Success!

Today is, in fact, the end of my year of taking a picture a day! I'm sort of amazed I actually finished it. I figured I should end the year with a picture reminiscent of the very first one.

I haven't decided if I will keep posting every day, or if I should just post good/interesting photos periodically.

This year definitely ended differently than I could have imagined, but in the end things seem to have changed for the best. I feel happier now than I have in a long time. Plus pumpkins always make me smile! :)

Today I tried takoyaki, or octopus balls, well octopus ball really. Just a small bit of octopus inside a dough ball thing. Wasn't so bad..... but can't say I'd want to eat a lot of them....

Mostly set up already! My new place is great! Adam and his dad helped me move everything. Or, well, they pretty much moved everything for me. And Lisa gave me a whole bunch of things-- a toaster, towels, dishes, utensils, etc. I'm pretty lucky to have had as much help as I did and, of course, so grateful to them.

26 September 2009

What a surprise to see these flowers blooming the morning I moved! I planted some morning glories a long time ago, and I thought they had completely died. Seeing them bloom again was a nice going away gift....
