09/27/2004 Archived Entry: "foggy mornings"

I opened my blinds to fog this morning. Highly appropriate for the end of September. I usually like to use this month as a nice prep for fall, but instead, we treated it more like summer. So October starting on Friday is catching me quite unawares. I'm still in the mindset of looking forward to fall and here I need to find the decorations and put up them up at the end of the week. I don't have much to do, in general, it's just kind of that unprepared feeling. Tabitha's costume is ready other than having to buy a black wig at least. I need to update our zoo membership before their Halloween event. I also need to buy some candy for Tabitha to pass out. I've only bought three things for Christmas so I'm feeling woefully behind on that one. I did find the dollhouse that Santa will be delivering for half-off so hopefully I'll be able to get that ordered very soon. I'm taking the easy route for Thanksgiving, I plan to go to my in-laws' and not do much more than eat, lol. Actually, I will be cooking and taking dishes with us so I won't be a total sponge.

Yesterday we went to the last day of the LA County Fair. We had such a good time. We went first thing which is good, because by the time we left at 4:30 it was positively packed and way more people were coming in than going out. We didn't do the whole fair for various reasons, but we still had a lot of fun and none of us felt like we missed anything. Tabitha did her 6 book reports again to get tickets for nine rides. She surprised us by going on two rides that she has always been afraid to ride. One she absolutely loved and the other she didn't quite care for. But the fact is, she chose to face her fears and do them anyway and Chris and I had nothing to do with that. We were so proud of her and told her so many times over.
