the DR this afternoon to see if there is anything we can do - I imagine they will say it just has to run its course... again and again :)

Other than that, things have just been busy. The church auction was last Saturday, we handle all of the computer stuff for it so it was a busy weekend.

I am trying to get the finishing touches put on the website, I am adding a link to the Belief-o-matic quiz and my own results from it - of course every time I take it I get slightly different results, depends on what mood I'm in I suppose! Unitarian Universalism always comes out number 1 though, I guess that's a good sign that I at least go to the right church!

Let's see- since my last post we got Lily's bed all set up and room done - it turned out really cute. You can see the photos on our Photo site. We also went on a night hike at Bear Creek Nature Center. That was a cool experience. The weather was perfect - had that crisp autumn feel to it but not a biting cold. There was a pretty full moon so there was just enough light to see where we were going, but we had to rely heavily on our other senses as well. Its amazing the things you don't notice when you can see - we use our vision so much that we tend to shut out the other senses. I can still smell the dirt and fresh tree leaves, I can hear the rustling of our feet on the ground and the almost imperceptible running of water from a nearby creek, I can feel the slight brush of the tree limbs as I walk past them... all things I had never even noticed before! If you ever get a chance to go on one of these, I highly recommend it! If not, at least close your eyes sometimes when you are outside and take in all the other sensations around you.

It has been very warm so far this fall - it is the middle of November, and I am still wearing short sleaves and having to turn on the fans and open all the windows at home at least twice a week! Our high's have been in the 60s and even 70s some days. Remember that by this time last year we had survived a major blizzard already, and had racked up 4 snow days at school. So far this year - nothing! I know they say we shouldn't feel the effects of global warming at a local level yet, but its making me wonder...this is just plain odd. I hope the mountains are getting some snow at least - I want to go skiing this winter! Sigh. Maybe at least for a change we will have decent outside holiday decorations...how much time we spend outside every year decorating is directly proportional to the temperature!
