It's all over

The big late summer/early fall push of 09 seems to be winding up.

I have started my job and am settling into life at People magazine.   It's wonderful to be there and I'm learning so much.

Montgomery and Cooke wrapped up our first run ever--and we had a really successful time working through the bits, tweaking parts, etc.  We want to keep performing together, so we are putting together a video and looking at venues in Chicago.

So, that meant that I was free to let life be lived for a bit.

I went to Michigan with my best lady friends from Ohio--and it was delightful! I ran on the beach, I read my book, I watched the sunset, I read more of my book (what was I reading then?  oh!  The Laws of Harmony) and then the ladies came, and we had snacks and caught up.  The next day we went and ate lunch outside on a harbor that reminded me of Vermilion, where my grandparents lived and my dad grew up. It's the sweetest, cutest, loveliest little Harbour Town in Lake Erie.  But I think it's very racist there, so I don't like that part of it.

Then we went to the winery, drank wine on the beach, dinner and then back home.

These girls are so much fun---I loved hanging out with them.

This week, we got the car fixxed (BRAKES!  TIRES!  $700!) . 

Yesterday we taped some footage for Montgomery and Cooke and then last night, I enjoyed a glorious night in, on the couch.

Hello couch.  It's nice to see you again.  You look great. 

And now, a beautiful sunny fall morning---off to the gym, then writing and then perhaps a little bitty walk along Lake Michigan.

What a wonderful morning.
