quick-hit update
I haven't updated in a while.
1. I no longer has kitchen floor. After hearing how much it was going to cost us to rip it up and the dispose of the rubble, husband decided he/we were going to do it ourselves. Some parts have been painless, but the part where we poured methylene chloride-laced floor stripper all over and then chieseled up floor paper was not.
2. We went to the opera to see Madame Butterfly for the first time on Friday 10/19. It was a good experience, but next time we will try to be more careful about the location of our seats. We were aaaaaaaaaall the way over to the right in the orchestra.
3. Wine pressing over the weekend. Imagine my excitement. Ate myself stupid.
4. Learned to fake a taiko knot by following a tutorial at the Immortal Geisha forums. Now I have a Halloween costume, w00t.
5. Thursday we leave for Florida. ...Yay?

Your Saints are starting to bounce back! :)

Yeah, I know the feeling, we've been going through that with Rutgers this season.
Being a football fan is like having a great love who cheats on you all the time and makes your life miserable. They will bring you to the height of joy, and then break your heart next week. My Giants make me cry all the time, but I still love them so.
(It's too bad that the RU vs. UNC game is 12/16! I could get tickets for you with little or no trouble, but that's too close to Xmas for a visit from you.)
