Oh hiiiii.
Not only am I ending my hiatus, I’m blogging from a public place from the first time: the Starbucks on State St. in Newtown. I thought taking it a few blocks from the comfort of my own home might light a fire under my butt or something. I’m feeling pretty motivated because the day has been productive so far, and also because said butt still hurts a little from the couple of times I’ve been verbally spanked at work by Michelle for my recently weak sauce blogging action. The tough love works on me, I guess.
I really wanted to have my camera with me today, so I could take pictures of what I’m eating, (SB’s huevos rancheros wrap + vanilla rooibos tea. Fabulous.) but I didn’t realize I forgot it until I got here. So. The guy next to me is far from impressed by my antics and clearly fighting the urge to tell me I’m a complete moron for what I’m about to do:
Whoa, brightest and worst picture ever, but it stays. Directly in front of the window so I can people-watch though, so not a lot I can do about it.
Gah! I have some great news! But I have to wait to announce it! Thinking about anything else is tough, so let’s discuss the fact that we’re supposed to get ANOTHER major snowstorm here in the great Philadelphia area. Last time, I got two days off work. So bring it, snow. It’s a complete pain in the ass, but if it has to be winter I may as well get something out of it, right?
Time to catch up on GoogleReader. 213 posts. Whoops. Fingers crossed for me for snow, people!!

OPP (Other Peoples’ Pumpkins)
It was unseasonably warm and gorgeous outside in Southeastern PA on Monday, so after after taking advantage of a fantastic warm weather run that day (might just be my last before winter strikes around here), I took a very long walk around Newtown before heading into work. People here always do really cute and classy fall/Halloween decorations, and even though Halloween’s over, I thought share a few shots of whatever pumpkins haven’t been tossed just yet. Plus I saw the opportunity to hone my photography skills, which are essentially nonexistent.
Of course there's a Phillies one.
I like that you can tell a lot of these were carved a few days ago. The fact that they're all smushed makes them looks more Halloween-esque.
I wasn't even remotely close to this one. But I just discovered that I can zoom and crop on my camera. Yay!
Here’s to trying to extend fall for as long as possible. It always seems to pass by so quickly every year.
