Over at Katie’s NaBloPoMo project, I am the star today. I think that’s enough for my posting today.

Wool socks
The clocks fell back and the temperature has changed outside.
I like fall in general. I have continued to scoot to work, but it might not last much longer. The mornings are getting colder and my gloves aren’t keeping my hands warm.
Tomorrow I will talk again of aunthood.

Storms and soccer
Wind and rain and a soccer game are in the cards for me today. The New England Revolution are in the playoffs and I’ll be cheering them on this evening. It might be a muddy match, but I’m no fair weather fan. Also I have clubhouse seats, so I’ll be toasty warm and dry while the gents are sliding around the wet field.
Go Revs!
November really snuck up on me, but I remember something about promising (threatening?) to post every day of this month.
So count this as a sort of introduction post. I plan on writing about whatever aunthood issues come up, as well as babbling on about other things. It’s about quantity. Though I’ll do the best I can for quality. Or at least try a little.
For anyone unawares, the Aussies have a new show out about librarians. The first episode aired last nite and can now be seen on the internets. It’s here:
The Librarians, episodes online
I learned as much as I could about Halloween and children, in preparation for being an aunt. From what I gathered, kids are slightly ill-behaved in costume and if you have really small ones, there’s a lot of extra candy.

Yeah, I’m watching
I’ll tune my television to the game. At least a few innings. It was easier on the west coast when things got rolling at 5 instead of 8. I suppose I was also younger then.
The people behind NaNoWriMo have been sending me tempting invitations to participate in the crazy novel writing month again. I am fairly certain I’ll decline this year, but my plan is to go for NaBloPoMo this time around. The theme will be my impending aunthood. I figure a topic will help string me along.
So stay tuned.
Also, any thoughts, advice or encouragement about your own aunthood or aunts would make for great conversation next month. Please send it my way.
I ordered the latest Harry Potter pretty much right when it was published. Seeing a number of copies up for grabs at the library the other day reminded me that I still haven’t finished the last installment of the Potter saga and shamed me into giving it another go. Believe you me, I have tried. I sit down and try to read that sucker, but it just isn’t happening.
Is it me? Is it Harry? I don’t know. I have an entire rainy day ahead of me to try and slog through some pages.

Mission complete
The wedding bells have rung and now I’ve got one married brother and and one new sister-in-law. Check out some of the celebration via the photo booth at Usnaps (hint: the secret code is ‘vashonwedding’ and the bride and groom are on page 6 and I’m on page 7).
A few more shots can be found in this album.
On my way to work this morning, I glanced at the old odometer and saw 100 miles. So far so good on my little MadAss. It’s a hoot to ride around. The streets can be a touch bumpy on a little bike and even a 30mph max speed can be dangerous so I picked up some new safety gear.
Tomorrow the UPS man should deliver me a jacket with armor. Laugh if you want, but safety comes first for Annie Jo.
