pumpkin season

This evening I went pumpkin hunting with Randy, Lori, and Maddy. It was the first heavy coat weather of the season, but I was only wearing a track jacket. Tomorrow's supposed to be even colder. It's about time we had some autumn weather, seeing as how it's almost November. We chased the pumpkin gathering with pumpkin cheesecake and I preceded it with a pumpkin spice latte. Somehow, pumpkins tend to make everything taste better.

money says it all

Today my department moved to another floor of our building and became a new department. Basically, I got hooked up because I now sit in front of a large wall of windows looking out over Greektown, I've got an awesome cube in a quiet part of the office, and the carpeting and lighting on the floor are aesthetically pleasing. I love it. I had to do a lot of cleaning in my cube, though, because apparently the person ahead of me had no home training and trashed the desk. It was so bad that I had to get a brand new phone and the closet I hang my coat in is so foul that my jacket now smells like stank. Pictured here is a drawer full of condiments that had a mysterious slip of paper with a phone number labled 'money.' It was the crown jewel. But seriously, I absolutely love my new cube. :)

nick rules the neighborhood

Here's another one from Sunday. Nick and I took advantage of the warm weather and spent a little time porch-sitting. I think he was about ready to bark at another dog in this picture. He does a good job protecting the neighborhood. My neighbor even commented on it, saying he rules the neighborhood. He wouldn't have it any other way.

head back chest out

This picture's from Sunday and I meant to post it that day, but I forgot. That's a-ok, though, because I'm in desperate need of a little sunshine today, and this picture may just be the trick. Look at how beautiful this guy is. He's nobility, I swear.

don't be fooled global warming can appear beautiful

We're already a week into October and it feels like August. Temps up around ninety, humidity, and new flowers. I went to visit my doctor on Saturday and he commented on allergies being behind schedule by more than a month. If you don't believe in global warning, I don't believe you're capable of rational thinking.

the sun plays the xylophone better than me

I took this picture yesterday. No particular reason other than the sun shining on my xylophone made it look pretty.
