I miss my dad. It's almost a whole year since he has been gone, and I almost can't believe it. It's such an odd feeling. So long, so soon, it's all over. I don't mean to really start the blog off on such a negative tone, but it is true. It's funny, you think that losing people will put you in an immediate rush to get your life going. While I have learned a lot this year, I wouldn't say I have reeeeeally lived. I feel in pause. I hope I get going soon.
I baked some apples this week; they were delightful. Next time, less butter and maybe some maple syrup. Yum. They're so appropriate for fall. Now if it would just cool off already... I spent the better part of the midafternoon locked out of my car at the library. Of course, I would have loved to have them come get me while I wait inside but naturally I sat on the bumper and read. It's so good so far. It really makes me miss my dog - but I suppose I need to focus on getting through with these next two weeks so i can go pick him up. And keep him with me. And snuggle him. It'd be a good thing.
Well, I am going to read a little before meeting some friends for mexican food. I know, I am terrible... but who can resist? :) Certainly not me!
