Make me smile...

--returning my way-overdue-and-already-billed library books and finding Ned behind the counter. a nice chat, with a good book recommendation and the promise of yet another pumpkin slaughter party at Karen's lovely condo.
--the first rainshower of fall this afternoon. rolling down the car windows, not minding as the drops fell on my arm.
--A family member (who shall not be named) calling to tell me that she enjoyed reading a post on my blog
--listening to John tell the highlights of his "Jesus Camp" viewing
--munching on a few 'figments,' courtesy of Dora-chan. Bitter black chocolate coating on ripe mission figs. yah.
--an email message from my little bro. letting us know that the ultrasound went well and boy #2 will soon join their family.
--it's 9:30pm on Friday the 13th. and all is well...
