here comes the fall

The weather is changing and I pulled out the box of scarves and beanies this morning. Yes, I have a whole box labeled "winter wear" in my closet, so what.
Becky Boatwright has been here with me these past few days and it has been a pleasure to have her to visit with. Last night we went to Mimi's for dinner. We ate so much food. It was like we hadn't eaten in 7 days. We had the best waitress and tipped her fantastically. Because it was Becky's first time at Mimi's we received 4 free muffins. Who knew that they did such things? I don't remember receiving muffins the first time I went to mimi's. But then again I'm not Becky...
she has such charisma.
We went to Starbucks this morning and ate those muffins, drank our drinks and watched the fog lift from the lake and the city scape behind it. What a sight. We were such "grownups" we drank, read the paper and had serious conversation.
I'm turning in my two weeks notice to Wild Oats tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to working one job again. These past months have been really rough. The new Starbucks store is opening this Friday and I'm really looking forward to the changes ahead. School is coming to a close for the quarter, too. Then on October 2, I start my FINAL quarter of culinary school. Can you even believe it? I sure can't. When I think about it I am amazed at how time is such an odd thing. It has flown by and seemed to creep by all at the same time. I'm still trying to figure out what happens next (after school I mean). All I know is that I'm looking forward to being done.
I downloaded Derek Webb's new CD for free and am enjoying it so far. I suggest checking it out at freederekwebb.com
