okay, so maybe it's just cold to me - for me anything below 70 qualifies - but the high yesterday was just a few degrees above 60. it's definitely the start of fall, even though it'll be in the 80s again later this week. see, in texas during the fall, we have these cold/warm/cold/warm/cold/warm/etc. fronts that roll through. so one day it'll be close to 90, the next it'll be 40 for a high if you're lucky. (as my dad says, if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes!) this goes on until the middle of december, so we'll have 70 degree days close to christmas. then, after new years, it's freezing cold (40s, 50s if you're lucky) until at least the middle of march. then we're all defrosting and warm again.
example: am: snowing. noon: raining. 3pm: 80 degrees. this was a spring day (yes, one day) back in 97 or so. weird, neh?
this weekend was good, though i discovered that i really need to start working out again. i spent all day saturday helping to paint the upstairs room for the youth group. i'm still stiff. as crazy as the colors are, though, i think it's going to look really cool. :) that afternoon i worked a bit more on my dresser and then helped the so's mom clean out her side of the garage/work area. (okay, so maybe i'm a little selfish - more room for me to work too!) is it weird that i spend more time over there sometimes than he does? chalk it up to his mom and i being good friends, i suppose. (you ever wished you could marry someone's family?) ;)
yesterday, said so's mom and i worked a bit more on the booth. we moved things around again and opened it up a bit more. punishment for wearing pants to church? i got to climb up on the ladder and hang christmas lights. i really do think i have a phobia about aluminum ladders. i'm afraid if i lean too far one way or the other, me and the ladder will come toppling down. heavier ladders don't seem to have the same effect. hmmm...i wonder what the name for that would be - alumiladiphobia?
i'm headed out of town tonight to the quilt show down in houston. three whole days away from a computer? i might just have to take the laptop with me - the internet connection part of it might be iffy though. i think of everything, i'm really going to miss chatting with one of my friends. we've gotten into the habit of catching up with each other daily - i'm going to go through withdrawals!
