October and November

Yeah, those two months went by in a hurry!

I spent a couple weeks recovering from the marathon. It was strange -- this one really took a lot out of me. I suppose I should not be surprised due the the heat and conditions on the day, but it really threw my body for a loop. But I'm feeling much better now!

My friends Dave and Julia threw a Halloween costume party. As always it was a good time. There were some really creative costumes like Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Pat Benetar, and the skinny guy from the Dire Straits Money for Nothing video. Stacey's costume was so good that at first nobody recognized her. Nora and I did a group-costume thing along with Dave and Julia and went as the cast of Scooby Doo:

Moving on to November, Nora actually had Thanksgiving day off from work! To celebrate, we cooked up some good food, put Levee in the car and drove up to Wisconsin to have dinner with my Mom, Dad and brother. As usual, Levee was the life of the party -- running around the house, sniffing everything like a curious puppy will, waiting...hoping...praying that my Mom would drop some turkey on the floor.

The next day was Nora's birthday and I took her to a performance of Dance Chicago. I know that she missing dancing a lot and figured that she would really enjoy seeing the show. She did enjoy it, so that made me pretty happy.

Since then it's been a whole lot of little things. Cleaning the house, rearranging things, purging old things out, setting up our new tv, continuing the ongoing home-improvement projects. Our house is really coming together, but all of the projects certainly do take a lot of time.

Now here we are in December. Looking at our calendar, things are not going to slow down anytime this month, so let's just roll with it! Time to get into full holiday mode (without being crazy).
