Why I Love Fall
It’s been a pretty glorious week, aside from the allergies. Some friends and I made it out to Stuckey Farm for some apple picking, apple cider, apple butter, pretty much all things apple.
I love this time of year. While I love the summer months and wished they’d never end, I also love the change in seasons. The weather begins to cool down, leaves start to change color, it gets darker earlier. I also love it because I haven’t had to run the air conditioner in at least a week, saving on my energy costs. Woo hoo!
In fact, it’s raining right now and I’ve been sipping on some warm apple cider, listening to Ray Charles with the windows open. It’s probably one of my favorite things in the world… okay, I’m over exaggerating, but it is pretty sweet.
Some other things I like about fall? Halloween, haunted houses, watching movies, football… oh the list could go on.
In other news, I’ve slowly been making the switch at work from a PC laptop to a MacBook. Overall I like the MacBook because it’s faster than my work laptop, I can switch around programs easier, and it’s just easier on the eyes. I finally got Office 2008 and have been using Entourage, which was one of my biggest “ties” to my PC. I don’t think my boss planned on me keeping it as my primary machine, but I think it’s going to work out beautifully.
Work is going okay, I really need to decorate my office after being there a year, but have been too busy doing other things to really spend the time to take care of that… hopefully I’ll find a paint scheme that I like and just get it over with.
Well, I suppose I should go to bed for now. Have a small conference tomorrow morning, our IT man and our production director will be talking about the technologies we use at Grace. Fortunately I don’t have to speak, but I’m hoping that by this time next year, we can have a new website in place that we can brag about. I hope all of you are enjoying this beautiful fall weather!
