Wow, I can’t believe only three months remain in 2008. I’ve been busier than a bunny in a frat house since attending RWA National in San Francisco at the end of July\/beginning of August. In the last month, I’ve gone out of town twice, have been busy researching and writing (although not as much writing as I’d like, due to the two trips), and doing intense post-kid-moved-to-university fall cleaning (as of this past weekend I’m nearly finished the basement and this coming weekend I’ll tackle his room).\u00a0Canadian Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means more cooking and cleaning and visiting (Eldest Son is coming home\u2014yeah!).<\/p>\n
As I write this, the air is crisp but the sky is a clear, brilliant blue and the sun is wonderfully bright. Now, I’m a September-lover, but if this weather keeps up, I’ll be more than happy to relish October. Or maybe that’s my cold talking. My\u00a0sore throat is clearing up, but my ears are clogging, so I can’t hear anyone whine\u2014if that doesn’t make a person happy, what will?<\/p>\n
How about you? Do you have favorite months of the year? Which are they and why? I’m partial to May and September. I love July and August because they’re summer, but I find it depressing when they don’t act<\/em> like summer. And October…with the leaves changing and the snow staying where it belongs (up in the sky), it feels like my last chance to savor the outdoors…before November swoops its gray skies and clouds and potential snowstorms and icy winds and slick roads upon me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, I can’t believe only three months remain in 2008.
