I'm still alive... I promise

I think I still have some posts in draft... there just hasn't been time.
Let's try the Cliff's Notes Version of things:

work= insane. challenging. overwhelming. changing. ok.
{my CBeds software upgrade is at the end of the month. and in 2 days i have my first 1 day Process Improvement Workshop that i'm facilitating with my co-worker dave. its been a lot of work, but its a great process}
**should be getting a promotion in the near future. the hard work is paying off.

summer= over. too quick. too busy. too much fun.
i can't believe its almost fall. i love the cool weather. i hate that its dark at 6am and 7pm. but i'm looking forward to sweaters, long sleeves, clogs and fleece socks. walking in this weather is glorious.

walking= difficult. sore. empowering. me-time. uplifting.
i did my longest weekend this past weekend. 15 miles saturday. 15 miles sunday. i was sore when i woke up sunday but walking kept me from getting stiff. monday i was still a little sore. i walked like an old lady with a hip problem at times. but i lived. and better yet, i made it without any blisters fully forming. it was close. but almost doesn't count.

fundraising= slowing down. working hard.
i am selling my cards at the W. Bridgewater Park Day Celebration on Sunday. It should be a fun day with activities for the whole family, so if you're free come on by!

other random goodies:
pampered chef- got my goodies and they are wonderful. sharp knives make life easier. looking forward to picking up my fresh produce tomorrow and creating something wonderful with the organic veggies and my greener cookware.

CSA: peaches are so good when they are fresh! well, everything is. and so i'm going to sign up for Heaven's Harvest Farms' first ever Fall Share! very much looking forward to fall vegetables, apples and the like.

falling behind- taking pictures. the last 3 outting i've been to that I've actually remembered to bring the camera too did not contribute any files to my hard drive. need to work on that. aila is 4 months old and her set of photos is severely lacking. in better news, kris got some professional ones done that i'm absolutely wild about. those kids are too darn photogenic! ;)
library books- can't seem to finish them before they are due back. oh well. i can always take them out again in the future right?

harry potter- listening o the audio books on my ipod while i walk. Jim Dale has a captivating voice. if you like harry, check out these CDs.

dan- dan's good. my rock, even when things get crazy. work's been busy for him too which is a very good thing. job security. he bought a new-used jeep with a plow that he's been tuning up in preparation for winter. soon he'll start chopping wood and loading up its home on the deck. we lit a small fire to burn some cardboard on sunday. i'm looking forward to weekend afternoons curled up on the couch with a fire keeping us warm.

so on that lovely note, i'm going to go to bed. tomorrow's another long day. with a long, busy weekend ahead. need to get my beauty sleep when i can.

if i haven't talked to you lately, rest assured i do miss you.
let's catch up soon ok?
i've missed my blog friends.
see you in the fall!
