This Past Week

I rigged a chicken wire type device on my back gate to keep the bunnies out of the yard.

I ate pumpkin ice cream and it was weird.

I checked out the new outlet mall just outside of El Paso and it is huge with lots of good stores - generally not cheap though. They have a BCBG so maybe I can use that to entice my sister to visit.

I started keeping track of the number of miles I run each week - thanks to the help of my nifty Garmin Forerunner from Santa Dad last Christmas. I am trying to work up to 30-35 miles per week.

I did some more little tasks to try to get my house fixed up - very time consuming with lots of stages.

I started planning my Christmas shopping.

I lamented the dearth of toddler toys not requiring batteries - I was trying to shop for a new-big-brother gift.

I realized that my planned Thanksgiving trip to South Padre Island overlaps with my planned trip to Psychonomics in Long Beach - aaaggghhh!

I hosted a tapas party at my house last night - it was red wine and potluck with friends/neighbors/colleagues Kim Cheryl Ed Dom. I made a hot dish with chorizo potato & rosemary and a cold dish with mozzarella tomato garlic & olive oil.
