did a lot of work on Lafayette stuff-excited to be updating the website and adding members to our board!  Feel very blessed we’ve been able to create this.

Mom et al loved the Garrett’s popcorn I shipped to them (it is one of Oprah’s faves, n’est-ce-pas) and I’m excited to buy presents for Hud, Jacksyn, Will and Charlie tomorrow-a puzzle and books. Little kids are so fun to shop for.

Ellipticalled (that’s a verb right?) for an hour tonight…and if I run 5 miles tomorrow morning (like I did yesterday evening)-I get to make a stop at an old standby tomorrow during lunch-AKIRA!  I’m going to Hub tomorrow night with an old Mizzou friend Andrea, and along with some other holidays outings I’d love Love LOVE to have a new dress!

Today, which topped out in the high 20s I’d say, was so pleasant outside.  Three months ago I wouldn’t have imagined called 28 degrees pleasant, but after several days of it feeling in the single digits, I’ve learned to be content-happy even-with 28.  My readjustment to the weather is sort of like my readjusted attitude to life lately.

All right-some political work and more writing, then off to bed!
